Through the lens of the books in her life, Annie comments on feminism, culture, health, poverty, childhood aspirations, and more. Her notes to The Virgin Suicides and The Time Traveler's Wife feel like classics that are sure to strike a powerful chord. We read her love letters to The Goldfinch and Matilda as well as her snarky break-ups with Fifty Shades of Grey and Dear John. In Dear Fahrenheit 451, she addresses those books directly. Annie Spence, who has a decade of experience as a Midwestern librarian, does this not only at her Michigan library but also at home, for her neighbors, at cocktail parties-everywhere. They remove books that patrons no longer check out, and they put back books they treasure. Librarians spend their lives weeding-not weeds, but books-books that have reached the end of their shelf life both literally and figuratively. St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series).
