This Book Is Literally Just Pictures of Cute Animals That Will Make You Feel Better ~ edited by Smith Street Books, 2019, children and young adults, 96 pages, 8/10

I haven't been reading as much as usual. I'm not sure why not, but my reading is way down this year.  Reading this "picture book" seems like cheating, since it really is all pictures.  Well, except for .....
  1. those words on the cover,
  2. the same words (almost) on the back (which say, "This is the back of a book that is literally just pictures of cute animals that will make you feel better"),
  3. the title page (literally the cover words, again, but on a yellow background),
  4. and the copyright page.
That's all the words in the whole book, so I guess you could say you have "read" this book now.  There are, however, lots of cute animals that you would miss.  I especially love the sleeping yellow cat inside the front cover.  All in all, I have to say it was a very good book.

Jewish Reflections on Death 
~ edited by Jack Riemer, 1974, religion and spirituality, 192 pages

This is the other book I'm currently reading.  I told you about it when I shared my Book Beginnings HERE on Friday.  It's giving me a lot to think about.


Added later:  I just learned that today is International Left-Handers Day.

Today is a day to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals.  According to the Left-Handers Day website, the day is meant to "increase public awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed."  The unofficial holiday was launched in 1992 by the Left-Handers Club in the United Kingdom.  Are you left-handed?  As you can see in this photo, my friend Dora is left-handed.  It's your day, Dora!
