I’m not sure I remember a time when it was so hard to think about reading, but the past two weeks have been hectic enough that I’m mentally and physically frazzled. Last week was my first trip to Ann Arbor—touring neighborhoods and looking at houses. While parts of it were fun (so much good food!) house hunting is exhausting—and it’s only beginning. All of which means focusing ... Read More...
Thrilling Reading: Mini-Reviews
Sometimes the mood strikes for thrilling reading. It’s not a genre I look to often, but in the beginning of the year it felt like the only kind of reading that satisfied me. Maybe because if it’s done right it can be great reading without being great? I’m not sure, but I tore through these two novels even when a part of my brain was thinking ‘Really?’.

I'm happily ensconced in Seattle with 40 degrees and sunshine, but cringe looking at the weather station, knowing that this time next year I'll huddled inside in Ann Arbor, cursing the cold. Let's try and forget the weather and talk books! ... Read More...
Winter 2019 Books I’m Ready to Read
Week one back in the real world! How is everyone holding up after the holidays? Once again, I had a quiet time of it which was welcome considering what lies ahead in 2019. Nothing bad, just change. What hasn't changed is that I'm ready to get back to review reading. I enjoyed my time off in December when I read backlist books from the library (it was divine!), but now it's time ... Read More...
