Salutations!
Happy New Year! Come celebrate -- tonight! -- as we're open until 9pm
and have not one, but two events this evening! That's right, since the
New Year came on a Thursday, we're holding our first and second
Thursday events together, this evening: the monthly Annex Gallery
Opening Reception AND Gene's Jazz Hot. Sounds like fun to me!

Annex Gallery
 Ann
Caywood Brown & Hugh Brown: Pastels,
Polaroid Transfers
& Poetry Broadsides
Annex Gallery Opening Reception
Thursday, January 8, 6-8pm
~ first Thursdays ~
Ann Caywood Brown and Hugh Brown are a local couple with varied and
intriguing artistic interests. Ann is a painter and photographer
who
has had many local shows, and who will be bringing a variety of her
work to this Annex Gallery show. Her polaroid transfers are
particularly fascinating, with a blend of the familiar and
fantasy.
Hugh has a most excellent collection of poetic broadsides, fine press
pages of poetry rendered in a visual display that makes the work sing
both in word and display. Some are by famous authors such as John
Updike, and are signed. The Opening Reception is usually held on
the
first Thursday of the month, but we'll take a break on New Year's Day
and celebrate on January 8th instead, with Gene's Jazz Hot playing next
door in the LitArts room. Show continues through February 2.
Gene's
Jazz Hot
 Gene's
Jazz
Hot: In Concert
Thursday, January 8, 7pm-9pm
~ second Thursdays ~
Continuing their monthly gig here at Loganberry Books is Gene's Jazz
Hot. Their sweet sound is part jazz, part swing, and a whole lot of
foot-tapping fun. It's sure to warm your heart on a cold winter's
night. This month our concert will be on the same evening as the
Annex
Gallery Opening Reception, so there's even more to enjoy than
usual.
Join us. Donations
for the band
gladly accepted.
Stump
the Bookseller Selection of the month
Congratulations
to Lisa and Leona, Stumper Magicians of the Year!
Stump the Bookseller depends on a great many volunteers and biblio
afficianados to create its success solving sometimes very vague
literary memories. We humbly thank them all. Particular thanks this
year go to Lisa, a children's librarian from Marcy NY, and Lenona, a
theatre worker from Somerville MA. Both have both been contributing to
the site for years, and I am pleased to award them special Stumper
Magician of the Year awards. Many thanks!!
B664: boy in limbo land
I read this young-adult semi-sci-fi novel in the 70's or early
80's. A young man disappears from the sight of others, in a parallel
universe (called Limbo?) where things and people that are forgotten go.
The boy's relationship with his father is strained, and King Lear the
play comes up.
N.O.B.S. Forums
 Show and Tell
Thursday, January 19, 7pm
~ third Thursdays ~
After the holiday season is the best time
to crow
about your new finds and treasures, so join us for our popular Show and
Tell session on the third Thursday of January. Your biblio treasures may not be old, but something
intrigues you about them. Beauty, after all, is in the eye of
the beholder, and we learn from our peers about what makes something
collectible. Personal stories, mysteries, and questions
welcome. You
might learn something new about your own book. $3
suggested donation.
Book Clubs
  Bloomsday
& Austeniana Clubs
Thursday, January 22, 7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
After a two-month holiday, our two ongoing
author-intensive book clubs are back in session. The book
clubs will meet on the fourth Thursday, January
22, when we'll see where the Joyce readers are with Ulysses
(somewhere near Chapter 12), and the Austen group will discuss the
entire
Fitzwilliam Darcy trilogy by Pamela
Aidan. New members are welcome, regardless of the reading
record.
peace,
Harriett
