One of the greatest things about books is learning from other people’s/characters’ mistakes. In These Precious Days by Ann Patchett, she gives us a very intimate glimpse into some key points in her life. Thank you to Harper for sending me this ARC so I could feel like I was enjoying a little girl talk with Ann.
“Books were not just my education and my entertainment, they were my partners. They told me what I was capable of. They let me stare a long way down the path of various possibilities so that I could make decisions.” I Award 1st place to essay, These Precious Days about taking care of her friend Sooki. The cover art of the book is by Sooki. 2nd place goes to To the Doghouse about how she became inspired to be a writer thanks to Snoopy. And my 3rd place Award goes to Three Fathers about her Dad and two Stepdads. These are all short and sweet stories that would be good for Bookclubs looking for a cozy read that will inspire members to share their personal stories with other members. The essays got me thinking about how we find inspiration from some of the oddest things sometimes. Is there an odd character or thing that has inspired you?
