Another try....

I admit it, I let this blog go. I had no idea what I was doing and I abandoned my poor blog! But, a month ago, I started another blog on another topic and I have been posting almost every day. I actually love doing it!

In the last week I have helped many people find things to read. A friend of mine actually said she comes to the library with her "Linda list" (books that I have recommended to her) looking for good reads. While I do post my books to Goodreads.com and write brief reviews there, I thought it would be fun to talk up some of my favorites on here as well. Maybe some unsuspecting soul will stumble upon this blog and find something good to read...then the joy of my job is realized!

Right now, I am on an Adriana Trigianni binge! She is doing a SKYPE interview with our library on January 13, so I am getting pumped! She recently released a nonfiction title: Don't Sing at the Table: Life Lessons from my Grandmothers. (She sent me a signed pre-pub copy!!) It is full of wonderful and heartwarming stories about both her Grandmothers, both originally from Italy. My grandmothers were not Italian, but her stories reminded me of mine and left me with a warm feeling!

I just started reading Fannie Flagg's latest : I Still Dream of You. I have loved all the Fannie Flagg books I have read so far, so I'm sure I will love this one as well.

I almost always have an audio book going in my car...right now I have Louise Penny's A Fatal Grace. This is the second in the Inspector Gamache series. I like the quaint Canadian village of Three Pines in which the story takes place, and the quirky characters are enjoyable as well. Penny's mysteries are like Agatha Christie stories...

With our library getting a system for downloadable books, I have also downloaded a book to my IPhone...Since I am working on many projects currently at work, I picked a good nonfiction title - Creative Project Management by Michael S. Dobson. It is good so far. I am hoping to put his good ideas to work!

That's all for now...Good Reading!
