About My Library
Just a collection of a few of the things I've read. I like to think it's a varied collection, but after so many years on this site, I'm beginning to see patterns that I didn't know were there when I started.
Here is my rating system:
5 stars = a classic
4 stars = a really good read
3 stars = some flaws, okay but not great
2 stars = severely flawed
1 star = why did I waste my time?
About Me

I am a retired library director in middle Georgia. Married 41 years, we have one daughter who is also a library director. I didn't plan it that way--is it in your genes?

Four years ago, I became a grandmother for the first time. What an amazing experience.
