April’s Wildflower Trails are almost certainly upon us as elegant wildflowers such as yellow coreopsis, lazy susans, red clover and Indian paintbrush color the hillsides of East Texas Highways, such as Highway 77 from Douglassville to Marietta, and, perhaps most notably Highways 49, 155, and 11 between Avinger, Hughes Springs and Linden.

You could find just about any series from Twilight’s vampires to Neo-Christian Left Behind book series, and Sue Grafton’s and Dean Koontz mysteries. There were Karen Kingsbury’s Christian romance books, children’s books, poetry, classics, non-fiction, history and more in the oodles of boxes filled to the brim with books donated for the Friends of the Atlanta Public Library Annual Book Sale last week from Monday-Saturday at Mattie Lanier Richey Center.
