Today was the annual lit fest in Copley Square. My favorite part of the day isn't even the events - it's the book shopping in the square at all the small publisher stalls. Here is my stack during my tea break at the library. At one stall they had people record a page of an Edgar Allen Poe short story that will become an audio book at the BPL. I'm page 13 - the voice you hear right after Julia Alvarez (I would have been page 12 but I graciously gave up my spot so she could record and get to her reading - we are old pals from her time at the Nbpt festival a few years ago.) I got nervous when I saw a set of head phones (what if some one with lice recorded before me?!) until I realized that the person from the booth wore those while I just spoke into a microphone. OCD panic attack disaster averted. Phew! I brought home my bounty and all was still right in the world.

what a gorgeous shot! though i probably would have tripped down the stairs and stumbled into the fountain. Next year for sure!
You would have enjoyed the 1:00 event, Di 9Jennifer Egan) but I chose poorly on the 3:00 event. Oh well - better luck for both of us next year.
BTW - - That random 9 in front of Jennifer Egan is supposed to be a parenthesis (. Easier to make a second comment than correct the first one.
