Have some fun writing a creative sentence, working in the title and geographic setting of your current read.

Example: I am in Glasgow, Scotland becoming familiar with life in the tenements by getting to know Shuggie Bain.

After checking on a Pyre in rural Tami Nadu in India, I stopped by Tehran to see what I need to do In Case of Emergency while being on my way to visit post-apocalyptic rural Wales as chronicled in The Blue Book of Nebo. Now off to China to check if the Red Sorghum is doing anything else besides growing.

I've been in China for the last 4 weeks or so - checking on the growing Red Sorghum, chasing dreams with Lenin's Kisses, getting my heart broken while Waiting and now visiting Shanghai with The Song of Everlasting Sorrow and the future with Sinopticon.

This is farewell. I am on hospice care for Stage 4 Breast Cancer. It has been a 16 year battle and i am tired of the fight, so I have chosen to stop treatment. I am surrounded by loving family and friends, am no longer reading, so decided to say farewell. I have loved LibraryThing for many years. Home to true bibliophiles! Carry on my friends, as I prepare for the next step in the universal journey! Ferris
