Loved the quote about our first book love shaped us as much as our first love did. My first book love was The Wizard of OZ.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this. My first book love was Heidi. My parents gave it to me when I was in hospital because they had to remove my appendix. I must have read that dozens of times.
ReplyDeleteI guess you will be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow. Have a blessed day,
Marianne
Probably should have added the link to Heidi. Well, here it is.
