The Fiction Section

I was helping a fellow librarian today who was moving back into the library after a "redo". New shelves furniture, carpet--- the works. I unpacked the fiction section and it was like visiting a bunch of old frineds. How often do you get to actually touch and look at every book in the entire fiction section? There were old friends--- Austen, and Tolkien, mixed in with newer titles--

I had fun reliving titles that I recognized from libraries in the past Son of The Mob and Olives Ocean, Boston Jane, Stormbreaker, . It got me thinking about some of the titles I had seen in my elementary school, middle school, and now in this high school. Some stories are good books and a good book and can work at every level. If an author is lucky enough or talented enough to write such a story then it will have staying power.

Well school starts for me on Monday--- hmmmm I am still in denial---- and I wonder how much time I will have to blog. Guess time will tell. Is anyone out there reading anyway? Otherwise it is me just writing away. Sort of like those journals I still have tucked away that I wrote in Middle School. Ah well--- it is the writing experience I enjoy. Perhaps it will get me back n the writing/publishing track.
