    This title has been really popular at my branch recently. Great job summarizing it, it sounds wonderful . I've never read anything from Sandra Brown before. Your characteristics also really help flesh out the summary. Great job and full points!

Still Born.

Yesterday, I was contacted by an old friend that wanted to ask a sensitive question of me.  I'd like to think that I'm an open book and I said yes without hesitation, just interest. The friend wanted to know about my stillborn Caleb because she'd just learned that her niece had miscarried twins.  She wanted to know what my advice was on walking through that experience and if I had any tips or regrets on things to do. I can't have those conversations without tears, but it's not painful in the way you might think. When driving away from the hospital after Caleb had been released to the funeral home, I was broken, but a couple things were clear... ....telling my husband that this event wasn't allowed to tear us up because I wasn't willing to lose any part of a relationship after losing a baby. .... feeling completely empty because you spend months carrying a baby and then it's just gone.  In late-term pregnancy, everyone can tell you're expecting

Dating with kids

 I'm getting in the shower this morning and I'm hit with the weirdest old thought process...  What's better: a divorce or a death? Sharing kids with an ex or having sole discretion? I'm not delving into that today, but I'm in the weirdest situation in my marriage.  It's hilarious. Lots of people live in separate places through the course of their relationships.  I never thought that'd be my reality, but Surprise!  Mine turned out to be like that. After months of him staying in hotels, he got his own place.  There's more to it than that, but that's the boil down.  Now, we're in this cool situation where we see each other about 1/2 the week and trying to carve out time for togetherness is now a challenge again; at the very least, it has to involve intention... that is actually something everyone could benefit from.  I hate it.  My first husband died and we were rarely separate... I never thought I'd be alone. Then I went through the whole datin

Young Adult, New Adult, Graphic Novels... Can't we just be normal?

No. The simple and truthful answer is NO. Literature is art.  Literature is beautiful and diverse and nuanced.  If this class has brought anything to resounding light it is that the many genres have common elements, but are diverse in nature and appeal to different people in different ways. That is beautiful. Much like every snowflake is different, every written work offers something new (even ding-dong Twilight that was then changed up to 50 Shades of Grey that was then twisted into the eye-twitching Crossfire series by Sylvia Day-- yes, I said it.). I can reference the ALA Library Bill of Rights ; I can talk about the Freedom to Read statement , but I don't have to.  These documents back up what my mentor taught me, "If you know of a couple patrons that would enjoy a title, buy it." What I LOVE about my job is that I get a true hand in shaping my community and stretching their minds.  Not only by purchasing materials that might challenge their beliefs and teac
