Apparently, I'm throwing out all the rules and fourteen favorites wasn’t enough for 2015! I'm a rebel, like that. Actually, I’m as surprised as you might be, but when I started looking back at my favorites and saw how many of them were debut authors I decided they needed a post of their own. I hadn't thought about it, but I read a lot of debut authors. A lot of GREAT debut ... Read More...
Favorite Books of 2015
This year has been a reading rollercoaster—exciting highs mixed with ho-hum lows. No sooner was I soaring from some fantastic piece of fiction than I was shutting a book after 100 pages because ‘life is too short’ to keep reading something that isn’t holding my interest or is poorly written. Now, as it comes to a close, I’ve corralled the reading I love into lists. Today is ... Read More...

I’m not sure if I’ve done this before at The Gilmore Guide but I’m going to break from books and share something personal—a holiday story.

If anyone asks, you’re working on gift ideas (nudge nudge, wink ... Read More...
It’s Monday, October 12th: What are You Reading?
Despite the wacky weather in certain parts of the country (I’m looking at my Utah friends who are having temps in the mid-eighties), this Monday finds Seattle moving firmly into fall, which means we’re finally starting to get some rain and the grass is getting green again. An odd thing to hear if you don’t live in the Pacific Northwest because in most other places grass is ... Read More...
It’s Monday, September 28th: What Are You Reading?
It’s the first Monday of fall, which means we are heading into prime curl-up-with-a-book weather. At least for me. There is something about cooler days that makes me want to immerse myself in a book. How about you? Is this the beginning of reading weather or do you have fall activities that keep you busy? If you do have time for reading, what are you reading now? Our house is ... Read More...
