Were you snowed in this past weekend?  We didn’t see any of that awful white stuff here in Cleveland, but that didn’t stop me from treating my weekend like I was snowed in.  I turned down a few invitations to go here or there.  I stayed in my warm home with my three and a half month baby girl and cuddled.  We cuddled, played, laughed, and napped.  It was glorious.  I managed to watch more movies this past weekend than I watched in 2015 combined. I even found some time to finish a book. Did I mention it was glorious? Anyhow, here is the most recently added title to our reading room!

Yesterday we lost David Bowie. Admittedly, David Bowie reached his peak of fame before my time, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t dance my face off to his music while I was in college.  Not only was he a cultural icon, but also an avid reader.  Here’s an article about some of his favorite books.  And here’s a few books that we have recently added to the Reading Room.

Hello!

I hope you’ve been enjoying the change of pace with all of our librarians filling in with the weekly updates while I was on maternity leave.  Now we are back to business as usual.  HA!  There is no longer a ‘usual’ for this working (outside the home) mom.  I suppose chaos will be my new constant.    I hope everyone has been enjoying books on my behalf.  I’ve had the opportunity to revisit many childhood favorites as I try to read my little one to sleep.  If you’re ready to dig into some great new fiction consider one of these:

calf
Calf by Andrea Kleine
Place a hold

carrying albert home
Carrying Albert Home by Homer Hickam
Place a hold

necessary lies
Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain
Place a hold

making of zombie wars
The Making of Zombie Wars by Aleksandar Hemon
Place a hold

Happy Reading!
