I have worked at the same public library for over 25 years, and have no plans to retire yet; there's too much left to read! I have been keeping track of the books I read since 1996. In addition to reading, I enjoy playing piano (classical/show tunes/church music), playing handbells, quilting, going to the opera and theater, and... more »

    Hi Ellen! Although my shelf would make it seem so, I am actually not a children's librarian (I'm a circulation librarian, audiobook librarian, and cataloger--we're a small staff!). I just really like many young adult titles, particularly in the horror and historical fiction genres. I also find it handy for readers' advisory to know a bit about YA and children's books.

    I'm a big fiction reader, and I tend to enjoy literary fiction, historical fiction, and mysteries. Travel memoirs, theatre, language, belles lettres and history are the topics I enjoy most in nonfiction. I'll be sure to run through your shelf for some ideas! :)

    I've found Shelfari to be an excellent RA tool--I've shown some regular patrons my account when they ask what I've read recently. It's very interactive, they get a visual, and they can also see my review. What are your thoughts? I'd be interested to hear them!

    Thanks so much. I sent her a note!
    I hope my students like Shelfari as much as I do!

    Hello-
    I am a middle school teacher in central Illinois. I was wondering if you knew any teachers that used Shelfari in the classroom to get their students excited about literature? I have found some groups, but most are blocked so I can't sent the teacher a message. I am especially interested in the types of problems teachers encountered with Shelfari. Thanks for any help you can give me!

    Found a new series of quirky mysteries that I like. The author is Peter Tremayne, a prominent authoriey on ancient Celts. and the series consists of mysteries of ancient Ireland. Features Sister Fidelima, a smart lawyer of the seventh century. Got your interest? Has exciting plot twists and satisfying solutions. Just finished The Leper's Bell and will be tackling A Prayer for the Damned.

    I like Fae Kellerman but am reading the Laura Joh Rowland books bout a samauri detective in the 16th century. I like quirky detectives from different countries and different ages. Any suggestions? (I read all the Brother Cadfael books and loved them.)

    Mom, what is the name of that book about a singer, her reclusive brother with something like 9 TV's in his apartment, and the housekeeper? I was going to add it to my shelf but I can't remember what it's called!! Thanks! :)
