These short pieces are usually humorous, and often include mention of tourists, cab rides and people-watching in Central Park. This Monday, August 25, two items caught my eye, as they mention bookstores and libraries. I [...] The following Spotlight on Bookstores post is written by Lori at Lori’s Reading Corner. Lori is a prolific reader, who reviews about 3-4 books a week on her blog, which also features book giveaways, weekly memes and reading challenge updates.

Peabody would set the WABAC machine to a date in the past, and give unsuspecting viewers a history lesson! For a blast from the past, read the Wikipedia article [...] I know you’ve been waiting for it, thanks for your patience! I was away for the night last night – a great “girls’ night out” with great friends from out-of-state.
