It’s that most magical time of year again for book bloggers—BookExpo America starts today. After an absence of 3 years I’m heading back to BEA this year—mostly because they’re having it in Chicago which is a bit easier to get to from Seattle. Yes, the thought of being surrounded by authors, books, and publicists is exciting enough, but this year is even better. Why? Because the ... Read More...
April Library Checkout
Another month gone?! I'd be more worried if we weren't in the midst of spring here in Seattle. Who can worry when everything is blooming?! April was another slow month for new releases so I was able to continue with a lot of April library checkouts. That's going to change in May because I have a lot of upcoming May release books I want to read AND I'll be going to BookExpo ... Read More...
It’s Not You, It’s Me: Commitment Issues

My March library reading seems to seal the deal. I’m not sure why this is, but an early analysis makes it clear that either 2016 is going to be a slow year for GREAT ... Read More...
DNF: The Dreaded Did-Not-Finish
Much like the political noise that is sweeping our country right now there is a topic in the bookish world that tends to split itself into party lines. For some it is something they are proud of and shout from the rooftops. For others it is a personal failure and something they’d rather not talk about. I am referring, of course, to the decision not to finish a book or as many ... Read More...
February Library Checkout
Month 2 of 2016 wraps up tomorrow and what a month it’s been. You would think that with this extra day I’d be overflowing with creativity and verve, but instead I’m in some kind of mucky mindset—lots of blah. Thankfully, the same can’t be said for my February library reading! It was a great month for discovering books I might not normally have ... Read More...
