I love it so much, Joy! "I thought I saw your mom the other morning, when I was in the bedroom. She was wearing a yellow dress, and she walked past me. I wanted to close the door to keep her in the room with me.” Tears!

There are stacks of books on the floor in my bedroom. I have bookshelves, too—that's not the problem; just too many books. These are the ones on my early fall reading line-up. Some of them are newish; some have been in one of my stacks for a while, and I'm happy to finally pull them out. 1/3
