“Books are sometimes windows, offering views of worlds that may be real or imagined, familiar or strange. These windows are also sliding glass doors, and readers have only to walk through in imagination to become part of whatever world has been created and recreated by the author. When lighting conditions are just right, however, a window can also be a mirror.” –

DECEMBER

JANUARY
"No man is an island, entire of itself." —John Donne
FEBRUARY

APRIL
