This week's theme is supposed to be THINGS CHARACTERS HAVE SAID. But I haven't really been keeping track of that, and while I do collect quotes from the books I read, none of them seemed to fit this prompt. So, I'm going rogue.
Last year, my blogging friend and reading buddy, Melody Lee, passed away. And I have really missed her this year. I've missed chatting with her about books, and reading her posts, and most of all, I have missed our buddy reads. Over the years we must have read over 30 books together. So for this week's TTT, in honor of my friend, I decided to post MY FIRST TEN BUDDY READS WITH MELODY.
Happy Reading!
Losses like this are horrible so I'm sending you a huge hug, Lark.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely way to remember your friend. My sincere condolences.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences. It’s so hard to say goodbye to dear friends like that.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Lark, this is so lovely. Highlighting those books that you and Melody did the buddy-reads and talked about. We all enjoyed that I think. Sigh. I miss her too - a lot. Can't bring myself to take her blog off my list. Hugs to you and I hope that Melody's family is doing as well as they can. Prayers for them and you and all of us who knew sweet Melody.
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to hear about Melody last year! What a nice remembrance post, Lark! :) I would like to read The Hunting Party at some point.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear about your friend. A very nice tribute to her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute to Melody, & so sorry for your loss. It's sad. I remember My Sister the Serial Killer ... that was wild with a dose of humor.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I did not know this about Melody Lee. I'm sorry for your loss. She was such a nice person, I knew her in blog land for years and FB too. :(
ReplyDeleteIt was a shock when I found out last year; it was a brain aneurysm and happened very suddenly. I can only imagine how hard it was on her family to lose her like that.
