Following the death of her sister, the author decided to spend a year reading and reviewing a book a day. She undertook this endevour to help her deal with her grief and connect her to her sister since they shared a passion for reading. The book touches equally upon her grief process and impressions of books read during this year.
Unfortunately, I am writing this review several months after reading it. As I no longer have a copy of this book, I am unable to provide direct quotations and references. I remember not being interested in many of the books she read; however, I relate to the vital role of books in her life. I support her belief that books are a source of escape and comfort. She began each chapter with a quote (often by a famous author or philospher) relating to the power of books and reading in our lives. I plan on borrowing this book again so that I can catalog some of these inspiring quotes.
