April is coming to a close, although I surely don't know how. The days are getting longer and warmer and hopefully I'm through with traveling for a while. We went to the University of South Carolina in Columbia last weekend for Admitted Students events for our daughter who will be attending this fall. It is such a warm, student-centered environment that I hope will launch her into a successful adulthood. We even found a California Dreaming restaurant, one of my favorites, a block off campus. I've been buying a lot of books lately, filling in my list of Booker and Bailey's Prize nominees. Here's what's come through the door:
1. Dinner With Edward, Isabel Vincent, memoir, sent by publisher
