Monday Meme

Yeah, it's Tuesday, but I'm just happy to be blogging again and not obsessing over a grant application!

This week's discussion: libraries (again)! One of my favorites.

What is your earliest memory of a library? Who took you? Do you have you any funny/odd memories of the library?

Post your answers in the comments!

Bookstore Spotlight: Denver


Last week, Dawn and I were in Denver for the Joint Statistical Meetings (she a presenter, me a tag-a-long spouse). Being the book nerds we are, we decided to visit the local bookstore, the Tattered Cover Book Store, one of the largest independent bookstores in the US. It was in a beautiful old building with two floors of books, lots of armchairs and couches, and even fireplaces.




They had a nice display of book club suggestions. I don't think we've read any of these as a book club or at least not since I've been in book club.





Unfortunately Dawn and I did not get a picture of us together at the bookstore but we did get a good one that night before dinner.


If you're ever in Denver, visit this store!
