How these words inflame my own heart to suffer well. And then there was another well-packed thing to open. I certainly did not expect Flannery framed. She's on my desk, and I love that she might be looking down at me and praying for me. Thank you, my friend, for such a beautiful gift!
I've read several of her books, both fiction and nonfiction. Her letters are a wonder. She is funny and gracious and full of wisdom. I don't think I will ever tire of re-reading her stories. They are electric. But the one book I return to most often is MYSTERY AND MANNERS, a must for writers.
And lookie what else I found online: If Flannery had a blog! Check it out. It has quotations, essays, and even advice on where to begin with if you are interested in reading Flannery.

The framed stamp photo is awesome. So is your love for this stamp and the message.
I'm so in love w/the name Flannery. When I was researching names for my New Orleans story and saw it, I knew it was a winner right away. I actually don't know much about Flannery O'Connor-- something I should remedy!
I'll be sure to check out her MYSTERY AND MANNERS!
Mirka, we should all have friends such as mine :)
Leandra, I remember that you wanted to use Flannery in your NO novel ... and you must read some of the great Flannery's books.
Claudine, you will love M&M
I love stamps--these are beautiful!
