Good morning, lovely readers! It’s not a normal Monday at The Gilmore Guide to Books because I don’t have a review or a post about what I’m reading or anything to do with books at all. Instead, I’m here to tell you I’m taking a break for a bit. One week, possibly two. I've never done this before (even when I went to Italy for 10 days) so it's scary, but necessary. You all know ...

July Reading Wrap-Up
July has turned out to be a schizo kind of month, both for my reading and for life. On the life side it began with all my energy focused on getting us out of Seattle, into an apartment, and getting Seattle house rented out—all by the end of the month. That all came to a stop and I’ll be in our house until October, but it’s left me discombobulated because Jed had to move now for ... Read More...

It's not a bad thing. In fact, it can be a welcome relief after reading ... Read More...
Stalled: Mini-Reviews
In the past I’ve done a feature called It’s Not You It’s Me to indicate books I didn’t enjoy but that I believe other readers might like. Today is a bit different because in those cases I finished the books. With these three books I stalled out, set the book down and never came back to it. This is likely due to my personal circumstances—namely moving across country with a lot ... Read More...
Summer 2019 Reading Preview (Part 2)
Apparently this summer I have NO self control when it comes to books. I truly believed I would have four picks for today, but found that I had three more July books that fell into the 'look really interesting, but no one's talking about' so I had to add them. For everyone whose TBR is already blowing up, I'm sorry not sorry. Great reading lies ahead! (7/9, Nan A. ... Read More...
