I am definitely over the age of 13 but not quite ready for AARP yet. My career has been in psychiatric nursing for more than 30 years, married more than 36 years, have 2 grown/married daughters, and 3 fabulously wonderful grandchildren. My interests are in psychology, nursing, writing, and reading my daughters' fanfic submissions and romance novels when I just need to escape.

Absolutely lovely! "Books beget books." It makes perfect sense to me.

Very clever. Thanks for sharing.

Response from pdrsj56 (Author of The Books in the Bookcase)

Wow, thank you for taking the time to read it and review.As I started it, it reflected my rather down mood.  As it progressed, it began to reflect many of roles I play within my family, work, and social environments.an aside: There is a humorized/um adult version of this posted in the Live Journal Group: Smut Friday.  The phrase 'books beget books' inspired that Friday's contribution.

My great grandmother was quite Victorian, the family legend states: she would not place books of male and female authors on the same shelf for fear they would have pamphlets. I enjoyed your concept and how well it is written. Thank you.
