Still Life With Nautilus Goblet and Books, Max Schodl, 1893
Daily Thoughts 12/30/2017
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I don't review everything which I read. I also am selective about what I write about for the library.
Today is the last day for the Lets Build Robots! Tweens Learn. Build. Share. fundraising campaign.
I am building connections on Alignable which is a social network for business which Black Westchester suggested that I join.

I read part of an e-book last night from Baen Books, Though Hell Should Bar the Way by David Drake. http://www.baen.com/though-hell-should-bar-the-way-earc.html I purchased the e-Arc and finished reading the book.
It has been a quiet day today. I am on vacation.
The New Year is coming up soon. I have a class starting on January 8, Advanced eCourse: Winning Support and Influencing Communities for Library Funding!
I checked the bestseller list for the New York Times and Publishers Weekly today.

Cubist Still Life With Revue Magazine, Kmetty Janos, 1930
Daily Thoughts 12/27/2017
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I finished reading An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon. It is the story of a generation ship with an hierarchy based on race. The black people are at the bottom tending the plants and making the food, while the white people are at the top administrating the ship. The ship is a plantation traveling between the stars. It is a harsh place racked with rebellion and religious intolerance. The story is well written and captivating. I tried to read it in one sitting, but the writer had a lot to say, so I finished reading it in the morning.
I placed three books on hold Getting Started With Drones by Terry Kilby and Belinda Kilby and Make: Getting Started With Littlebits by Ayah Bdeir and Matt Richardson and Paper Circuits by Pamela Williams.
