"Daniel has the ability to manipulate objects and animals with his mind. He can re-create himself in any shape he chooses." This is a thrilling adventure.

ANN'S READING...

When the latest email came out, it seemed that no one knew what I was reading. Because it's such a good book, I wanted to let you know I'm deeply engrossed in David Baldacci's THE WHOLE TRUTH. It's billed as his first international thriller, and what a complex (and troubling) tale he has created. Baldacci never disappoints his readers!!

SHIRLEY BELL

We have just received Shirley Bell's beautiful, boxed notecards. She's a talented water colorist from Jamestown, R.I. Her cards have delightful summer images of whales, sailboats, dragonflies, shells, etc. We are also lucky enough to have her desktop 2009 calendars. Please come in to see them.
