Carol's Book Review

“In a Time of Distance & Other Poems” by Alexander McCall Smith
Carol's Book Review

Alexander McCall Smith, the author of the popular No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency novels, offers up a series of poems focusing on what matters most to him: friendship, love, animals, places, and reading. Many have an author introduction which gives the reader a bit of background on why a particular poem was written. I particularly enjoyed the poems based on books and reading. The illustrations are by Iain McIntosh and are beautiful. This is a delightful little book.

This title is available in print at the Library.

Carol is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She thanks everyone who participated in Books, Bites, and Beverages: A Literary Adventure last week. It was successful and fun!

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Pam BitschenauerComment text: Ken, thank you for your kind words about Scott our "Mellon Man". My husband and I used to visit with Scott quite often when we lived in Fallon and then whenever we had the chance to as we passed through town. He was truly a good person and will be sorely missed.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 3:15 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
