NonFiction
Marathon: the ultimate training guide by Hal Higdon. One of the library's regulars tried to put this on reserve. There were no copies in the system so I bought this one. It's about marathons. Page 232 says Scientists and running writers like myself had not yet spread the news that proper fluid replacement can make you run faster. No pictures.
Fiction
Horizon: an aftertime novel by Sophie Littlefield. There are three of four authors with similar names to this lady. This might be written for a YA audience. Some sort of post-apocalyptic tale.
Audiobook on CD
Down the Darkest Road by Tami Hoag. 9 CDs at 11 hours. Unsolved disappearance...given her daughter up for dead...desperate to find...been..have...knows...evidence...to...when...cunning.

Weeding Improves Circulation and Inspire Musical Interludes
Weeding
I have been weeding the nonfiction collection and removing out-of-date and unused items. Whenever I weed I am very surprised to find books that were still on the shelf.
Stacks of weeds on my office floor.
An update from 1988.
This "new revised edition" is 14 years old.
20 years old.
Musical Interlude
That last book reminded me of this.
