I'd not heard of the Patterson Award, and since our conversation, I learned that two associates at Carmichael's in Louisville have received the award. Belle, you need to write a follow-up column, perhaps paraphrase Thoreau: "I have traveled extensively in Louisville." I'd be happy to go with you on the quest, but we would have to take separate cars.<br />Dapylilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078377817638929416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-55237131481452249182017-01-01T16:40:53.328-05:002017-01-01T16:40:53.328-05:00Penny, my pocketbook and my bookshelves are happy ...Penny, my pocketbook and my bookshelves are happy that I held my quest down to three stores.

I had not heard of Celia Rivenbark so am happy to have you put in a good word for her. I hope my friend likes the book. She lives across the river in Indiana so I consider her a Yankee and am always trying to give her a little taste of The South!<br /><br />I look forward to your comments and hope our conversations will continue in 2017. Keep Reading and Keep Arting On!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-60200903822884254452017-01-01T16:30:57.213-05:002017-01-01T16:30:57.213-05:00Joan, I am glad to learn that 'The Animal Dial...Joan, I am glad to learn that 'The Animal Dialogues' is one of your favorites. High praise, indeed. I had not heard of Craig Childs but am always happy to find a new author who writes about the natural world. <br /><br />I am grateful for our many conversations about books...and other things, too...and hope we have many more in 2017.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-19298770429488521602016-12-31T21:15:18.080-05:002016-12-31T21:15:18.080-05:00I love reading this, Belle; a quest after my own h...I love reading this, Belle; a quest after my own heart. <br />I wish you the happiest and healthiest of New Years and I thank you for all your informative, interesting, book loving posts.

I like that you bought a book at each shop, too. <br /><br />I've read a couple of Celia Rivenbark's books, and they are a lot of fun. I think you'll enjoy her. The other purchases are new to me.<br /><br />Hope you have a safe and happy New Year's Eve! Looking forward to many more bookish conversations in 2017.Kathy A.

I must do something like that one of these days.<br />Wishing you a happy, healthy, and fun 2017!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.com
