In the company of readers

Reading this blog made me remember how much fun it was to work with all of you back at PPL! Amy in particular was such a great source of recommendations - I remember devouring Cold Sassy Tree after she recommended it, and then sharing it with lots of friends and family. My "new" library is a lot of fun in many ways, but we don't have the same spirited discussions about books that I remember from PPL...or maybe its just that as Director I'm not interacting with the librarians in the same way.

Anyway, thanks to Amy I went straight to our fiction section yesterday and checked out Stern Men (I thought the title meant that they were serious, but my husband Don who is from Maine straightened me out and told me to pronounce it correctly as one word!). I started it last night, am already loving it, and told Don he has to read it too.

Thanks also Mary for a great list of things to try!
