Dewey’s Readathon Recap

April 27, 2014

I'd love to say I made it until 5am but I didn't. By 1:30am I was loopy enough to think that all I needed was fresh air and I should go out and take a walk- in the midst of urban Seattle. Thankfully, I reconsidered but even sitting in an uncomfortable desk chair and taking a brief nap didn't help so I headed to bed hoping to read some more before crashing. All told I made it ...

Dewey’s Readathon: Updates

April 26, 2014

  We're entering hour 5 now and I'm making good time on my first book Troika by Adam Pelzman. I'm on page 171 out of 274 so hoping I'll finish within the next hour or two. I'm also trying to make time to visit all the great blogs who are participating. One of my favorites is River City Reading- where she gets the energy I'll never know but she's reading, tweeting, ...

Dewey’s Readathon: Introducing the Books

April 26, 2014

It's Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, a time when chores go undone, family is ignored, and bad TV goes unwatched. Instead book lovers find different spaces to curl up in and read as many books as are physically possible. In theory, I am thrilled for the ... Read More...

April 25, 2014

cleveland loganberry books

Earlier this week I was in Cleveland and had the great fortune to visit Loganberry Books in the Shaker Heights neighborhood. I’m fortunate to have a sister-in-law who knows bookstores are one of my favorite destinations in any city so she insisted we stop by. Loganberry Books is one of those marvelous stores where the front windows cannot convey just how much depth lies ... Read More...

Sunday Sentence: Astonish Me

April 20, 2014

Sunday Sentence: The best sentence(s) from this week, out of context and without commentary. Inspired by David Abrams at The Quivering Pen.     He is still proud of Harry, but the pride is something different than it used to be: it has been cut away from his pride in himself and left to stand on its own.  ...

Cara Hoffman- A Letter

April 4, 2014

cara hoffman

By and large this blog is composed of book reviews, author events, anything bookish. I don’t extend myself into the political or economic arenas because I’m not always savvy enough to know what I’m talking about. But sometimes I do raise my head from a book long enough to see something I believe needs to be shared. On Wednesday I reviewed Cara Hoffman’s new novel, Be Safe I ... Read More...
