Laurie C

I'm a librarian in Massachusetts who loves to give reading suggestions, whether asked-for or not -- a specialty known in library jargon as "reader's advisory". I read a lot -- mostly literary and genre fiction for adults and young adults, but also short stories and memoirs. I also listen to a lot of audiobooks! Newish favorites include Tayari Jones, Laurie Frankel, Joshua Henkin, Jennifer Egan, Laurie R. King, Lionel Shriver, Carolyn Parkhurst, Penny Vincenzi, Michael Connelly, Alexander McCall Smith, Patrick Rothfuss, Martha Southgate, Jennifer Haigh, Michael Connelly, and Louise Penny. Some longer-time favorites are Sue Miller, Lorrie Moore, Anne Tyler, Ann Patchett, Roland Merullo, Ian McEwan, Susan Howatch, Lynne Sharon Schwartz, Laurie Colwin, and Connie Willis. I'm on Twitter as @baystateRA (book blogger stuff) and @lacavanaugh (personal and library-related stuff).
