A Spirit like the Wind: May 2010

children, grandchildren
gather in the church
to say farewell:
eight posies
atop the casket

Words can never really be enough.

2011 Book List

Alphabetically ordered by author's surname. Books don't go onto the list until they're finished, which makes a couple of titles' difference at any given point. (And yes, some of it is fluff.) Rereads are starred. If I ever include books I read for class, I'll mark them with †. So if there's no †, I was nerdy enough to read it for fun.
