Sounds like the book is like every other librarian book, even if the author appears to make an effort of knowing what working in a library is really like. <BR/><BR/>But then again, what do I know. I am a librarian and have been celibate for a very, very, very, long time, by choice of course. :)Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707745903594756222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628733312371339602.post-48887131063523947102009-02-12T20:55:00.000-04:002009-02-12T20:55:00.000-04:00I think Dannette read this and liked it.I think Dannette read this and liked it.Breannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481062329781223125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628733312371339602.post-60637148594838783142009-02-12T15:45:00.000-04:002009-02-12T15:45:00.000-04:00Yeah, the cover's great and I like the title and t...Yeah, the cover's great and I like the title and the use of the DDC in each chapter, but otherwise it's really not good at all. The author's writing style is flat. The main character is dull and not very likable (even with so much potential as a librarian!). I can see who the romantic lead is going to be, and so far there's nothing endearing about him. I'm fine with having a celibate lead character, but the introduction of it and the bludgeoning of the readers with the fact that she's been celibate that long is awkward. And there are a few things that are just odd and don't quite come off. I might abandon it in another 50 pages.MBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860359505710765392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628733312371339602.post-58332791137801972052009-02-12T14:57:00.000-04:002009-02-12T14:57:00.000-04:00I picked up that book and read it once a few years...I picked up that book and read it once a few years ago based solely on the cover. Except I didn't like that book. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance or something though, would like to hear what you think!Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110470182822628791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628733312371339602.post-4736913819714434242009-02-12T11:29:00.000-04:002009-02-12T11:29:00.000-04:00The cover is awesome!The cover is awesome!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754749628409313759noreply@blogger.com
