About Timeless Words
Timeless Words is a way for me to share my love of books! Nothing can take the place of holding words in your hands - words that will take the reader to another world! To re-read a book through the generations is a way of passing down the history and adventure of those other worlds! To me, a book is that is handed down through time is a link to past family members and allows the newest generation, who reads it, a link to the past and helping to carry on a tradition - just as family reunions and holiday rituals are!
