Happy June and the weather is really beginning to feel like summer. Much warmer this week.
Yes, Eastside Cats, the librarians know me by name. Or at least some of them, a frequent patron and also a former library trustee. So those employees who were working when I was on the board 2009-2019 probably know me best. With staff turnover not as many people know me and I don't know them either.
Spent some time this last weekend checking my TBR list. Does my local library system have the books I want to read. Also, I find a few duplicates in the list, as well as books I have read already and put on the list again, or decided as I looked at the description I really didn't want to read. As of May 1 I had 152 books on my list, down to 127. I also read 18 books from my list during May.
Going Gray, does she or doesn't she? In this case the author has chosen to stop coloring her hair and go natural, to gray. She provides insights on how gray haired women are perceived in the workplace and in society in general. Is it just the hair color or the entire look of clothes, makeup etc.
I'll Drink to That is a memoir by the author who basically started the personal shopper trend at Bergdorf Goodman in New York. Helping people find the right clothes for their body and the occasion. She also worked with various wardrobe people on movies, TV and Broadway shows. She worked until her death in 2024
Lies and Weddings - a new offering from Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians. A saga of the ultra-rich, ultra-spoiled, ultra-crazy intertwined lives of Hong Kong, Britain, United States and the Philippines. Rufus is the future Earl of Greshambury. His Asian mother wants him to make an advantageous marriage. Royalty, the daughter of a wealthy family. Or will he fall for the girl next door! Mom wants someone who can help prop up the family fortune as they aren't as flush as mom thinks, and well, keeps spending.
Happy Reading.
I'm a current trustee at my library, plus I attend many lectures and book clubs, plus yoga class!
