BOOK LAB: Ugly Ass Books

We have a recycle bin at the library that should be called the Cornucopia of Surprise.  Mostly, it's trash. Newspaper circulars. Worn paperbacks with detached pages. Broken books. Wet books. Moldy books. Useless donations like roach-nibbled encyclopedias, obsolete plumbing manuals, and Weight Watcher recipe cards from 1974. But sometimes, you find treasure. One time I found the social studies …

Q & A: Alzheimers and ‘Lost’ Souls.

Q: Hi Jennifer. How can someone, like that ghost you encountered from the 1700's, still be HERE? Why don't they find peace?

Q & A: Mexican Ghosts Speak Spanish

Q: Hi Jennifer. My grandma died last year. We miss her a lot! My mom says she sometimes catches flashes of her, which I believe, but why can no one else see her?

Astrology & April’s Jenniforecast.

Astrology. What a weird, touchy subject.  People share politics and colonoscopy results, but ask their sign? Now hang on a minute. That's personal. Like it or not, astrology is a science. Maybe a pseudoscience which means it doesn't get funding and experts are ridiculed behind their backs. But it's science nonetheless. Every person I've ever met …
