Lost in the world of TheBig Read, I had a chance encounter yesterday. Maddy Wells called me from the RAYA desk, asking if I had time to talk to a woman who is traveling the country taking to people about reading. But of course!

Sonya Worthy, backpack on back, is talking and blogging about books and people and the connections made between the two. While visiting cities, she stops in public libraries to ask librarians about their work, special projects of the library and what they like to read. She works for a bank, but was so compelled to do this, that she's taken two months off. She captures, permission granted, pictures of people reading wherever she comes across them. It's an interesting quest and even more so that it's all her own.

She notes that she's behind in posting, finding it hard to keep up while on the road.
