Daily Thoughts 03/12/2016

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I placed the book, The Seer by Sonia Lyris on hold.  It is fantasy.

I logged into Hoopla Digital and read a graphic biography published by Stormfront Publishing in 2015 called Amazing Storytellers written by Anthony Laplume and illustrated by Kent Hurlburt.  It is broken into 4 sections covering the lives of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, J.R.R. Tolkien, and George R.R. Martin.  I like the layout of Hoopla Digital it is very easy to read comics in their layout.  The biographical comic was enjoyable to read.  It focused on the writers lived surrounding their work.
