9:49p - Books and taxes
So we'd procrastinated long enough and did the taxes tonight. Both of us get refunds, for the first time in several years. It seems as if usually one of us ends up having to pay a chunk of cash either to the state or the feds. I got tired of that last year and increased the amount being withheld, so this year there's money to be returned for a change, plus the so-called "stimulus" money if that ever really materializes. (Of course that's all a pile of lies, they're just giving you back your own money even though they have a huge deficit and the war spending is literally bankrupting all of us.)
For National Library Week (April 13-19) we decided to do a display of "Library Staff recommended" books. Consequently I was asked to list half a dozen books I had read recently, that the library owns and can put in the display. Now, naming books I've read recently is easy. But it seems as if many of them are furry titles that aren't typical library items. Don't hold your breath for an appearance by Kyell Gold's works on your public library shelves, alas. However, with a little thought, I came up with the following list. All are in the library's collection except for the last two, and those are on order and just haven't arrived yet.
