The Pearl is our Oyster...

We've been pearlized! Nancy Pearl did a benefit for the Friends of the PPL and these are some of the titles she recommended. Dorothy, Carolyn
and I (and a newbie from PCC) took her to dinner and what a blast! She's just like us and we talked all night about books, libraries and reading.
