The Wild Librarian

"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians." --Gorilla Librarian sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus TV Show, Episode 10

Book of the Week: A Gathering of Angels by:Katherine Valentine

This a nice little read. When I was browsing for books at my local library I came across this book. At first I wasn't sure if Id' like this book. I tend to stray from religious based fiction and since it is a sequel I was hesitant to read this out of sequence. I'm glad I decided to read this very enjoyable book. After reading the first chapter I found that I couldn't put it down. I love it when I find a book that creates that childhood excitement.

This book is about a group of nuns and the community they serve in a small Connecticut town called Dorsetville. In the first novel the Daughters of the Immaculate Conception were working on opening a retirement home for priests and nuns. This book focused on the finalization and opening of their retirement home. The author has created a small little community of people that are dynamic and likeable. All throughout the story a series of small miracles linked to a simple blue rosary helped bring the community together. What a great fun book.
