    Just finished “reading”[audiobook]Fearless Fourteen, the latest ‘Stephanie Plum’ novel by Janet Evanovich. It was the best yet…I have read them all. I have also read several of her other, earlier books. None of them hold a candle to the Plum series, which often makes me laugh so hard that I nearly drive off the road!

    Also have recently read several by Andrew Vachss, which I not only very much enjoyed, but from which I learned a lot. Vachss is a lawyer as well as an author, but most of all, he is an activist for abused children. He is a brilliant, fascinating, and dedicated man. Strangely enough, I heard of him from students where I work as a teacher. He is a great favorite there, which is to me a testament to Vachss’s knowledge and credibility. These guys … are capable of spotting a ‘phony’ a mile away. Vachss’s language may be raw, but he clearly knows what he is talking about…and in the underworld in which he has chosen to involve himself, this is an absolute prerequisite. If you have an interest in how criminals really think, and how a real insider sees the justice system as well as our political system,then brace yourself, and read the amazing Andrew Vachss!

    I just finished Deaf Sentence by David Lodge. I got it out of the library. I had never heard of him before, which is surprising, since this is his 14th book. The book is intelligent and funny and discusses the issue of getting older and experiencing a hearing loss, as well as other physical problems. There are enough side stories to keep the book entertaining and not sad. Hey, we all get old, don’t we?

    Now I’m reading The girl with the Dragon Tatoo. I’m 85 pages in and I’m hooked!

    This is a fine website. Thank you , Ardyce.

    By the way, this photo is of Lucy. You may see her wandering around the library. She’s a little skittish yet, so she may be hiding out in a corner somewhere.

    Lucy is a cutie and she sure looks at home in the Library. Maybe she is a great author reincarnated!

    I’m collecting space discovery stamps and would like to see your museum collection. Do I need a season pass or something to visit the library?

    The space discovery stamps were on loan from a private collection specifically for the display in October.

    Searles sap house would be my favorite pick. The fine detail in the tree branches impressed me, also the choice of bright colors. There were many great buckets to choose from. And it was nice to see the all the talent, and the support towards the Pember.

    I have a hard time choosing. I have three favorites and I can’t decide – it’s a tie: the Denim, Junkyard Cat, and the Pember are my choices.

    The tiger one is nice, also the bucket with flowers and the cover with the pancakes.

    I remember Genii as being so smart and entertaining. One day, another of our ladies complained that she couldn’t carry something, because she didn’t have a husband. “Well”, Genii said, “I have a husband, and I lend him out.” Both she and Bill were available to do the many things that keep a community library going. She will be missed and our hearts go out to Bill and the children.

    We had an incredible day! Kids brought their parents in to see the artwork they created at school. We had ice cream sundaes, the clown did face painting and made balloon animals. The music was great and people were fantastic! I will try to post pics when they are available.
    Thanks to all who helped out in the set up and take down and to everyone who came in and added to the day.

    I love being able to see what ‘new stuff’ is at the library.It gives me an idea of what to look for before I go in, and a preview of what the book is about.

    My brother-in-law is an avid Koontz fan. If I win, this book will be a gift to him.

    Ray did a great job with this and the audience joined in with tidbits of interesting information about Granville’s history.

    I tried this out by looking up the book “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. There are 211 reviews and the most interesting of those are the ones written by people who give the book one star (out of a possible five). Feel free to tell us your opinion if you’ve read it and be sure to check out the ChiliFresh reviews to find out what other people think of a book you may want to read.

    Highly recommend WWW: Wake for any fan of the sci-fi genre. It’s a solid read.

    I’m so excited that my book will be the featured selection for the Good News book club! I hope everyone enjoys Age before Beauty. It’s a very special book to me.
