Spent a few days in THE BIG CITY. Yup--New York City. So much fun. Two fun filled days with a few friends. We were up and out early--Theatre--Museums--Central Park--Bookstores--GOOD Food & Drinks. There's really nothing better than walking through Central Park in the spring--tulips--daffodils--cherry blossoms--dogwood--hawthorn. It's really incredible. The ONLY thing better than that was shlepping through MoMA-- The Met--and spending a few hours at The Strand. What's THE STRAND?? Only my favorite place in the world. It's a bookstore BUT not your AVERAGE bookstore. Imagine being surrounded by 2.5 million--NEW--USED--RARE--Books. PURE HEAVEN. THE ONLY thing better than the bookstore was spending time with good friends. Laughing--Swapping Stories--Enjoying drinks as we TOASTED TO LIVING!! Thanks for the memories.Martha Storm is a small town librarian who loves books as much as I do in Phaedra Patrick's new book The Library of Lost and Found. Set in a coastal town in England, Martha Storm is a single forty-something year old woman who spent the best years of her life taking care of her ailing parents. After their death, she continues to live in their house but now takes care of people in the community. She is a pleaser--who doesn't know how to say the word NO. She is a sad sap who seems to go through life in a fog. This all changes when a mysterious book appears on her doorstep. Upon opening the book, Martha reads the dedication which was written to her from her grandmother Zelda--three years after her grandmother's death. The book's appearance begs many questions and opens a flood of memories. While searching for the owner of the book, Martha reexamines her life and her relationship with her mother, father, sister and grandmother. Find out what happens to Martha, Zelda and some of the other quirky characters when you read this heartwarming story of rediscovery. It's about 350 pages or a 4 mile run that any book lover will enjoy!
