As the seasons turn, we admire art generally.
Barbara gave me this and a handful of other books during our recent visit in State College. This was a perfect fit for my day full of airplanes and airports yesterday. I finished it as we touched down in Sacramento. Delicious. Hope in the Dark was first published shortly after the United States invaded Iraq
At the library we receive all sorts of interesting donations and in the process of summer cleaning, I picked up a set of TIME-LIFE books with the overarching title, Mysteries of the Unknown. I have one on my desk called “Spirit Summonings” and have perused others such as “Witchcraft” and “Phantom Encounters”. These books are a
The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure is a novel I picked up from a free little library near my house in Woodland, Calif. Paris is a place that I love, so I thought this might bring me there for a little while– it definitely worked! The story is about an architect, Lucien, who works for

In fact, I loved both these finds so much I was talking about it with one of my dad’s office assistants, Coreen, and she said “you must be my daughter from another dimension- I put
I found this book on the advanced reader shelf in the basement of the library. This is a treasure trove for us volunteers, since advanced readers come in continuously to the library and cannot be sold, and must be given away. We try to give out these advanced readers when we table at the Farmer’s
I have been given a number of Okawa books by an enthusiast and this might be my last one for a little while. Though I did have quite an experience outside Penn Station that makes me wonder… I was waiting for my train outside Penn Station at around 8:30am on Thursday. I was quite literally
