Who’s the Bookish Dame?
I slept with stacks of books as a baby instead of dolls; was the youngest library card carrier in Beaufort, SC, at 6 yrs. old in 1956; never wanted anything except books for birthdays and Christmas; raided the “little rich girl’s trash can” for her tossed out books and children’s magazines in my Nancy Drew sleuthing days for new reading material; lived in libraries during the summer; and married my first husband on the basis that he was a lawyer and read ALOT and understood the value of owning books! Does this tell you anything? Oh, yes…and my parents…their famous last words…”She always has her nose in a book.” I’m Deborah…the bookish dame.

You know who this is! Best book of 2007 Water for Elephants. Check it out. I re-read She’s Come Undone and read for the first time I Know This Much is True-so wonderful. Why didn’t he write more? Your list is wonderfull. If only I had time…………..Now reading “Almost Moon” with your daughter. Yikes. But Lovely Bones is one of my favorites.
