Melissa got a job with the library up north, which probably made them very happy because of her general awesomeness. <br /><br />I wish I could remember but there were so many. I think Dragon of the Inland Sea by Lawrence Yep was one of them that I found to be insanely awesome. I remember one recommendation that didn't work for me -- Goldengrove by Jill Paton Walsh. When she made the recommendation, I was nuts about Dominic and Half-Magic and So You Want To Be a Wizard at the time, so I was disappointed that this novel was about boring people. Fortunately she cheered me up with more fantasy. I think she played a background role as a Vulcan in a Star Trek movie so we kind of thought alike.Melinda R.

The library used to be very small, so in the late '80's, when they were expanding and were going to be closed for a bunch of months (which to me seemed FOREVER) she let me take home a big stack of books to get me through the long wait! So I like her a ton.Melinda R. Cordellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924404257237523106noreply@blogger.com
