I am a librarian on Long Island and I love to read. My Shelfari includes books I have read and would recommend. I hope you enjoy them too.

    Elizabeth-I finally read the ARC you gave me a while ago...My Most Excellent Year. I think that was the sweetest book I ever read. It was just a nice story. I kept waiting for something horrible to happen in order for there to be conflict, but I was happily surprised by the "Mary Poppins-ness" of it all. Thanks for the recommendation. Laura

    I just finished reading a book called The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. It's a story narrated by the family dog, a lab mix named Enzo. It's a light, easy read but I laughed and cried so it was not without its impact.

    I just started reading The Beach House this evening and devoured the first eight chapters before I had to pry myself away and do some housework. I have read almost all of Jane Green's books. There is one that I think I skipped out of the bunch. I really love the setting of this story and I wish I was there right now!

    I see you are reading The Beach House. I am planning on reading it also as soon as I finish the book I'm reading now, so we'll have to compare notes! Have you read all of Jane Green's other books?

    I am in awe of how quickly you read. It is taking me a month to get through my current three books. You'll have to tell me how Andre Dubus III's new book is. House of Sand and Fog blew my socks off but not sure I can stomach another tragedy-fest right now. Also, I can lend you Maira Kalman's Principles of Uncertainty... got it for my bday!

    nope, can't read it - I just saw an ad for all four of her books, in matching pastel covers. Ew. Yes, I'm judging a book by its cover....

    then you should love a movie if they ever make one, since they usually only focus on the beginning and end of a book!

    Thanks-that's Melvin. I made him from clay and recycled parts. Unfortunately he fell apart recently, so I'm using his photo to remember him.

    Wow! If these are only your FAVORITES, then you must read a LOT of books! =) Thinking of you lately - hope everything is going okay. Tuesdays aren't the same without you, my dear. Let me know if I can do anything for you...

    Hi there-- thanks for adding me to your friends! My kids love The Stinky Cheese Man. Have you seen "17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore"? Also a great one :)

    Hi Lilbookperson! I used to be a library worker myself (in college-- not an actual librarian!) and I see you've got a great shelf full of interesting-looking new books. I will be checking out your new activity for reading suggestions!

    I really enjoyed Speak Softly She Can Hear - it wasn't that it had a lot of suprises, but it kept you in the moment that you wanted to keep reading to find out what really happens to Carole at the end. Try it!

    Another book to add to my list.
    It's nice to find another Whirligig fan. I didn't think it was sad, but is a wonderful story of redemption.

    I thought I was the only person who liked Whirligig!

    Nice to see you here. Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant looks like my kind of book!
