Library Notes for the week of December 10th

We have been evaluating our magazine collection lately. As you are aware we have a very small collection of current magazines we subscribe. We have added a couple we hope will be popular. MasterGardener is a magazine published quarterly by the Washington State Fruit Commission. It covers gardening information for both sides of the state, has great pictures, and very informative articles. Piecework Magazine is published bimonthly and will be an inspiration for those creative souls in La Conner. The issues have a wide variety of topics from collecting vintage textiles to projects for you to crochet, sew, embroider and knit. I hope you will come in and take a look at these new additions to our magazine collection.

Why not stop by and pick up a book to read? Here are a few of the latest titles to hit our new book shelf.

Facets by Barbara Delinsky. Nothing can prepare writer Hillary Cox for seeing her lover of 20 years announce on television that he's marrying another woman. Seeking revenge, Hillary begins a tell-all book exposing John and his shady past.

Mad Dash by Patricia Gaffney. Professional photographer Dash Bateman is the opposite of her worrywart, straitlaced husband, Andrew, a history professor at Mason-Dixon College. After Dash's mother dies and the couple packs off their daughter for her freshman year at college, Dash leaves her house and husband for an extended stay in the couple's isolated cabin.

Amazing Grace by Danielle Steel. Sarah Sloane, 30-something wife of Seth, a wildly successful hedge fund entrepreneur, and mother of two, has planned to perfection a high-ticket charity auction. The only thing she hasn't counted on is the biggest seismic event to hit San Francisco since 1906 and the aftershocks it will cause in her marriage.
