Today's guest is Annie Spence, author of Dear Fahrenheit 45: Love and Hate in the Stacks, a collection of breakup notes and love letters to books she encounters in her day-to-day as a public librarian.
This week Anne learns all about how Annie became a public librarian. They also discuss the difficulty of recommending books when you’re in a HUGE reading slump yourself, bizarre nonfiction, and seasonal reading patterns.

Anne's second book, a collection of essays about the reading life, comes out in September 2018, and it's very likely there will be more WSIRN liveshows coming YOUR way! If there's anywhere you'd love Anne to visit, email our producer Brenna at brenna@modernmrsdarcy.com.
