When your home has a revolving door for abused and abandoned animals,
keeping pets takes on a whole new dimension! Sometimes hilarious,
sometimes heart-rending, Born Without a Tail chronicles the
true-life
adventures of two animal rescuers living with an ever-changing house
full of pets. The author takes us on a journey from childhood through
adulthood, sharing tales, (mis)adventures and insights garnered from a
lifetime of encounters with a menagerie of twenty remarkable animals.

entire life. This is her first book. Currently, she resides in a log
cabin deep in one of our Nation’s National Forests with her lifemate,

been raised by Wulffs. Book Surge Publishing, 2007, paperback, 176

 Judy Eskin: Collectible
Magazines
Thursday, July 19, 7pm
~ third Thursdays ~
In an era of print-on-demand and cheap paperbacks, it amazing to
revisit the art and printing of magazines from the early 20th century.
Judy has been collecting for years, and her collection ranges from
early Life, Saturday Evening Post, House and Garden and other famous
(and not-so-famous) magazines. Artists range from Margaret
Bourke-White, Norman Rockwell, Jessie Willcox Smith, and others. Show
and tells will of course be available. Suggested Donation: $3
Hungry for Harry?
 Like the rest of the world, we eagerly await
the release of the seventh and final Harry Potter book, Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on July 21st.
Loganberry Books will indeed be selling the book, 20% off, and you're
welcome to reserve a copy or just come buy one.
For grand events and
midnight parties however, there are two most excellent events we
recommend: one
at our neighbors Mac's
Backs and the rest of the folks in Coventry Village, and the other
at The Learned Owl
and the entire town of Hudson, Ohio. Enjoy!
Bloomsday Book Club
 Thursday, July 26, 7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
We raised a mug of Guinness to Joyce on the official Bloomsday last
month at Nighttown, and got to know each other a little better, and
renew our interest in tackling this great book. But we haven't read so
far that you can't catch up to us and join the group: so here's an
invitation to the fence-sitters: read a bit of Ulysses and
come share your thoughts with our informal group.
oh, and did we mention that the LitArts room now has air-conditioning?
:-)
peace,
Harriett
