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!

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. I read The Girl Who Played With Fire and it is every bit as good as the first book. I have not read the 3rd in the trilogy yet.

    I see you are reading The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. I will be interested in hearing your thoughts, as I went "against the flow" not finding near as good as most readers.

    Do let us know how you like Hannah's List. I have it on my want-to-read list; I just haven't gotten to it yet. I've heard it's different than most of Macomber's books.

    Historical fiction is probably my fav genre. I enjoy the combination of real events mixed in w/fictional characters.

    Sorry you didn't love The Book Thief as much as I did. (I gave it 5 stars.) I thought it was a different approach to telling yet another heartbreaking story of the Holocaust. Liesel will always live in my mind as will her stepfather Hans.

    Amanda I read and loved The Last Song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Will WTOC have a book discussion on this?

    Hi Amanda. I had no idea that WTOC had a bookclub. I just saw your note about The Help. I live in Savalnnah and absolutely love to talk 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!
