Aprilblossoms123

I love 2 cook, basically, I am a bookworm. I love 2 read over a cup of coffee, in a quiet spot, preferably where I can see greenery. Equally precious 2 me is the rare quality times I get to spend with my closest friends.

    Hi April,

    You said it just right. Many comments in the Amazon site have said how it is an example of friendship and the strength of the human spirit. Frances' first words in the book, describing what happened to her, and yet she survived is a great introduction to this wonderful book.

    Hi April,

    I loved this book, and had to get it from the library, though it was hard for them to find it. Sadly, time was limited for me to read the book. As it is out of print, I can't get a copy to keep anywhere. Tell me what you think of it.

    With Best Wishes,

    Graham

    Hi April,

    Good to hear from you. Right now, I'm reading the Frances Farmer autobiography "Will There Really Be A Morning?". Frances was the 1940's movie star locked in an asylum by her mother.

    Best Wishes,

    Graham

    I am the Moon everywhere and nowhere.
    Do not seek me outside;
    I abide in your very life.
    Everybody calls you towards himself;
    I invite you nowhere except to yourself.
    Poetry is like the boat and its meaning is like the sea:
    Come onboard at once!
    Let me sail this boat!

    Dear aprilblossoms123, I would love to be able to read more, but I now have to care for my ailing Father, that does not leave much time with also caring for my twin boys, ages 11 and the household. I do need to make time for my reading and also some time to spend with my friends, wish we could chat over some coffee and get to know eachother, friends are a good thing to have. Maybe we can get toknow eachother over time.
    Always,
    Roxanne

    Hi April, I need a favour from you. Could you check my group Connecting with the Creator and give your advice on teenage tantrums please. I figured since you have grown kids you should be able to advice better on this issue. Thanks

    What an eclectic range of books you have. Have you read the Patrick O'Brien series and esp. the Dorothy Dunnett's (I recommend the Niccolo books) because both would, fictionally, compliment the reading you are doing or are planning. Do read The Little Prince. It will take no time but its lessons are memorable and will stay with you. Cheers, Tyler
