-Nice artwork and presentation, Melissa.
-Your notes are appreciated, and I know
what you mean about reading a good book.
Sometimes reality comes as a surprise, you
get so involved in the plot.

agree with your last line.

So true and books are a great way to escaping from reality and gives us a break from our own life as we live someone else's for a while. That book is exciting and our imagination runs riot in the world of spying! Much enjoyed Melissa, love Dolly x

So true, so true. I don't know if it is true with everyone, but I have always preferred reading to any other activity. Trixie Beldon or play outside? Trixie won every time. I lived her life. Sometimes I worried that I did not like my real life when I preferred to live a fictional one. That may be true. Or it may just be that books take me places that I love.
That's what your words say to me. I definitely relate.

Yep! I agree 100% with these words! Imagination is a wonderful feeling in reading novels. I too have read LeCarre.

Good use of an illustration to pair with your post.

I like what you wrote about the power of reading as much as the poem itself. Isn't it wonderful to escape to another world every so often? Now I should get to thinking about what's going to be for dinner tonight.

Yes, a good book transports us to faraway lands and places we may never be. I love the picture of a young girl being amazed by opening a book and looking inside. This is well done and I can surely relate as I am enjoying a book that fascinates me to no end!
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful upcoming week.
Jesse
