Our 10-Year Anniversary Reading this morning was so moving and wonderful! Thanks to all who celebrated with us! You can watch this incredible reading on YouTube: youtu.be/I0qfia3Ahr8?...

My niece has been my truest joy for me to be able to be close to being something like a parent and certainly is more family than family…and for it to be her that gets to first see the book and send me the evidence…what a joy for me. I haven’t even seen one yet.

Sis in law made a bunch of tiny books as a way to track what she’s been reading and made me one

Wish I could share my book blurbs by printing the text out on the home printer while my dad yelled to stop using so much paper then cutting up the doc and using clear packing tape to arrange it against a visually appealing but irrelevant ad from a magazine like I did in 1997
