The Headmaster’s Wife: Giveaway and Review

February 23, 2015

headmasters wife

The Headmaster's wife was one of my favorite book of 2014. Its paperback release is tomorrow so I wanted to remind anyone who might have missed this book what a gorgeous piece of prose it is. Plus, I have 2 copies to giveaway so you could win one to read!   Some books are written with the intent to stun a reader with surprise and don’t offer much beyond that. Others, ... Read More...

It’s Monday January 26th: What are You Reading?

January 26, 2015

jaguar's children

It’s not often most people get to say this but I am SO HAPPY about this Monday. Enough so, that I’m going to stray off the bookish topic to explain why. Most of you know that I live in Seattle but you may not know that currently my husband and I live in a small rental house and that we’ve been looking for a house of our own for a year. Who knew Seattle was one of the most ... Read More...

It’s Monday January 19th: What are You Reading?

January 19, 2015

It’s another Monday (funny how they keep showing up) and I’m back to share what I’m reading now as part of a meme from Sheila at Book Journey. When we met last week there seemed to be a general malaise about good books and reading so I'm hoping things a little peppier for you all. I’m not un-slumped yet except for The Undertaker’s Daughter which I finished this past weekend and ... Read More...

Monday January 12th: What Are You Reading?

January 12, 2015

It’s the second Monday in January but feels more like the beginning of the year. Or maybe I just wish it was because, two weeks in and I’m not being bowled over by anything I’m reading. At the end of the year, I was reading a book that rocked me so hard (Vanessa and Her Sister) I’m going to break all the rules and include it in my best of 2015 when next December comes around. ...

December 26, 2014

month of faves

I'm a bit late to the game but Traveling with T and Estella's Revenge are two of the fab book bloggers who came up with the A Month of Favorites event. They've been working it hard but it was T's post about her year-in-review that piqued my interest and made me curious to see I've done this year. So, without further ado here are the bits and bobs of my reading ... Read More...

As You Wish: Cary Elwes

December 19, 2014

as you wish

Some people think of reviewing books as solitary, quiet vocation and often, they are right. How nice then, to attend a book event that ends up feeling like a movie premiere—complete with large crowds, screaming fans and people in costumes. This was the fun-filled case earlier this week when I was at the University Book Store to see actor Cary Elwes talk about his new book, As ... Read More...
