The Dewey Decimal System of Love
Ratings5
Average rating2.4
Behind a french twist and sensible clothes, forty-year-old librarian Alison Sheffield hides an extravagant nature. But after last night, even her most proper attire can't disguise the signs-the pink cheeks, the extra-poufy hair, the bounce in her step. Alison Sheffield is in love.
The heart-palpitating, nausea-inducing, silly, inexplicable, absurd and pointless kind of love found in a romance novel. And for once in her life, what Alison needs to know she can't find in any reference book-she can only live it...

The title is cheesy yes I know. As my star rating says...it was ok. I identified with Ally in some ways, but it other ways I thought she was a bit off her rocker. I predicted the ending to this book about half way through. Maybe I've read too many chick lit novels? Haha...probably. Oh well, at least I don't own this one. I borrowed it from my sister.
C'mon. I can't be expected to judge this
book fairly. Give me a break. The book is set in a library. The
main character (as well as most of the other characters in the book)
is a librarian. The author, for heaven's sake, dedicates the book to
her mother, “the paragon of a passionate librarian”; in the
acknowledgements, the author encourages her readers to “continue to
honor the extraordinary literary heritage found in our free library
system and the librarians who help us discover its enduring wealth”.
If you are a librarian, you can't help but love this book. File this
book under 020 for Libraries, 306.7 for Romance.
