BPL Ref
The BPL Bookblog reviewers include: Laura, who likes a bit of a thrill but who also loves a good story; Christy H. who often likes a walk on the spooky side; Kristin, the Eclectic Bibliophile who can help you find the perfect book; and Jeanne. When we figure out what she does, we'll let you know. BBL stands for "Bookblog of the Bristol Library." It also stands for "Be Back Later"-- as in, "Be back later, we're reading."
