I think I have more books than would fit in that tiny house.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Art Crawl!!!
Well, I think that it would be a good start (and you could make it better than that one.)

Herding cats for fun
I think it's a lovely little building. Surely the books are better off there than in the dumpster. Hopefully the owners have thought out all that's needed to keep mold at bay.
Hi Beverly!!!!!!!
Did anyone enjoy the Great Brain books? I re read those awhile back and they were quite dated, but not all that bad as far as offending my sensibilities today. Was Mercer Mayer the illustrator? My favorite was always the book about the little brother "Me and My Little Brain."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I liked them. I would agree with you on the best one.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hi KatieBee! Nice to see you around these parts!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Great Brain books are the reason I thought gentile meant non-Mormon, right? Good times.

My son read The Great Brain books recently, and I reread the first one. They hold up ok. They were written in a past setting anyway. Yes, Mercer Mayer was the illustrator.

It does--in Mormon country. Standard figure of speech amongst The Brethren.

Was Mercer Mayer the illustrator?

Loved the Great Brain books, including the mostly forgotten Great Bain at the Academy which was one of my first introductions to the Boarding School genre.
