Gosh, it never ends. But, bad weather = more time to read, so we’re not complaining too much! On the book award front – Cynthia Ozick and David Grossman will both be attending the National Jewish Book Awards on March 9th, so come on out to see them. The ceremony begins at 8:00PM at the Center for Jewish History, and space is limited! In other news, spring books are flowing into our office and authors are about to begin to register for our 2011 – 2012 NETWORK tours, so we’ll have a lot of new books to share with you…bloggers to blog…and books to review.
