The loss of one's mother is a life...Hello Suko,<br />The loss of one's mother is a life-changing event, for sure - one that I don't think I will ever get over. There are so many memories - white butterflies in the spring, the smell of baking biscotti, or the empty seat next to me that would have been hers at graduations and birthdays. <br /><br />My pleasures: Listening to my almost-grown children talking to each other, discussing adult issues, repeating one-liners from movies they watched together growing up, and laughing over childhood memories.

I know it may sound cliche, and others may have mentioned it, but I will stick to my answer because it truly is one of the most rewarding pleasures I enjoy. A book is not merely a collection of pages telling a story (or stories); it is a portal, a magic carpet, a transformative object that transports you to another world, altogether. In a book, you can both find, and lose, yourself! How many simple pleasures can add such intrigue to your world? :) <br /><br />So books, and reading, are my simple pleasures! :D<br /><br />Thank you for this giveaway opportunity.<br /><br />~Hira~<br />GFC Follower: ~Enamored Soul~<br />Email: Enamoredsoul(at)gmail(dot)com<br />Twitter : @inluvwithbookz~Enamored Soul~https://www.blogger.com/profile/16480923281335495661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-72970583478926804962011-07-19T03:42:07.468-07:002011-07-19T03:42:07.468-07:00I Tweeted the giveaway:

Banana Yoshimoto is just such an author, it seems. I absolutely love stories that speak of human emotion, strength and psyche, and this book seems like just such a book, and it would be an honor to read/win it! <br /><br />Thank you SO much for this giveaway opportunity! :)<br /><br />~Hira~<br />Email: Enamoredsoul(at)gmail(dot)com~Enamored Soul~https://www.blogger.com/profile/16480923281335495661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-48528691851333546272011-07-15T18:31:58.622-07:002011-07-15T18:31:58.622-07:00lovely giveaway, seems like a quality story :) I&#...lovely giveaway, seems like a quality story :) I'm glad it has helped you<br /><br />sswpss at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-4440306841852817172011-07-13T18:51:27.018-07:002011-07-13T18:51:27.018-07:00Thanks for sharing your story about your mom.
