Well, after posting daily throughout the month of November, I let my computer sit cold over the weekend. Not for any other reason than THIS!!! Our new public library opened up in the new department store. Yes, I said Department Store. There is a grocery floor in the basement, a theater, sports gym, a public library, a Community Center, and a space they use to practice karate!
Well, the library has some books in ENGLISH! Friends, family, and strangers - I sure do love to READ!!! I looked through the English shelves and tried to estimate how long it will take me to get through all of them. Sadly, I will probably be high and dry before I wish I were. I got an eclectic selection. A mystery, a book of Shakespeare - hopefully written so little kids can understand it - so maybe I can too, and the first book of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series. Haven't read those books in forever.
They also have kids books. I got a board book on Christmas for Jun. It ends with the words "the Son of God was born." It was just what I was looking for! Now to preserve it's life for the next two weeks!

Really? How do I find out about it?
The library department store combo seems kinda crazy!
I've quit taking my computer home every night so that I read more and I'm loving it! Right now I'm reading Unbowed by Wangari Maathai, a prominant Kenyan female politician.
It's a memoir.
