8 Fall 2021 Books I’m Ready to Read

September 15, 2021

Fall 2021

  My apologies, I’ve been remiss this year. Here it is the middle of September and I haven’t shared anything about the books of fall I want to read. Quite honestly, I’m still struggling with my vision. The cataract surgery in my right eye did not go as expected. The cataract is gone, but so is any kind of near vision. As in reading phones, iPads, books, items in stores, ... Read More...

No, it’s not about my hair which is a hot mess, but I’m owning growing in the gray and, more importantly, I'm happy and healthy. You may have noticed, from time to time I mention and post links to a podcast I appear on called Sarah’s Book Shelves Live. Well, it seems people like hearing me talk ... Read More...

January 6, 2021

winter

New year, new books! As much as I’m ready for things to be different in 2021, there is a change I’m not looking forward to in the book world. A combination of COVID and the economy means publishers have been getting a lot stingier about sending advance copies of books to book bloggers. For the first time in a long time my 2021 winter preview includes books I haven’t received ... Read More...
