Happy Anniversary: 4 Years Later

July 8, 2016

Happy Anniversary

  Tomorrow will be my four-year anniversary with The Gilmore Guide to Books! I’m not sure I thought I would make it this long, but here I am, still reading and writing. Before I do anything else I want to thank all the wonderful booklovers who have been supporting me from the beginning—and the new readers who have joined them. It’s hard to say just how much it means, but ... Read More...

June Reading Wrap-Up

July 1, 2016

june

Hello, lovely bookworms! I know there are are probably only a handful of you not heading out for the long weekend, but I just wanted to quickly wrap-up my June reading because it's been an interesting month. Most of the last week has been streaming the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials and texting madly to my swim/book geek friend Sarah at Sarah's Book Shelves over everything from the ... Read More...

It’s Not You, It’s Me: Mini-Reviews

June 24, 2016

it's

  Happy summer, book lovers! I hope you're all getting to enjoy nice weather, sunshine, and, of course, some great reading. In an effort to help, I'm back with three books that left me thinking It's Not You, It's Me.   If Whitney Terrell’s goal in his novel The Good Lieutenant is to mimic warfare, then he succeeds. The novel opens with the search for ... Read More...

Wealthy Women: Mini-Reviews

June 17, 2016

wealthy women

  You might have thought this was a one-time post, but if so, you don't know me well. I love two things in the reading-for-pure-entertainment genre: wealth and dysfunction so I will always give novels that allude to either a chance. If they can also be about female friendship, even better! This month's choices mash things up in a way that makes for interesting ... Read More...

It’s Monday, June 13th: What are You Reading?

June 13, 2016

monday reading

This picture is only mildly appropriate as Seattle is flipping on an almost daily basis between summer heat and rainy chills (wear shorts? or a sweater?). It might also be a good metaphor for my reading. Somehow, I got a little crazy with the number of books I have to read in June and now I’m blowing hot and cold on almost every one.  So, today this is not only ‘Monday ... Read More...

Reading Synchronicity: The Mind Inside

June 6, 2016

mind inside

  Hello, dear readers. This week is going to have a bit of a theme—not because I consciously planned it that way, but because my reading did. And if my reading had cooperated (all right, if my discipline about writing reviews had cooperated) these reviews would have coincided last month with Mental Health Awareness month. Instead, they’re here now, which is all right ... Read More...
