hi! I'm a librarian, so naturally, I love books. I also like to meet new people and find it's a major plus when they, too, like books!

    Dear Amanda: I noticed that you are a librarian. I am an author. I wonder if your library is carrying my book. It's called HUNTING THE KING. It came out in April. The novel revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother die in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother’s death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college. Now an archaeologist, she has been recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to discover whatever or whoever is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As an observant Catholic, she is scared that whatever she finds will have devastating consequences for her faith. There is a wonderful YouTube book trailer well worth watching if you have the chance. If you do get to see, please let me know what you think. Thanks. Peter

    I just noticed your comment! How did I miss that? I love my library. I'm supposed to sit and help people find books but most of the time people don't really need me. I sit next to the best sellers, so I get a pick of the newest stuff. It's great! Thanks!

    I enjoyed the book very much. There were some predictable parts, but it was intriguing. The movie hasn't gotten very good reviews yet, so you might want to read the book first. I'm usually disappointed in the movies, but I watch them anyway - like a bad accident :) You can't turn away.
