I couldn't help but write a blog post about the book I just finished reading today, because there are two interesting coincidences connected with it.
The book is called, Rooftoppers, by Katherine Rundell.
First off, I have to say that I've had company for a month in December and it has been WONDERFUL! I have been having so much fun with my daughters and grandchildren that I haven't had a chance to read a book for a long time. But as everyone started to fly back home, I had a tiny bit of leisure time one evening, so I grabbed this book off my shelf and started reading it.
It's about a girl trying to find her mother, who, it turns out, is a wonderful cellist. As is the daughter.
Coincidence #1: I'm reading this book as I'm taking my daughter and her boyfriend to the airport to fly back to Chicago. And my daughter is a cellist.
After coming home from the airport this morning, since I have no more grandchildren to play with at the moment, I decide to finish reading the book. Great book. I read about the author from the back insert and then look at the illustrator. Her name is Lizzy Bromley.
Coincidence #2: My youngest daughter had a baby a week ago and they named him Bromley!
Yeah, weird, right?
Hear are two quotes from the book that I love:
"Almost impossible means still possible......never ignore a possible."
"Love and courage.....two words for the same thing. You didn't need the person to be there with you, even, perhaps. Just alive, somewhere....a place to put down [your] heart."Thanks for reading,
Cathy
