Call Me Cheap

Am so very thankful for access to my library card.
If I had to buy every book, I'd have no money.

The library allows me to read an ebook or a 'real' book, and to listen to audiobooks.

Some of the titles that I've enjoyed recently:

Joy Ellis: "Echoes On The Fens", book #15 in the DI Nikki Galena series, police procedurals in Lincolnshire.

Kelley Armstrong: "Cold As Hell", book #3 in the Havens Rock series, a secluded and exclusive town in the wilds of Yukon, Canada.

K. L. Armstrong: "Every Step She Takes", a thriller that moves from Rome to New York, with twists and turns when a past social media fiasco is splashed across the news again, with a very different ending.

Mason Cole: "William", artificial intelligence in ways you've never thought about, and they will scare you to death, with a complete surprise ending.

Dana Thomas: "Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes" is an overview of worldwide clothing manufacturing, the pollution caused by dyes, fabrics, the sweatshop mentality in all parts of the world, and those entrepreneurs who are rethinking the process to make clothing humans sustainable, healthy, economically viable, and aid a societal uptick in recycling, minimal waste, and healthy environments for workers and buyers.

Gillian McAllister: "Famous Last Words", a novel in which a London-based writer ends up in a hostage situation at the office building where he rents an office, but he's the one holding the gun.

National Library Card Sign-Up Month

September is National Library Sign-Up Month!



The modern library is not only books, but free wi-fi, games, classes, book groups, sewing clubs, jigsaw puzzles, quiet study, lectures, and so much more.

Visit your local library soon, and get your library card.

It's uses are endless.

And, you'll save yourself TONS of money by checking out books, audiobooks, ebooks, games, sewing machines, gardening tools, wifi hotspots, etc., instead of BUYING everything!

P.S. Laurie R. King and Neil Gaiman are two of my very favorite authors.

Library Lovers Day!

 February 14 is Library Lovers Day, as well as The Feast of St. Valentine, or St. Valentine's Day.

I love books, I love cats, and I love libraries too!

The above pins were gifted by a dear friend who knows me!
Am also on the Board of Trustees for my local public library, and we are in the middle of a huge renovation of our 1969 building, bringing it into the 2020's!

Sure, libraries are about books, but they are for research, for knowledge, for gathering, and for gaming.

Meeting spaces, genealogy and historical collections, outdoor seating and gardens, children's engagement, and even a new Bookmobile to deliver items to the public AND as a sort of roaming piece of the library. 

Also, the library is where I like to go to talk to interesting patrons and the staff, plus attending seminars, films, live music, and authors talks.

My proposal to have a library cat was voted down, but I'll try again!
