Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, 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's also about a dysfunctional family and a bit dark. 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). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to learn a little more about the book before you commit:

Hi, Sarah--
I just read your review of The River Between Us (loved it!) and clicked on your profile because you were talking about Richard Peck being from Illinois. Lo and behold, it is Sarah the Librarian from Paris, IL! I had just talked to you via email about a position in ISLMA. I'll have to tell you about my links to Paris!

Hey I read your review of Margaux with an X and noticed that you put Margoux's mom is a tramp. Her mom is not a tramp. Her mom is just an awful mother who basically ignores her daughter, but she's not a tramp.

I read your comment on Inkdeath. Do you really want to see the movie? Just from the trailer it seems nothing like the book. I always find it hard to see a good book butchered. I was just wondering how you can handle it. Did you see what they did to C. Funke's book the Theif Lord in the movie, my daughter got mad. Well I was just interested in your thoughts. Thanks

Hi Sarah,

Saw you graduated from Mizzou. I just started the MLIS program there, and am taking my F2F at UN-Omaha. Any classes to make sure I take? Avoid? Who are the best instructors? Are you working in a library?

Hi Sarah,
I found your review of "Skim" and wanted to connect with you. I work as a youth services librarian and also write a mock newbery blog - come visit at http://anokaberry.blogspot.com/
I appreciated "Skim" for the insights - with humor! - into the lives of teen girls. Not all, of course, but so many. I loved the characters and the dialogue and the richness of the drawings.

Hi Sarah,
I had come across your review of Octavian Nothing Traitor to the Nation Vol.I and found if distressing. I am just a regular person, not one of those importants you spoke of offending, and still I am drawn to the idea that maybe you didn't allow yourself or the book the opportunity to touch you. If you allow yourself to think pleasent thoughts, the language and candor of the book becomes second nature and you can start to expierience the story in a whole new way.
I too had a hard time enjoying this book at first, but I allowed myself time to just sit and listen while doing nothing else and the book took over. I can see why this book recieved the awards it did because of it. I am eagerly awaiting Volume II and I hope that you can try and re-listen to Octavian's story all the way through. He was truely touching towards the end and I was deeply moved by even just this half of his story. His was truely an astonishing life, and I hope that you can find the time to enjoy it, as I did.

Good Luck,
Rebecca

Hi, Sarah,

I noticed that you too reviewed "Life at These Speeds." I agree that this is one of the few respectable pieces of running-related fiction out there.
