Good bye August and goodbye summer! I complain a fair bit, but here is one thing that I absolutely loved about this summer in Seattle. We only had maybe three days all told when it got above 90°. The majority of the summer was in the mid-70s with dry, sunny days and chilly nights. My kind of weather. I wish I could be as upbeat about my reading, but this year continues to be a ...

Eight Books I Can’t Wait to Read This Fall
Wow. Apparently, this summer is over. September and back-to-school and all those markers heralding fall arrive next week. I wish I had a great book to wrap up my summer Monday reviews, but the high expectations I had for The Resurrection of Joan Ashby crashed and burned so I was left with nothing to review for today. In lieu of my opinion (which can get exhausting, I know), I ... Read More...
It’s Not You, It’s Me: Mini-Reviews
Plausibility is a subjective concept, especially in reading. There are premises, plots, and characters in novels I love that make other readers put the book down.

It’s Monday, August 21st: What Are You Reading?

Not the mystical end-of-world things, but that in the natural world it causes birds and other nocturnal animals to begin their preparations for sleep and that ... Read More...
It’s Monday, August 7th: What Are You Reading?
Hello, Monday! Once again, I’ve gone with a photo that represents where I’d like to be reading. For whatever reason I have always wanted a hammock, but none of the houses I’ve ever lived in had hammock-friendly backyards. My reading seems to be falling along those lines—wanting something I don’t have or can’t find. I’m heading back to historical fiction this Monday because it ... Read More...
July Reading Wrap-Up
First of all, isn’t that photo dreamy? I could lie there all day reading. Of course, that would mean I had a month’s worth of books I couldn’t put down, which, based on my Friday post, was not the case. I read 14 books in July, but only because three of them were DNFs. For a booklover this is a very sad state of affairs. Except that two July books were 5 star worthy ... Read More...
