really liked it

A delightful, magical story! I love the idea of a librarian who listened and was then able to suggest a book that would help inspire a person along on their path.

We meet 5 different people who are stuck and are not sure how to move forward. With the help of a seer- like librarian and books, they will receive the impetus to guide them.

Anyone who loves books and libraries will be touched by the magic in this book. This book was the perfect book to read over a busy holiday season.

Many thanks to Diane, whose review led me to this book!!

Antoinette Happy New Year, Lori! It is a lovely little book.


Diane Barnes If you love books and libraries, you have to love this one, Antoinette. I think I may give needle felting a try, it sounds easy enough.


Antoinette I was thinking the same thing, Diane:)
