AEcern Book Club

Stories often inspire my art, or at least cause my head to be filled with images and ideas that float around and sometimes influence what my pencil is doing.  Here's what I've been reading since returning to the library world in June (having a librarian job again is influencing my art in other ways as well, but that's another post), some of which may have spilled over into my drawing.
