Left Neglected by Lisa Genova

January 2011

LEFT NEGLECTED is by Lisa Genova, who many of you will remember as the author of STILL ALICE,a favorite book of mine from two years ago.

Here I have had a chance to meet many new authors and catch up with ones I already know, as well as chat with librarians from around the country. The enthusiasm of this group always energizes me. Last night, I was at dinner with five librarians, and we bantered about books and authors all evening.
