Throw Out Fifty Things by Gail Blanke – this is from LibraryThing Early Reviewers and anyone… Read more
I haven’t done one of these posts in a while, but I promise not to drown you in the deluge of new books this fall has brought to my door. It mainly came to mind because, as so often happens, when it rains, it pours. I have had a number of audiobooks on hold at the library and since they… Read more
