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...

I am referring, of course, to the decision not to finish a book or as many ... Read More...

Namely, I’d read something not so good, not be able to finish it, and retreat to a strong recommendation from friends and fellow bloggers—usually older books. So, like any good librarian I hit the library and it was the ... Read More...
Favorite Debut Books of 2015
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...
