“My life feels like a book left out on the porch, and the wind blows the pages faster and faster, turning always toward a new chapter faster than I can stop to read it.” ― Nancy E. Turner, These Is My Words
My friend, Ginger, showed up on my porch the other day with this book and Shanghai Girls by Lisa See in hand. "You need to read this," she announced unceremoniously as she shoved These Is My Words at me. "We're doing it for book club." Shanghai Girls was an afterthought. I could read it and pass it on to whomever wanted it. However, These Is My Words she wants back. I know because she wrote her name in it.
The last book I borrowed from Ginger was Catching Fire, the second of the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I had picked up The Hunger Games at Sam's Club on the cheap to see what the fuss was about, finished it in the middle of the night, and was desperate to get my hands on the next installment. As always, she came through for me.
