It will be discussed at the Crozet Library Monday Night Book Group on Monday, March 6, at 7 p.m. This book is the Jefferson Madison Regional Library (JMRL)’s Same Page Community Read selection for 2023. The result of this venture is the bestselling The Book of Delights (2019), a collection of 102 “essayettes” about the many things that delight him- including hummingbirds, paw paw groves, laundromats, roller skates, self-forgiveness, Botan rice candy, nicknames, sidewalk naps, and dreams-especially waking up from bad ones.

But poet Ross Gay came up with a new twist on this idea when he decided to keep a Delight Journal. You’ve probably heard of-or even kept-a Gratitude Journal.
