I don't keep up with blogs much, either, although I have been clicking through to some of your reviews.
I hear you about Mount TBR--it's always one step forward, two steps back for me.
What a cute dog!

I'm so glad you liked the books I picked out for you! In looking at your library I saw a number of books that I'm interested in, so I'm excited about that.
I also saw the photo of your dog on your profile and I want to let you know that we have a basset hound as well...nice coincidence! His name is Henry and he's about 7.5 months old. Right now the snow up here is deeper than he is tall and he loves to run through it.
Anyways, have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the books!

Back in July you commented on one of my univesity questions. You told me that you wrote a thesis paper on Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", which is something I recently read for school. Not having lived in the US, I've never studied MLK or this text, but I'm so glad I finally read it. I am in utter awe at both his intellect and his writing ability. And his moral position. Wow. That's all I can say. We haven't had the lecture yet, but I've included this in my final essay. Interestingly, we also looked at it in my English class when we did a unit on grace in writing. Our prof thought this an ultimate example. Anyway, I would love to hear some of your thoughts on this, and also what the general message of your thesis was. I don't have to do an undergrad thesis, so I'm not sure exactly what that even means. Any thoughts you have on any of this would be appreciated!
How is your family adjusting to Emma?
Cheers,
Joyce
