These days it seems it’s harder and harder to get anyone to agree on anything so why should books be any different? What is different is that we’re nicer people so sometimes I’m able to admit—It’s Not You, It’s Me when I don’t like a book. In this case, one book left me puzzled and emotionless and the other was a case of timing—American dystopia feels like non-fiction these ... Read More...
Quiet Summer Reading: The Verdun Affair
Last week I started this little feature for books that don't quite fit in the normal summer reading mold. This week's pick is still a quiet character study, but about a devastating time in history. I have read many, many novels about World War II, but very few about World War I. That, plus a level of ignorance that feels embarrassing means I didn’t know that in ... Read More...

The good news is that I got to attend two great book events—Madeline Miller was here to discuss Circe (which is my favorite novel of the year so far) and Georgia Hunter gave a wonderful presentation about the facts behind her wonderful historical novel, We Were the ...

9 Books for Fun Summer Reading
The first official day of summer is Thursday so what better way to kick it off then having your summer reading lined up. I never used to think I was a seasonal reader, but this year the only books that are working for me are light, heavy on plot not characters, and fast paced. Humor is also a huge go-to for me. That could mean anything from chick-lit to thrillers. If you like ... Read More...
