Art Trading Cards

This is one of Sharon Carl's -- traded to me!

ART TRADING CARDS

This one has already been traded away.

Reading - August

Reading Charles McCarry books - several - the Paul Christopher novels. Had read The Last Supper (NOT a religious book but a spy book) several years ago but could NOT remember the name of it, OR the author's name. Finally asked Google and it gave me one called Christopher's Ghosts. It was definitely the same author! So I've read those two and Old Boys, so far. These books have memorable characters.

Reading

Just finished reading Hilary Mantel's A Place of Greater Safety. At first I didn't think I liked the book at all. But by the end, I know it is one that will stay with me for a long time. Subject is the French revolution. The book assumes you know something about it. It goes into many lives of the time, but particularly these three: Georges-Jacque Danton, Camille Desmoulins, and Maximilien Robespierre.

Art Trading Cards

back in April, went to an ART TRADING CARDS group at the DAC. GReat fun.

We planned to have a get-together every month ... but missed last month. This time, volunteered to have it coincide with my shift... In the three hours we worked on them, I made four. Then traded three of those away, and came home with only one of my own.

I now have those three (trades) plus 3 or 4 of sharon's plus about 4 others. Should have about 10, plus the 1 of my own.
