With all the loneliness out there, I wanted to share a love story about two people I've never met. The story begins with a book, and that book begins:

"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."

1/Thread. Image Reading books can be either a shared experience, or a solitary one. @emilyasbjorn & I read aloud to each other, and it's a wonderful practice. But solitude is an essential part of the pleasure of silent reading. Or is it?

This story starts with my copy of the Dawn Treader.
