The Dewey Decimal System of Love For questions about the science of the heart and how it beats, go to the 616.12’s and for questions about the philosophy of the heart, go to the 700.4’s [ms. pg 223] Ally Skinner doesn’t fall into any category… Forget those stereotypes about librarians. With long auburn hair and perfect skin, Ally looks half her age of forty. And even though she’s been celibate for fifteen years, she doesn’t live a monastic life. Ally enjoys the finer things, like her zippy convertible, ice-cold martinis, classical music, and her sensuously appointed apartment. However, like any good librarian, Ally is discreet in public—and hides her extravagant nature behind a French twist and sensible clothes. But after last night, even her most proper attire can’t hide the signs—the pink cheeks, the extra-poufy hair, the bounce in her step. Ally Skinner is in love. The heart-palpitating, nausea-inducing, silly, inexplicable, absurd and pointless kind of love found in a romance novel. And for once in her life, what Ally needs to know she can’t find in any book—she can only live it…
