Great news! Sembach Library recently received a wonderful selection of books
as a donation from the Sembach Officers' Spouses' Club.
I was the lucky one who made the wish list that they selected from,
so these books are a set of personal favorites, many of which I've already reviewed.

Quotation of the Week

“I’m not advocating giving up your day jobs to chase pipe dreams.
But don’t put your dreams in lockboxes,
and don’t invest years of your life in a day job for the wad you expect to have at the end.
Believe in that myth at your own peril.”
--Po Bronson in What Should I Do With My Life?
