As a Librarian, one of the best things about my job was access to all the latest reading Fin & Ladymaterials; one of the worst things – too many books, not enough time. So I found a sweet little read that didn’t take much time but is packed with a beautiful story. For the nonfiction reader, I’ve chosen a book about the Social Security system. If you’d rather not tackle the Social Security subject, start preparing for the holidays with Gluten-Free Holiday Baking by Ellen Brow, or do a little redecorating with Mike Holmes’ Kitchens & Bathrooms. If you prefer an e-audio book I recommend Fin and Lady by Cathleen Schine. Enjoy!
