After our conversations yesterday, I changed the heading for today’s post. Bookmobiles are libraries, and some of you might want to talk about school libraries, so I just made it libraries, rather than public libraries. This is the Huron Public Library, my hometown library, although it looked nothing like this when I was a child… Continue reading Libraries and Bookmobiles

Something to Look Forward to by Fannie Flagg
I’m sure someone here already mentioned Fannie Flagg’s Something to Look Forward To. I was disappointed in it. In fact, I told my mother not to bother reading it. The book is not a story. It’s a collection of stories, with several of them linked by the same characters. It begins with a special agent… Continue reading Something to Look Forward to by Fannie Flagg
Catch Up Day
We had a busy four days doing party planning. I didn’t get home until almost 5 PM yesterday. So, today’s a catch up day – laundry, the bank, the library. I’ll actually get a chance to read, so I should have a book review then. In the meantime, happy reading!

Long Weekend
Sometimes, after I finish a good book (The Monk), I have a hard timely settling into the next book, no matter how good it is. Yesterday was one of those days. Nothing fit my mood, and I didn’t have a mystery I really wanted to read. I do have some fantasies, so maybe I’ll find… Continue reading Long Weekend
Saturday, March 14
From Lesa’s site admin: There will be no Saturday blog post on March 14 due to an internet outage. Hoping it will be resolved in time for Sunday’s post!
Norah O’Donnell, Author of We the Women
Linda and I went to hear Norah O’Donnell from CBS interviewed by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Connie Schultz. O’Donnell is on tour for her bestselling book, We the Women. Two smart, funny women in conversation. Gramercy Books Bexley sponsored the program held at the Columbus College of Art & Design. (Personal note. Connie Schultz’ husband is… Continue reading Norah O’Donnell, Author of We the Women
Quiet Girl in a Noisy World by Debbie Tung
Although I usually don’t read graphic novels, Debbie Tung’sQuiet Girl in a Noisy World caught my attention for two reasons. Lucy Mangan referred to it in her book, Bookish. The subtitle is what drew me in, though, An Introvert’s Story. This black-and-white graphic novel worked for me better than many colored ones when the pictures… Continue reading Quiet Girl in a Noisy World by Debbie Tung

Whiteout
Well, our weather wasn’t quite that bad overnight from Saturday night through late Sunday afternoon, but we did get fourteen inches of snow or so, with temperatures supposed to drop to about -2 this week. Saying that, I have no book review today. I spent time checking in with friends on the phone. My poor… Continue reading Whiteout
