And oh was it....



I'm currently reading THE BOOK OF ILLUMINATION by Mary Ann Winkowski. This is 1st of 2 in series featuring Anza O'Malley, who can see ghosts in present day Boston. Here is a description:




Anza O'Malley is in most ways a typical single mom. She lives a happy, busy life with her five-year-old son in Cambridge, Massachusetts, juggling the joys and challenges of life as a doting parent and a freelance bookbinder. But there is more to Anza than meets the "ungifted" eye: she can see and speak with ghosts. Although she's been solving cold cases for the police for years, Anza has been hoping to focus her energies on her son and her bookbinding career. But when an exquisite and priceless illuminated manuscript is stolen from the Boston Athenaeum, and when its desecration spurs the appearance of some very unhappy spirits, Anza can neither look nor walk away. With an unlikely trio of ghosts by her side–a charming butler and two medieval monks–Anza leads us on an urgent journey through Boston's winding, cobbled streets to uncover a trail of deceit, danger, and ghoulish intrigue.

It was published in 2009 and has 320 pages. This is a library book. The author is a paranormal investigator who has collaborated closely with several federal agencies and is the high-profile consultant for the CBS series The Ghost Whisperer.

Work was busy today. We had four people gone from our collection crew so I answered the phones a lot. Last Friday I had taken 36 calls. That's a regular day for the vets so I'm at the right volume now at least. I only had to ask a handful of questions.


Steve has another orientation/board meeting tonight. I'm cleaning out mail and then will read for a bit before bed. Gotta elevate the ankle again.


Much love,
