This has been a full and happy year for me. Living so close to family, I have been able to participate in many of the family celebrations that have occurred this past year. The biggest and best celebration was my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful to have all my brothers and sisters together again for a few days.
Work has also been great. I truly think I've got an amazing job, and feel profoundly blessed to have it. I love my storytime friends and enjoy living in a small enough community that enables me to run into these little friends almost anywhere I go.
This past year, I've read almost 80 Junior and Young Adult novels. Out of all those books, there are two that stand out as being wonderful and universally appreciated. My gift to you this year is to share the title of those books with you so you can add them to your collection. Here they are:
Wonder by R. J. Palacio
and...
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year!
