WhyNotTagged?

Well, I didn't get tagged for this one from Jill, but couldn't resist replying since the book that I am reading is "interesting". It was written by Amanda Quick (probably a psuedoname), in 2004. The title of the book is "The Paid Companion". Page 56, line 5: The leather-bound volumes were old and dusty. A narrow, circular staircase studded with wrought iron balusters twisted up to a balcony that was lined with more bookshelves.
