#PoetryMatters Day 9: #Secure

#PoetryMatters - Peace:

I hope that you decide to read the poem in its entirety. Some words deserve that request from one reader to another. I hope that it‘s length and it‘s categorization as poetry is not a deterrent for non-poetry readers. Yes, some will say that it is meant to be read at Christmas time, but it seems that there is a need for the true meaning and spirit of Christmas each and every day of existence in this place.👇🏽

An excerpt from Amazing Peace by Maya Angelou. 🥰

We have lots of “weird” events and national days in Finland. One of my faves is the national READ IN PEACE day. It‘s a day dedicated to reading, and just reading.

Really good! 🎄📚😊 #holidayreads #wintergames #tmskellington @Crimson613 @Clwojick @StayCurious

Wow! This might become a new holiday favorite. 💚 I love Maya Angelou and this picture book set to her poem is breathtakingly beautiful and full of holiday spirit. My library's Overdrive had this to read/listen to and Maya read it. 😍 The artwork in this book is so detailed and made me feel warm and cozy while reading.

Just because.

Finally levered myself out of bed 7 hours after waking up and have made it downstairs to open my #easterbasketbookswap ! Thanks so much for all your thoughtful, generous gifts @kaysworld1
Can't wait to get started on the books and the chocolate. The pen and notepad are giving me some old-school feels! Love it all.
Thanks for organising this eggstra special swap @JoeStalksBeck

From the used bookstore today. Not pictured are books I found & carefully looked over for my #SSGP match!

The Field Guide to American Houses is an older edition; it‘ll hold me over until I find the newer one!

The NOS4A2 ARC (they collect donations for ARCs) is actually for my son, although I may read it eventually.

I‘m awaiting an order, then I‘ll be pretty much done for my match.

So, I believe I can stick to a book buying ban for Dec.! 🤞
