…Hurray for Consumer Reports. In its May 2013 issue article “101 Secrets from Our Experts” it promotes the Public Library as an overlooked resource more people should take advantage of to help fulfill their research needs.  CR mentions the databases offered by libraries as well as help from actual people: librarians.

To piggyback on Lillian’s review of Joanne Trollope’s novel “The Other Family,” I just finished listening to Jane Green’s audio book “Family Pictures.” Two women are unknowingly married to the same man. When the husband can no longer continue his charade, the lives of both women fall apart.  The connections of their two families and how they rebuild their lives have, perhaps, too many coincidences, but life is stranger than fiction and who’s to say it couldn’t happen? An entertaining listen combining tragedy, snobbery and romance.
