I tried quite a few new-to-me authors with more abandon than I have in recent years—something I'm proud of and hope to continue.

ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I want one for myself. LOL.
ReplyDeleteso awesome!
ReplyDeletei wish i had a link to share, but a friend of mine, on their travels, found a library with large metal letters on its front that said:
LIBRARY!
which made me want to go it immediately. :)
so totally cool.
