Ellen R

My love of books began when I was a child mostly because both of my parents were avid readers. My husband and I both grew up in Massachusetts but we now live just outside San Antonio, Texas. We have two beautiful daughters, a wonderful son-in-law and the cutest 3 year old grandson. My job at the local library is great but boy does it ever... more »

    That's neat. My previous avatar was of Garfield reading "War and Peace." I have a cat named Pookie. Do you have a cat?

    No, I haven't read that one. It is on the list. I just started Diana Gabaldon's new Claire and Jamie novel. But I might have to stop. I just got my share of Bluebonnet nominee's and I need to read them and crank out some Reader's Theater scripts for the reading program. Discipline, Discipline. Work before pleasure. That kind of thing.

    Hey, I get to come and see you guys on Friday. There is and AALS [Alamo Area Library System] meeting in UC so I thought I stop by afterward to say Howdy.

    The last cookbook 1001 Chocolate Treats has a recipe for Chocolate Fudge Pie that calls for a chocolate pastry crust. I thought it was the chocolate wafer but I was wrong this one is a baked crust just like a regular shell and I'm interested in trying. Just thought I'd ask.

    BTW I just realized yesterday was my 30 day mile stone.

    I miss you guys/

    No the only author from play tag group that I've read was Philip K. Dick. I have read and listened to the book about androids sleep ...
    It was really odd. What was the "Looking for Alaska" about? I have heard the title but do not know anything about the story.

    Thanks Ellen, I am enjoying Rum Punch but in my head comparing it with the film. It doesn't always run as straight as the film and there are differences but I think I would have liked the book even without seeing the film.
    Hand problems right now not made better by knitting a scarf for winter and my back always gives me pain too. Never mind. Hope you are O.K.?

    Hey Ellen, what book did you read for the contemporary fiction for your play tag group?

    Hi there, how are you doing? I am reasonably well considering all my health problems which are boring. Am reading now #Rum Punch' by Elmore Leoard. Out of my normal read but saw the film 'Jasckie Brown' which was from this book and like to do the book/film - film/book thing. See what the differences are.

    Something else I just thought of today was to try and create a Reference Reading Room. Where they have their magazines there is about 1 3/4 book shelves of old national geographics and with space be stretched I just might move the reference section into the reading area. Does that sound reasonable? As a library patron would you like to have a quiter area to study reference materials.
