Thanks to you guys I just read The Glass Castle. At the beginning when it's explained the mom is a painter I said to myself, 'I wonder if she paints so many paintings she has to hang them 3 or 4 deep across any free wall space?' Then later in the book it's revealed that she does. I swear I read a different book where a woman does that, except I think the other woman painted on cardboard. Can anyone help me figure out if there is a different book where a woman paints this much? I'm going crazy.

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I love to write, I thought it would be a great idea for there to be a group discussion where writers of all kinds can share their ideas/ thoughts/ opinions on any and all forms of books, podcasts, screen plays, or anything else that has to do with writing wether it's their own or someone else's. The link to the group will be down in the comments. Thank you!!!

I moved to a new area but my library hardly has any audio books, which is odd considering I’m in a large city. It should be a no brainer to have diverse reading formats. I put in for requests but was turned down because the library doesn’t purchase anything over a year old… what?? I’m sure the excuse is money related but I still don’t get it. The ones I’m after are pretty popular so you would think they would have incentive. Any ideas what I can do instead and why they might have this rule?
