Phaedra Patrick has written a mystery that's also a romance, or perhaps a romance that's also a mystery, The Messy Lives of Book People (a title after my own heart). Forty-something Liv cleans for extra cash needed to keep her family going and her sons at the university, while her husband, Jake, tries to keep his family's printing business from going under. One of Liv's clients is a mystery writer; her novels have sustained Liv through hard times. If you've ever wanted to have a different life or to meet someone you've idolized, this is a great novel to enjoy.

What I’m ReadingI began working in libraries as a seventh grader, courtesy of scoliosis. My orthopedic surgeon wrote me a pass to miss gym class, so I began working in the school library to feed my love of reading. Even after my surgery to correct the curvature, I kept getting out of gym to work in my high school library and then in my college library (for pay, at last!).
So began my eventual career as a college reference librarian—after a detour into teaching high school English. Later I worked for an educational publisher before going back to libraries.
I have a reading and writing life now. I devour both fiction and nonfiction, and will tell you about some of my favorite reads, both old friends and new discoveries.
Here's some library-themed music to get you in the mood.
