BooksNow Take Two

I'm happy to report that we will be launching the second list of BooksNow titles, through our partnership with MainStreet Bookends this week.  All of the titles have been ordered and we are waiting for them all  to come in--we have approximately 50% now.  The list will go live by Friday, with the books available next week.

I'll be picking up our newsletter to go out to each household this week as well.  And our new online catalog "Apollo" (oohlala) will go live next week.  So much to do, so little time.

(James Russel Lowell)  Would that it was more perfect out in the world, but I hope you are all finding bits of perfection in your private worlds.And here is an image by Henri Ottman from my "Women Reading" calendar.  Such images are good for the soul...
