I am over at Charles French on Words, Reading and Writing with a post about The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells. If you like stories with strong characterisations, this book is for you. It is very insightful into the personality, phycology, and behaviour of the main character. Charles has a great blog and some excellent books so do take a look around while you are there.

Thank you so much to Roberta Eaton Cheadle for creating another entry into the U. L. S., the Underground Library Society! The U. L. S. is an unofficial group of people who are dedicated to the preservation of books and in complete opposition to censorship. The idea is based on the Book People from Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.

HI Lauren, I am lucky to be a fast reader. I know I go through books much quicker than a lot of people. I have always been like that. When I was 9 years old, I have 7 library cards [my 4 and my sister’s 3] and I used to visit the library twice a week.

That’s incredible about your library cards, but to know that you had that passion for reading at such a young age is wonderful. I did, too, though I had one library card. 🙂

I think the librarian gave me an extra one [children were allowed 3] because she knew I had to ride my bike quite a distance to get to the library. She was a nice lady.

Also / just FYI – your comment on Norah’s interview post had me check in with her -I left a comment on that post for you – not sure if you got it – but even though she did make a series of children’s books for the “library for all”
She still has the wish list goal of doing her own children’s book 😊 and so thanks for your comment because it helped me get it clarified 🙏

I did find it. I am using lists now for my go to blogs. You will find this opinion in the menu bar on the side of your screen. I have set up lists for each working day and included 10 blogs I want to visit on that day. I use weekends to catch up on other blogs that I like but don’t interact with as often or if I get behind on my lists.

I did just notice that the follow option has a way for us to leave the reader and just see a list of who posted and when – so when I scrolled my follows I could see that so and so posted 4 hours ago and could go right there
