I haven’t posted in a while because my computer died and had to be buried.
Now I have a new laptop running Windows 8.
Still trying to learn how to use it…so different from the previous computer I had.
So on to the next news for you.

Tonight is World Book Night…a special time designated for promoting and sharing books.
This is the list of selected books for the 2013 celebration that will appeal to adults or younger readers.
