Bunch of Paper Covered in Words

NonFiction

Sundown Towns: a hidden dimension of American racism by James W. Loewen. The Tulsa rioting to kill black people was part of a push to make Tulsa a sundown town. The attacks by whites included commandeered airplanes used to bomb black neighborhoods.

The Step-By-Step Guide to 200 Crochet Patterns by Tracey Todhunter. Lots of color photos of crocheting. I wonder if the author is married to a person named Tod.

Unlocking Your Self-Healing Potential: a journey back to health through creativity, authenticity, and self-determination by Josef Ulrich. Something about self-healing. Page 222 says, "We make peace by finding meaning, or trusting that there is meaning, in our lives - including in our illnesses."

The Positive Shift by Catherine A. Sanderson, PhD. Sanderson lives in MA and on page 122 tells us, " There's a great poem by Kurt Vonnegut in which he writes about talking to author Joseph Heller while attending a party hosted by a billionaire." Well, dang! I was just listening to a program where Heller and Vonnegut are getting interviews. Let me find it... Here you go: https://www.c-span.org/video/?65129-1/battle-bulge-day

In the Name of Self-Defense: when it's worth the it, what it costs by Marc MacYoung. The author' s Introduction is succinct. I thought this might circ with so many people licensed to pack hit. We'll see.

Fiction

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Our last copy was soaked by water and had mold on it.

Tijuana Mean by Jesse James Kennedy. I read the previous novel, Missouri Homegrown, and enjoyed it. A crime novel with the anti-heroes going to Mexico.

AudioBooks on CD

Captain Vorpatril's Alliance by Lois McMaster Bujold. 16.5 hours on 14 CDs.  SciFi.

John Woman by Walter Mosley. 11 hours on 9 CDs. Mosley always reminds me of Anthony Neil Smith ever since I read Smith's comment that he was tongue tied upon meeting Mosely. 

A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch. 10.5 hours on 9CDs. According to the cover a shirtless guy and a woman in a blue dress get cuddly.

Just In Time by Marie Bostwick. 10.5 hours on 9CDs. Hey, this has three different narrators. That is kinda cool.
