Daily Thoughts 8/31/2011
This morning, I read some more of Hard Magic. There is a lot of action in the story, plus there are a lot of different types of people with different powers. The story is very clearly one of good versus evil.
I spent some more time on the Twitter and Facebook account. I also checked the displays and put some books on 9/11 in the current events display. I spent some more time checking on databases and the website as well.
I also had some time to read through Publishers Weekly today. I put A First Rate Madness Uncovering the Links Between Leadershiop and Mental Illness by S. Nassir Ghaemi on hold. I am looking forward to reading The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity by Jeffrey D. Sachs when it comes out in October.
The book, No Shelf Required E-Books in Libraries by Sue Polanka came in for me to read. It is also a blog http://www.libraries.wright.edu/noshelfrequired/
On the way home, I finished reading Hard Magic. It had lots of action and fighting. It was worth reading.
