I do the same thing, how funny, huh? I am always in the young adult book area, and
just can't help but ask all the kids in there what the book they are looking at is
about. I always ask their favorite book and they usualy give me a short book talk
and a million suggestions. Then, of course, I have to give them my suggestions.
That is the real reason I even go to the bookstore. Fun, fun.

Okay so I am in Borders last night picking up some books for school and some
Christmas gifts and I guess it's the librarian in me, but I am listening
to what
people are looking for. Here are a couple of the conversations.
Couple #1
-"The Golden Compass, I wonder what that is?"
"It's a movie. The churches are protesting it because it is controversial."
"Oh, never heard of it."
Couple #2
"I wonder if they have The kite runner on DVD?
I have to step in and say it has not been released on DVD yet.
"Wasn't there another one?
"Yes, it's called night of a thousand suns and it's right over there."
"Have you read it? Is it any good?"
"Yes, they are both very well written."
"Thanks."
Couple #3
" I would like to find Little Women and the Black Stallion but I don't know
where to look because I don't know how they have things arranged here."
"Let's just look around."
In my browsing I come across Little Women and tell them that I am sorry
to eavesdrop but here is the book that they are looking for.
"It's so thick and there is more than one kind."
I continue shopping and find Black Stallion so I offer that to them.
"This is great. How do you find everything?"
"I guess it's because I'm a librarian and I am used to helping people find
books."
"Thank you, we were so lucky to find a librarian doing her Christmas
shopping"
I think-Yes you were.
