Sometimes books come to me in clumps. I noticed the first book in a bookstore when I was in DC, so I put a hold on it when I got back home. Then, the second book popped up on my radar, and somehow I ended up checking both of them out at the same, which worked out nicely for this post.
All locations will close at 6:00 PM today, May 8, as a precaution against expected severe weather this evening.
