And remember that paying for a writer's work includes ordering and checking out their books at the library!

Got a fab new sticker (and book!) this weekend at Autumn Leaves in Ithaca. Now I just need to find a good place to put it. (The sticker. The book goes on my shelf)

Each shelf has a theme: mystery, favorites, historical fiction, true crime, history, etc. Plus one for mass markets in alphabetical order, and one for oversized 🤓

Stephen Seltzer. Stephen actually *was* a pitcher in real life! Was even asked to join the Yankees farm system, but his mother said “I don’t want you drinking and whoring with those ball players” and that was that. It was the 20s, so she probably wasn’t wrong. But still!
