Librarian's Picks: Books for a Rainy Day

It's been raining in Seattle. That's hardly news for the Pacific Northwest in general and Seattle in particular, especially in winter.

But last Saturday, the city had its 27th consecutive rainy day, just six days short of a record. Then, after a single dry day, the rain resumed...

The wet spell amounted to an opportunity for Nancy Pearl, the Seattle librarian (and action figure inspiration!) who regularly shares her recommended readings. This time, she shares her list of books for a rainy day.
