Happy Monday, librarians!

Apologies for the unexpected radio silence after Wednesday of last week; I fell victim to the seasonal cold monster. I've triumphantly defeated the beast and returned only slightly sniffly to kick off the week with some great news.

A delightful review of THE MARLOW PAPERS is currently traveling all across the U.S. in American Airline's American Way magazine!

"With the screw-tightening verve of a great thriller and the romantic pull of Renaissance poetry, the novel which purports that Marlowe is the true author of William Shakespeare’s legendary oeuvre is a gripping, lyrical, most unlikely page-turner."

Read the super quick review know more.

Flavorwire suckered us in with another one of their bookish listicles, "The Best Fictional Libraries in Pop Culture."

And finally, a couple of snuggly red pandas romping around in the snow!!
