On Xmas Eve, I was maybe 9? We were coming home from my grandparents house. It was softly snowing, sparkling like glitter against the night sky, silencing the normal city sounds. The only noise was the soft crunch of our boots across the yard. We were in our own snow globe, and it was amazing. YMF snow activity ---

Miles Franklin. Yes, I realize that people still read _My Brilliant Career_, but most people don’t even realize she wrote other books. Before the miniseries _South Riding_ a couple of years ago, I would have said Winifred Holtby. YMF book you treasure that no one else ever seems to have heard of. ---
