Linda, I like that term you used. Causing a thread to morph does not give me the guilt trip that a hijacking does. I did not say it ever stopped me, but sometimes I do feel a little guilty. So thanks for the absolution.
Anyway, librarians must be hot all of a sudden. Imagine that. First an action figure and now in first place on the NYT bestseller list.
Have you heard about
Dewey, The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron?
I have not read this book. I know nothing about cats. I have never been owned by a cat. (I do know a lot about geriatric dogs who run your life though.) But anyway, I thought I would mention this new book here. It was written by -- you guessed it -- a librarian!
I see quite a few cat pictures here and so I know that several cats post on TOTV, and I thought they might like this book about a cat who is now really famous. It is not a kids' book. It is a book for all ages.
I was driving along in the Boomermobile, the other day, and listening to NPR. (I know people here might think that's all I ever listen to.) But anyway, Diane Rehm, on her show, interviewed the author, on Monday, 11/17.
I did not start a new thread under the title of this book. I am not sure when I will get around to reading it. But I thought I would stick the information in here with the thread that morphed into librarians as a topic. Maybe someone else will see the title and want to read it and let us know more in a thread about the book itself.
Dewey has taken publishing by storm and that librarian is along for the ride.
