What I'm Reading Now ~ Recommended ~ another by Mary Stewart
Mary Stewart is one of my favorite writers. Every year I re-read one of her books, and often I try to squeeze in more than one. Of all the books that I have read--and it's in the high thousands--Stewart has three of the top five places. My Brother Michael and The Moonspinners constantly shift as #1 and #2. Also in the top 5 is her This Rough Magic, a stronger book than the other two, but MBM and MS do capture my heart more. So I re-read a book a year, but somehow this year I've gone for a re-read of five of her books--I don't know if that says something about stress levels or what. Maybe it says something about seeking inspiration from an excellent writer. Maybe it says something about the state of story-telling in my other reading. Re-reading is a constant anticipated pleasure in a good story. Stewart always delivers. You might ask~ "Why do people re-read books multiple times? Don't you know the story?" My answer~ Yes, I do know the story. ...
