    I am happy to elaborate on any of these items, including the brands, if you want to know more.

My mother suggested I post All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. She just read it, and loved it. It's along the same "tug your heart-strings" as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne, but maybe a bit more adult-friendly, in just the messages and content. I asked her to write a short review to post here, and we're waiting on that.

I love this proverb. I think you should get it and Stick 'em up on your board!
