Given my fondness for mundane, I would want my readers to think of me as a dear friend. Not necessarily a book they pick up now and then; rather, I’d hope to be a companion that stays with them long after the last page is turned! I would love the idea of sitting on their shelves for years, even as my pages yellow and hardly touched, my cover might also fades—what truly counts is that they choose to keep me close, finding comfort in my silent presence day by day. Now, what about you, Ashie the Ash Tree? How would you like your readers to treat you?
