After a little bit of phone-tag Liberty surprised me by getting her list to me the same day we spoke. Her enthusiam for the books she loves is really infectious. I read Zazen by Veselka from Red Lemonade and am now indebted to her for that tip. She is also helping this project ricochet around the internet universe via Twitter and for that I thank her immensely. RiverRun's site is here. I also should say that I first came to know about her via Algonquin's Booksellers Rock series which is one of many great things they feature on their blog
