I don't have any books to recommend, though I am sure there will be many folks posting good titles. I will be following this thread to see what they are! I was the librarian for our guild a year ago. I created three book reviews a month about books in our library, trying to get the books checked out, as we probably have 500 books. It made me sad to know how many books we had and how few were ever checked out. It was really hard knowing we had books that had been dedicated in memory of quilters who had passed on, and many of them had been there ten years, with no evidence they had ever been checked out.
What I am getting at is that this is a good idea, finding out what books are really good before you purchase them. You are one smart librarian!!
