Happy Holidays everyone. Sorry I havent been posting much lately. My family and I have been very busy with the holiday season. We did not go to the north pole attractions this year as covid has shut down some of their attractions (staffing problems) and others were severely limited capacity. We also did not feel it safe to go to big events with all thats going on covid mutations. We are vaccinated, my wife and I have had the booster shot. the older two are now fully vaccinated and the younger two have one more shot to go. But all things considered my wife and I are erring on the side of caution.

Many in my neighborhood are looking towards books, movies and board games just in case things get shut down again. My wife and I decided it was that time again to clear out our family library. the children are now into Harry Potter, Star Wars, Sabrina the teen aged witch, Locke and Key, they are all into disney plus, so its time to get rid of the baby, toddler and young child books and stock our library with teen and up books. the children will also have a new complete reference section.

my wife and I are also getting a new look to our shelves of our home library. This 2 years of covid has helped us get in touch with our creative side, which means more hobby related books, we both also like romance, mysteries, science fiction and of course we are looking forwards to the new DSM 5 TR coming out in March. We have both already pre - ordered our copies along with its companion books. Alot has changed to mental disorder diagnostics, symptoms, definitions, testing and so forth this past 8 years. The DSM 5 has been completely re-wrote, new disorders added old disorders removed. My wife and I have followed the process over the years and cant wait to see the finished product.
