Congrats on starting your blog. I agree that a critical piece of the Reader's Advisory function is to understand something of the reader's personal history. Many adults use reading to grapple with things in their lives, and so the RA takes on the role as a light-weight therapist. This entails additional ethical obligations that I don't think are typically recognized by the professional library associations. Looking forward to your posts! Hi Julie.
