How often do you feel too busy? I seem to feel that way off and on all day. I know: I’m trying to do too much: be present for family and friends, dive into new manuscripts, help promote Día, and share bookjoy, la alegría en los libros. Since I long to send the people I care about a cheerful card occasionally, to lift their/your spirits, this year I’ll be sending bookjoy celebrations. Below is the first.

I welcome your collaboration. Send your favorite quotes about reading, books, poetry; brief original poems, a few lines from writing you love, visuals, ideas, etc. to bookjoyATpatmora.com . (We’ll credit you, of course.)

Share Bookjoy all year with friends, family, students, colleagues, children, seniors, neighbors!
