My childhood dream was to have a library just like Belle's in Beauty and the Beast. It's still my dream now. :)

    Hi Pat-- I just signed up for Shelfari last week to try to get the word out about my novel, and since you just joined the "chick lit" group I thought I'd drop you a note. My book, “Perfect on Paper,” is about a single woman in San Francisco whose life is hardly perfect. Anyhow, I thought you might want to check it out. I know it's a bit crazy to contact you directly about it since I don’t know you, but I figured why not? I have to start somewhere to get word-of-mouth going outside of my own friends, and it’s obvious you like to read! 122 titles- wow!

    Bye,

    Maria Murnane
