March is my month of hope. Hope for an early spring. Hope for brighter days. From childhood I remember a felt banner my mother had hanging on our chimney. It said something like “hope perches in the soul and sings and never stops at all. ~Emily Dickinson” Obviously abreviated from the longer poem…But, of course, when I think of the word Hope I think of one of my all time favorite movies, Shawshank Redemption. Morgan narrates the ending, talking about hope for his friend and ultimately, the whole point of the movie, hope for himself (something he didn’t have but needed to find within himself).
But, anyway, I digress. I’m here to talk about March’s list of books and the hope of finishing the list for this month.
March is:
- The month Ohio became a state (reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison)
- The month Florida became a state (reading Carter Clay by Elizabeth Evans)
- The month Nebraska became a state (reading Dalva by Jim Harrison)
- Russell Banks’ birthday (reading Continental Drift)
I have been chosen for one LibraryThing Early Review book:
-
Wrack & Ruin by Don Lee
