27. The Literary Counsellor

I'm Manda. Working for Indigo Books & Music Inc. for almost 8 years has offered me a unique insight into what people like to read, and how much people are willing to divulge to a complete stranger in the pursuit of the perfect book. And so I like to call myself a literary counsellor, since that's what I end up being when you come to my store. I give you the perfect book for when you are depressed, horny, upset, unsure, ecstatic, bored, etc.
