Recently Purchased/Borrowed

I recently bought 6 different full color flower/garden books. I have 2 enormous garden books but they are so heavy and large that they are awkward to browse. The reason I love these new little flower books is that they are only about 5.5 inches by 6.5 inches big so they are really easy to hold and look through. Also, all the books are in full color and have wonderful pictures of the flowers.

The books are put out by DK Garden Guides (www . dk.com). The titles I bought are:

Great Plant Guide

Perennials

Annuals & Biennials

Garden Trees

Bulbs

Shrubs and Climbers

THanks. I did read the first short story, Hands, and that was rather good. Based on when I bought the book, the story was certainly memorable to have stuck with me for a year.

Since it's seen as an American classic and, as far as Anderson goes, his best work, buy it. :D

Yes, they are vivid and beautiful. Also, they don't dig into my body when I hold them, which is a big plus!

That reminds me of what a former pastor told us once about what he and his fellow seminary students called their copies of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance....Strong's Exhausted Concordance. The book is heavy:lol:

Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut

Vonnegut's first novel, an unforgiving portrait of an automated and totalitarian future, was published in 1952. A human revolt against the machines which control life was arranged by the machines themselves to prove the futility of such resistance. Visionary and unrelenting, this is felt by some critics to be Vonnegut's best and most original novel.

Got a coupon from B&N via email. 15% off plus the membership, 40% off. I'm going to buy John Connolly's The Reapers later today. :)

"The Reapers are the elite of killers, shadow men who exist only to end the lives of others, and Louis, confidante of troubled private detective Charlie Parker, was once among their number. Now the sins of his past are about to be visited upon him, for someone is hunting Louis, targeting his home, his businesses, and his partner, Angel. The instrument of revenge is Bliss, a killer of killers, the most feared of assasins, and a man with a personal vendetta against Louis.

But when Louis and Angel decide to strike back, they disappear, and their friends are forced to band together to find them. They are led by Parker, a killer himself, a reaper in waiting . . ."
