It's quiet at the library on Friday mornings, no book clubs meeting or story hour. I enjoy Friday mornings at our new library. It still has the new construction smell. The reading room is beautiful, with plush comfortable chairs scattered around the room.
I spent time at the computer requesting a number of books whose names I had gotten from my Shalfari group. I was in luck when some titles were actually on the shelves and I could look at them this morning.
The first one I found and immediately sat down with was The Opposite of Fate by Amy Tan. This is a non-fiction book and it's a collection of musings on her life , fate, chance, freedom of expression and so on.
Only two chapters into the book I am really enjoying it. She writes about her life as simply and with the same humor, as she does her wonderful fiction.
Unless something changes drastically this is one book I would put on my bookshelf and recommend to others.

About Me
- Bea
- I have raised three children into happy adult humans. I have seven wonderful grandchildren. I have added two delightful women, my daughter-in laws, into our family. I have been married to the same wonderful man for 49 years. I care for and love our Orange Tabby, Louie, Joey the Gray & White and his sister Chloe, All Black and of course, Murphy, the Teddybear dog. I am a mixed media and fiber artist, photographer, and lover of life. I am a self-taught Outsider Artist who creates intuitively and often recycles found objects and materials into my artwork. I love to read, write and spend time with my family and friends. I am a storyteller who will often weave my love of the life stories I hear into my artwork. Most of all I just try to greet each day as an adventure and CREATE my way through it. :)
