Too much cold.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the loss of an author you liked. This past year an author I saw at a literacy festival died and it saddened me. Anna Dewdney was about my age, wrote fun picture books, and was such an advocate for reading to children.<br /><br />I've been between books of late, having the patience only to read magazines. Glory Be was good. I'll have to keep watch for Making Friends with Billy Wong.<br /><br />Hope the days ahead are better!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591345148771025453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-87706796679339416672017-03-21T11:22:46.666-04:002017-03-21T11:22:46.666-04:00Yes, it seems you did have a hard week--best wishe...Yes, it seems you did have a hard week--best wishes for good health, warmer weather, and good books to see you through.
