It is a pretty great job! Of course, there are days when it's frustrating, like any kind of work, but in general I feel very lucky to be able to be a library assistant.

I hope you enjoy both those books, and I'd love to hear what you think when you've read them. I think my favourite thing about both (although they're otherwise not very similar) is their warmth and humanity. They're very hopeful books, and sometimes that's what you need in a story.
