I found some unexpected delights at the library the other day. The first thing I noticed is that the coffeeshop is open again.
When our new library was built a few years ago, it included space for a coffee shop. It’s a small space with just a few tables in front. The menu is limited to [...]

Time to Visit the Library

I haven’t been to the library in almost two months. I read the latest stack of books I had from them before my friends visited me in late June.
My sister passed along a stack of books she had. I’ve read those. I have a couple of “heavy” books to read but I want some light reading [...]
A Novel in Letters

Years ago I read a book, 84 Charing Cross Road, which told a story through letters. The letters were written by a woman in New York, if I remember it correctly, and a used book seller in London, England. The entire story was contained in their correspondence.
I was fascinated by this book, so much so [...]

Today is a grey, overcast day. It really looks wintery although the temperature is about 50, I think, so it doesn’t really feel wintery. The forecast says we’re to get a mix of rain and snow later today so that will definitely feel and look like winter. Days like this are good for curling up [...]

The main character is a high school English teacher. The stories are set in her high school as you would expect. I enjoy the description of the various lesson plans [...]

The other day I wrote about some of my favorite authors. I left quite a few out.
I can’t imagine a summer without reading Lillian Jackson Braun’s The Cat Who books. She has written a number of them and I believe I’ve read them all. Jim Qwilleran seems like someone I really know. How could you [...]
Summer’s Pleasure

What is your summer pleasure? One of mine is curling up with a good book. I love to read, mostly light entertaining things which I check out from the library. My local library limits you to 15 items on your card at any one time. I usually check out the limit each time I go. We [...]
