I’ve started reading a contemporary romance series by Sarah Adams that rests on Audrey Hepburn movies to depict the romances of a family of three grown sisters and one brother in Rome, Kentucky. So the first one, concerning the love between the pie baker brother and a pop star, is entitled When in Rome, and alludes to Audrey Hepburn’s first film, Roman Holiday. The second Hepburn film referenced is Breakfast at Tiffany’s, in the novel Practice Makes Perfect, which details the love of the youngest of the family, who owns a flower shop, and a bodyguard from the famous pop star of the first novel. That's them on the cover, and yes, he has floral tattoos, the meaning of which is revealed in the story.

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.
