Joanna,
I got such a kick out of Wendi’s comment too. Isn’t she fantastic?

Emma my pleasure – sorry for adding to the workload though!

Brad thanks for reminding me that there’s such a thing as offline reading, sometimes I forget I love the notion of reading a symphony – what a brilliant line.

Barbara humour, graphics and smiles… perfect

Ulla I know, I have a love of them myself, but have you ever noticed how much more meaningful they are when they’re singled out and shared in one deliberate post? The photo is a great addition too. Your post was getting lots of retweets the other day – I think it’s because those short posts have such impact and power. Thank you.

Janice thanks – the feedback is much appreciated. I’m still enjoying the comments on your post – Wendi’s was a cracker.

Catherine my pleasure. Any time.

Jan facebook updates? Must be an acquired taste. Me, I’m a twitter girl

Online I’ve this strange appetite for Facebook updates – the quirkier the better. I balance that with Adam Sanders’ Future Buzz blog.

Offline I’m revisiting John le Carre. Light entertainment, I know. I’d be back to report when I notch it up a bit more. “,) I like the Patti Digh excerpts.

Joanna, as you well know, when it comes to writing, I have a soft spot for anything ‘essential reading’.

So from me, thank you

Joanna,
You weren’t kidding about quoting me…LOL Thank you for including me in such an esteemed group. I see that we are on some of the same reading paths. I loved Christina and Emma’s post when I read them recently. I add Ulla’s and Patti’s to those now. All of them essential this week.
I would add to that list any of YOUR last few articles on essentials. I think they are some of your best work . Thought provoking in the comments too. I think I told you this before but you are creating a very warm hearth to gather round. I am glad to add a few logs to the fire now and then. Honored actually.

Joanna,
thanks so much for including me in your list! Actually, there are pages full of quotations in the web which make a great read. A lot of wisdom in one sentence…

Thank you for the recommendations, Joanna. Emma is becoming one of my favorite writers. Offline, I’ve been rereading G.K. Chesterton, an author I deeply admire for his wit, humor, insight, and utterly engaging style. It’s like reading a symphony.
