Hi Amy.

No, I don't work at the Free Library. I haven't worked at a library in a number of years.

So, it's interesting that although you and I are both second in each other's "Members with ___'s Books," there is virtually no other overlap in our "Members with _____'s Books" lists. I think we both read books with Jewish and/or NYC themes, African American themes, women's/feminist themes, and young adult fiction. I'm trying to read more nonfiction this year, but have only read 4 nonfiction titles since January.

Do you use LC because you are a librarian at the Library of Congress?

Noticed you liked Lovely Bones, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here, as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it also contains a young female narrator struggling with a series of tragic circumstances. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Amazing, small as the number of books you have in the system what we have in commmon. Do you have time to read a lot. I am right now boxing by subject and labeling by box the books I have collected at a downtown condo that I want to consolidate at another house. I am not yet in a position to build shelves, but have identified a location,
