[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuTtl0cetAA ”It’s the little things you do together … that make perfect relationships/ The hobbies you pursue together, savings you accrue together, looks you misconstrue together/ That make marriage a joy.” The above lines from Stephen Sondheim’s musical Company popped into my head as I was reading Patti O’Shea’s Edge of Dawn.

While I haven’t been to RWA, I have been able to celebrate books and reading in a more local arena. I have spent the past few days attending numerous events at the Virginia Festival of the Book. It is one of the local functions that I enjoy attending year after year. I have so many…
