“I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind, always ... so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.”

Polls
Time to vote for our July 2022 BOTM Group Read. The theme was a book that was made into a movie. Voting will close Tuesday night 6/28/2022.
If you nominated more than 1 book, I chose the book I would rather read over the other. Just letting you know how some made it to the poll and others didn't. Secondly, I saw Earthsea as a TV series but not a movie. Shhh.... secretly, I am going to watch the series though.
