It's a warm October night, and I'm wondering how many more pleasant days and evenings I will have before the snow is seriously flying. Getting to last weekend's class was a challenge. The trip to Denver could have been made on sled, given the icy roads from here to there. After a safe return home, I was delighted to sit and look out my window at snow-frosted trees and bushes. In contrast, today was warm and beautiful, a nearly-perfect October day.
My time has certainly been flying. I am amazed that it has been over a month since I've posted here. My classes are in full swing, interesting, challenging, and a fair amount of work. One class is about the organization of information, and as a part of that class, I'm reading and learning about using mind maps. This is a topic and a tool of interest to me, and is now also the subject of a class project. So I have the opportunity to do a lot of reading about this organizational tool, and you can see some of the books I've read as part of this project when you review my recent reads.
Another item on my recent reads list is Rocket Boys, by Homer Hickam. It's one of the choices for PPLD's All Pikes Peak Reads initiative, that takes place every October. APPR, as we refer to it, is a program where we encourage readers in the Pikes Peak region to read and discuss the same books. This year's theme is space, and we have something for every age of reader. There are several space-related programs at all the library branches in celebration of APPR. I hope you have an opportunity to share in some of them.
Enjoy your Autumn, and happy reading.
