DR TCB I was so taken aback by my misnaming of a Barbra Streisand recording that I could not get over it.

Your post indeed cleared it up - I had also gone back to my CD shelf and continued to look at titles.....and there it was Back To Broadway....so you just confirmed it.

For some reason it was between Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Four Preps Greatest Hits......

A plea for book recommendations for Mom. She loved A Gentleman in Moscow. She would not like The Lincoln Highway. She loved the book that you recommended, Ginny, about the blue people of Kentucky.

There were two similar books out about the same time.  If it was The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, there is now a sequel out called The Book Woman's Daughter.  These books are by Kim Michele Richardson.

Thank you. It was. Ginny recommended it. Both Mom and I enjoyed it.

It’s on preorder. And she’ll get it as soon as it’s released.

After overindulging last night I really should have exercised this morning, however, I am doing laundry now in case I have a reaction later to my Pfizer booster.

It started with deciding to wash and change my sheets, something I wouldn't want to do if achy and a feverish.

DR JOHN G my misgivings were premature.  The meatloaf looks relief map of Hiroshima - but it doesn't take bad at all.  So I will just look away while it eat.

Good.

I always thought Somewhere in Time was a ripoff of Jack Finney's wonderful Time and Again.  Matheson's novel was punblished in 1991; Finney's fantastic book in 1970. Why has this novel never been made into a film?

Maybe it needs to be a musical.

One of my very dearest New York friends who retired and moved back to Milwaukee, his hometown, is fading from cancer and in hospice. His sister writes that he has taken a turn for the worst and stopped eating. He could use some vibes for an easy passing.

I could use some vibes for a broken heart.

I just opened a package from an Abebooks dealer.  The seller listed it as "very good" condition. Well, the dumbass vender did not mention it wasa former libreary copy with library marks, stamps, and labels, Why does this ass think it's in "very good" condition. It's in goddamned USED condition. This is hap[pening far too often on Abebooks and Amazon, and it really is working my last nerve.

I hate it when that happens...ESPECIALLY when I'd buy copies for the library where I work!  We CAN'T have another library's identification on OUR items!

Happily, the galley and covers were ready for me in an e-mail. Doug has signed off on the covers and I'm waiting for Grant to eyeball the galley.

Great news!

I personally have purchased a couple of books knowing that they were library copies, and fortunately, nothing that I've personally purchased as "very good" or better have come in with library markings.

It just happened to be copies of a talking book on CD that was supposed to be "like new" that came in as VERY used library copies.  Even the packaging was broken and VERY obviously used!
