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?
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.

And then watch it get blown to pieces as company representatives pitch you what they want to sell. In the case of BEA the companies are publishers and the reps are publicists and boy, are they good at their jobs. I went into BEA with a lean list of 15 galleys I ... Read More...
BEA: The People
Hello, kittens! Sorry for the delay in writing. I have lots of excuses, but let’s just go with: the trip to BEA was so fabulous it left my head spinning and I’ve only now gotten myself pulled together enough to write. That’s not far from the truth because to say it was marvelous is an understatement. I have loads to share so am going to keep it simple today and talk about my ... Read More...
