Musings
an Online Journal of Sorts

By Alyce Wilson

Having just returned from my weekend journeys, I am in the process of synthesis. Making sense of it all. Winding down.

But as I unpack those memories, I'll unpack the books purchased at the American Association of University Women (AAUW) book sale.

They fit roughly into several categories: pop culture, literature, mythology, religion/spirituality, diaries/journals.
