by Debbie Walker Did you know there is a dictionary of dictionaries? Yup, sure enough. I was at a yard sale recently and there was this huge thing! Well it is a book and it was large so, of course, I had to check it out. (I have a thing for dictionaries) It is Webster’s […]
by Debbie Walker I guess by now you know that I will read most anything. I’m just curious about your interests (oops, you are reading this column!) It was said of a friend of mine that she would read toilet paper if it had words on it. I do enjoy reading a lot of different […]
by Debbie Walker You know by now that I have a love for odd, not the normal (?) books. I can’t help it, some of them are just so amusing and some have amazing information. This past trip to the south (two weeks ago) offered me some very good pickins’ for books. One book I […]
