I'm a reference librarian at the Twinsburg Public Library. I'll read just about anything, but my favorite genres are chick lit, suspense, literary novels, fantasy/science fiction, memoir, gender/relationship studies, essays, and short stories.

    Put a copy specific hold on mine and you can keep it as long as you need. You can tank it out in an afternoon.

    You should read Scandal Sheet by Gemma Halliday (I will warn you that the cover of the book has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT, so it's not a cheesey Harlequin, even though it looks like it). It's the new series from the author of the "High Heels" mysteries. Plus, there's a part in the middle that totally reminded me of you and I almost spit out my juice.

    Hi Cari! My husband found your blog recording where you mentioned my upcoming novel AS IT WAS WRITTEN, and I discovered that you are the Twinsburg librarian I friended on Shelfari! The internet is an amazing thing. Thanks for talking about my book, and I can promise you I never saw the movie or read a book with the curse, so I promise mine will be different. I wanted to let you know I have just started a blog where I discuss this book and the one I am writing now, the literary process and other things at random. I'd love to see you there.

    I tried to make a comment there, but it wouldn't let me. It wouldn't show the visual verification so I wasn't able to send it to you as a blog comment. I was so happy to hear you and your friend excited about the premise of my upcomng novel. I look forward to meeting you one day.

    Thanks so much...cb1281! I really do hope you like my book, please let me know if you do and SAY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING if you don't. I am working on one right now, a very different story which I hope to have done in several months, rather than years. We'll see what happens with that one. If you like my book, please spread the love! They only let you publish if you sell, unfortunately, so I'll do whatever I need to do to sell in Twinsburg. if you throw a party and invite me up, I'll come, I'll read, I'll sign, I'll sing and I'll dance and I'll tell story after story. Thanks so much for publically acknowledging my debut novel. I really appreciate it. And I am not kidding, you throw a book party, I'm there! May our paths cross in person one day.

    I'm only about 100 pages into The Help but I really like it. It took me all this time to get it :)

    My boss's 15 year old daughter recommended Thirteen Reasons Why, and she's got a good track records on recommendations. She gave me Coraline a year or so ago and it was amazing. So many books I want to read and so many people giving me books like an agent just gave me a bio on Robert E. Lee and a co-worker gave me Life of Pi. Did Katherine give any interesting tidbits about Deliverance Dane or hints on future books?

    That sounds like it could be a lot of fun and very interesting. Let me know how that chat goes.

    Getting the kids to sign up for a skype chat with a YA author is on my list of projects. I'll let you know how The Help is. I should probably reserve it now :)

    Everyone I've talked to about that book raves about it. I will have to check it out. I have it in the school's library. How is the sequel? Did you finish it already? I preordered that for the school and am waiting for it.

    I'm in a reading rut. I picked it up a couple of times but then put it down. I have a whole pile I've done that with. It does look really good though. Do you recommend anything?

    What did you think of Shelf Discovery?

    I just finished Retail Hell. I picked up the galley at BEA and it was one of the funniest memoirs I've ever read. It is along the lines of Waiter Rant or Free for All - an insider's view to working retail. You have to add it to your TBR pile!

    I see you finished In the Land of Invented Languages while I was away on vacation. What'd you think?

    I live pretty close to NYC so I only go when it is there. Sometimes if ALA is in Philadelphia I'll drive down for the day. Those shows are so expensive and my school won't pay for me to go either.

    I would love for you to read my books, FROM THUNDER TO BREAKFAST (Hube Yates stories), WIDOWHOOD HAPPENS and THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT CAVE CREEK (It's The People). They are all nonfiction — pleasant, often humorous, sometimes historic, personal, and about fascinating characters. You know where to find them.
    A good place to become acquainted with me is on www.auhorsden.com/ggarrison.

    Keep on reading!

    If your'e doing more Stephen King - I woudl suggest Lisey's Story. I think you're more inclined to read the somewhat magical/supernatural versions than the scary stuff - so that one, Insomnia, and his alter ego's Talisman would probably suit you admirably!
