    I’d Mary Anna Evans book, The Physicist’s Daughter. Also, Laura Jensen Walker has a new book coming out, Death of a Flying Nightingale, about WWII air ambulance nurses in England.

About Me

Welcome! I started my career as a children’s librarian, later becoming a public library director and now I’m a stay at home mom. While my career might have changed, my love of reading has been a constant since I was in 4th grade, and I read over 200 books a year. I love talking about books and connecting readers of all ages with just the right book. Thanks for reading!
