Saying Goodbye

There is no time in my life that I don’t remember reading. Whether I was hiding under my quilt, flashlight in hand reading Nancy Drew, swearing to my mom that I had gone to sleep; sitting in my third grade class crying my eyes out while Ms. Carter read Charlotte’s Web; or curled up by the fireplace imagining that I was a Little Princess just like Sara Crewe, books have been an important part of my life. And I hope that books will become an important part of my children’s lives.

I have enjoyed sharing my love of reading with you on One Book Two Book. I am, however, saying goodbye to the site. The site will live on and I hope that you will continue to stop by!

I leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Anne of Green Gables, which more or less sums up how I feel about books and imagination and the world:

“Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive–it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
