Hi,
Another doozie for all of you. My patron read a book in the 1960's about a
dog and a wolf who befriend each other. Does this ring a bell with any of
you?
Thanks,
Patricia

Subject: RE: Escape to Montana
I remembered reading this for our Book Club in December 1999. It's not
Montana, but it deals with a woman who lives her hectic city life to live in
her mother's cabin up the mountain in West Virginia. She slowly adjusts to
the slower pace. The book is "Bingo night at the Fire Hall" by Barbara
Holland. A very easy and fun read.

Subject: Re: fiction_l-digest V1 #1081: Book about escaping to Montana
Dear Mary Ann,
I really enjoyed reading Bean Blossom Dreams : A City Family's Search for a Simple Country Life, by Sallyann Murphey. While not about Montana, it is about a couple on the fast track in their careers who decide to leave it all and move to Bean Blossom farm, in the hills of southern Indiana. Written by Mrs. Murphy, it is really a memoir of adapting to a new life and learning the simple pleasures of daily contact with the community and environment (she quotes the Shaker poem, Simple Gifts, in the dedication at the beginning of the book.

Subject: Re: An author question about romance book acquisitions
I order the paperback romances for our library. I mainly order from a list of those authors whose books we already have. I would find a new author to add from the RITA award list or because of a patron suggestion or a review or looking at the romances available in the mass market stores. A RITA award would persuade me to read a romance, but not necessarily to buy it for the library. Our criteria for adding a romance paperback author is that the author must have written several books and still be publishing romances (because if patrons like an author, they always want more).

the leaves fell from the tree outside her window. Every day she would watch

Hi,
Don't know about a story like this but there is an old Kenny Roberts (not
Kenny "the gambler" Rogers) song called "Tying the Leaves" that has this
same story line (only the people involved were children.)
Hmmmm.

Yes. This is an O'Henry story. It was made into a movie which was included
with 2 or 3 other O'Henry stories. It's about 2 sisters, one of whom is very
ill. A painter lives in or near the building (it's the dead of winter). The
ill sister is convinced she will die when the last leaf falls from the tree
(or vine) outside her window. The painter risks (and loses) his life in his
(successful) efforts to paint the leaf onto the wall outside the window. The
sister sees the leaf and lives. The painter is found dead. I believe the
movie version of the story is called THE LAST LEAF. I checked, and that is
the title of the original story, as well. The painter's name is Mr. Behrmann.

Just thought of two more.....WEST OF VENUS by Judy Troy and THE END OF

that no one could guess what's in the book/what it's about from the title.
Gregory Maguire's juv title SIX HAUNTED HAIRDOS is part of a hilarious
series that starts with SEVEN SPIDERS SPINNING.

Subject: Re: An author question about romance book acquisitions
A RITA award is wonderful, but occasionally the books go out of print by
the time the RITAs are announced, which makes me mad. I think I'm going to
start buying all of the nominated books, too. I read Romantic Times and order
80 romance paperbacks each month for my medium-sized public library, serving a
population of 29,000. I order based on reviews, but buy popular authors
regardless of review. We also have a paperback bestseller
collection and buy multiple copies of the New York Times bestsellers.
Hope this helps.

I am looking for a short story. I thought it was called The Green Door and it was written by O. Henry, but...
What I remember is this: A man is looking for an apartment that is described as having a green door. (I forget why he is looking for it.) He goes in to an apartment building and sees one apartment that has a green door. He thinks this is the place he is looking for, but he ends up saving the life of a girl in the room who is about to commit suicide. (I think.) When he goes back the next day, all of the apartments have green doors.
Ring any bells?

Not sure this is special as I believe others have done the same. We are

the discussion, has been signed up on a Harry Potter listserv for more

check with her when I return from PLA and have her send you the listserv

doesn't send it to before me. Just let me know.

Hello
Please forgive if this has already been posted. I think I sent it to the

Patron is looking for a non-fiction book about the basketball scandal of the
1950 NCAA tournament where some players from CCNY were accused of shaving
points. He has already seen "Basketball Scandal" which is fiction, and it
not what he wants. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

We just had a Harry Potter book discussion. Since our children's

was very successful and the kids were great. After my part of the
program, the children's librarian played some games she found on the
Scholastic web site (I think) and even the sophisticated 8th graders got
into the spirit of things.
