A Girl Walks Into a Library...
...to return two books and pick up two more, and the expected happens in A Cozy Nook to Read In.
It's a lovely day, still 50s when I went out, and the sky back to being a bright winter blue with cirrus clouds crowding each other. This is perfect for "40s on 4," and some war news hot off the press as the Big Three meet in Yalta! I was remembering an episode of The Waltons as I snapped the radio back on once out of the library. In the episode about Mary Ellen's wedding, the song "As Time Goes By" is played at a dance. I said to my mom, "That's an anachronism, isn't it? The song's from Casablanca and that's 1942—this is 1937." Mom corrected me, saying that "As Time Goes By" proceeded Casablanca by some number of years. I'll say it did: there was Rudy Vallee singing it on the way home. :-) Labels: books, Cozy Nook, music, television, weather » Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Been Reading a Lot
You can tell in A Cozy Nook to Read In.
(Incidentally, I found out that the library has the two books I looked at at Borders and didn't buy, America 1908 and Wait Till Next Year. Yay. If I like them I can wait for another good coupon and buy them.) » Wednesday, January 09, 2008

More Books...
...in A Cozy Nook to Read In.
Which reminds me I have a copy of Gladys Taber's Another Path on the way; I never tried to collect it because I thought it was one of her novels, not nonfiction. I need to get a copy of her Harvest of Yesterdays someday. » Monday, June 18, 2007
