I may not have mentioned this, but December was my version of spring break. Not in the jello-shots-sunburn-sleep-on-the-floor way, but in that I read only what I wanted to. It's not a month with a lot of new releases so I spent a lot of time at the library, browsing shelves, and looking at my to-be-read list of recommendations from other bloggers to find backlist books I didn't ...

January Reading Wrap-Up
I feel as if "wrap-up" is the appropriate word both for my January reading and for everyone who is shivering in the Midwest and Northeast. 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.

Before I look forward, though, how about saying goodbye to my 2018 reading? Thanks to book blogger Sarah’s Rock Your Reading Tracker, I now have more data about my reading than I know what to do with. ... Read More...
December Reading Wrap-Up
This post should be subtitled: Library Reading, because 90% of what I read this month was library books. December is slow month for new releases and for someone who reads ‘professionally’ it is like school vacation. Suddenly, instead of having to refer to a spreadsheet to see what I’m supposed to read next I just go to the library and look around for whatever catches my eye. ... Read More...
Best Books of 2018
Once again, I’m one of the last of the bloggers to weigh in on the best books of the year. The great news is that, unlike last year, which was a bleak year for my reading, this year was much better. My ten best books are all from 2018—no backlist! They’re a varied lot, ranging from mythology to miracles to food to marriage. The only constant in the majority of them is humor. ... Read More...
