Daily Thoughts 05/26/2015

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.  I did some preparation work for Book Expo America.  I went to my local library and printed out my exhibitor list.  There is a BEA Show Planner which you can log into to generate a list of booths to visit.

I also bought a new shoulder bag.  A big Manhattan Portage bag.  In addition, I went and got some comfortable shoes.   You do a lot of walking while you are on the exhibitor floor.  Having a big sturdy bag and comfortable shoes is very useful at Book Expo America. 

I stopped by my local library today in Queens.  The plastic bags with the Queens Library logo on them are free.  I also picked up a donation envelope.

I am reading Judge Dredd Year One on Overdrive.  It is a novelization of the comic book which is hard boiled, futuristic, and full of very dark humor.
