I wasn't the only one who paid a visit to a cozy homestead full of cats this month. Librarian Lesa of Lesa's Book Critiques spent a few days at the Chapel Hill branch of the Macmillan Library Marketing Department (a.k.a. the Sherer's new home)! She reported on all of their adventures—literary, culinary and otherwise--in Life at the Sherer's.
"Books, food, animals. It's all a treat with John and Talia." --Lesa
Rumor says Marcie is a five-star hostess.
Have a wonderful short week, everyone!
