    I married a librarian . . .

    . . . and funny thing, it all went down just like the advice said. Seriously. We've been married for 9.5 years.

    I just bought a bodice-ripper at the grocery store last night.

    My librarian found it in the bag - and I got a wicked grin . . .

    —Mrs. Librarian
