THE QUIET BOOK BY DEBORAH UNDERWOOD

Deborah Underwood

Shhhh, I have to write this book review with complete quietness around me. Otherwise, my love for THE QUIET BOOK BY DEBORAH UNDERWOOD will become completely smothered by the boom of drums, the bang of a door or the ting a ling of the telephone. I must write quickly because noise seems to have more muscle than silence. Although quietness is made up of snowflakes, Hide and Seek and that sinking quiet feeling when you are the last one to be picked up from school, it is easy to miss the beauty of it unless you've read THE QUIET BOOK BY DEBORAH UNDERWOOD. Once in a while I was quiet as a little girl. I always whispered in the public library, walked on tip toe. When I dropped a book, I picked it up quickly. Looking around to make sure the librarian or another little boy or girl had not heard the book drop to the floor. Quietness is when your nap finally begins. Quietness is......a rose's uncurling petals. What is your quiet like?

I'm reading BUZZ A Year of Paying Attention A Memoir by  Katherine Ellison. She is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.  My Teaser Tuesday is

"I was still rebelling, too--at least within my family's context. While all three of my siblings were bound for medical school, like our father, and his father, I'd decided to become a foreign correspondent, running away from home in the socially sanctioned way."

Book Journey

I am reading Concert by Sandra Miller. This is a mystery about a woman named Christapen. She is really being stalked. By whom she has no idea. Her life becomes spookier. This guy knows everywhere she goes. He writes notes saying "I see you." By the way you don't have to understand anything about music in order to love this suspenseful book. The cover is on my page somewhere.
