"Mary Cassatt at the Louvre", c. 1880, by Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917)

Daily Thoughts 05/21/2013

This morning, I read some more of Give and Take on the way to work.  I also checked the displays when I came in and the Facebook and Twitter for the library.

I spent a little more time weeding in the 900s.  I also did a little bit of updating in Bookletters.

I read the last issue of Booklist.  There is a review for the book, Double Double: A Dual Memoir of Alcoholism  by Martha Grimes and Ken Grimes.  It is about alcoholism and writing.  Martha Grimes is a superb mystery writer.  I am considering reading this.
