I love finding notes, lists, book marks and photos that people accidentaly (or not?) leave in donated books. Here's a sweet note that I found today, tucked into a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul:
Hey!
I picked up your book and read this story it was open too. Kind of reminds me of myself lately. I remember telling you recently that you're the reason I've gotten in such good shape. You didn't believe me but it's true. I want to be like this guy and live till I'm 110 years old because i want to be able to spend as many days with you as possible. that's why I'm working so hard.
I love you!
I hope the woman had a chance to read this before she donated her book to the library!
Earlier this year in a YA novel I found a homemade bookmark, made out of an index card and coloured with pencil crayons. It read:
Sister.
You may be annoying,
you may be a pain,
but with a sister like you,
I do nothing but gain!
I love you.
I can definitely relate to that one! I posted it up on the wall because it reminds me of my own annoying, much loved and missed sisters.
