This is why I'm a librarian! My mom let me get whatever I wanted at the library. It still remains the only place I feel rich.

My friend just told me he's reading a new thriller about a psycho who only kills people at raves with electronic dance music.

It's by Dean Koontz, Koontz, Koontz, Koontz.

I think I have reached enough followers to start asking questions (a lot of my research is about the reception of #Tolkien’s works, so I love asking about it)!

When did you first read anything by Tolkien (or watch/play/listen to an adaptation if that came first)?

Reskeet for more answers!

I know there's been a lot of talk about not buying books from Amazon, but also how that would hurt so many indie authors who rely on Amazon and KU.

One thing you can do to counter that is request your favorite indie book at your local bookstore and library! Make noise about those books!

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Recommendation:

At your public library, check out gorgeous art books this winter.

You know, that huge type of book you wouldn't necessarily buy -- but is a glory to keep company with for awhile.
