I could not pass up the opportunity to share the love again for a book that I adored. I'm not a big short story reader, but Marra connects the dots so well that The Tsar of Love and Techno reads like an abstract art of a novel. It comes out in paperback tomorrow so if you missed it the first time around, read it now! For art to be the chisel that breaks the ... Read More...
Break in Case of Emergency
Poor Jen. She was an artist while in college, but gave up after school and got a communications job at a non-profit. Which then hit hard times and laid her off. Now she’s at a new foundation started by Leora Infinitas (that’s not a typo on my part), a former sitcom star who achieved her wealth by marrying old money. Literally, her husband was old. And then he died and ... Read More...

Ten-year-old Grace takes the words of the local vicar that “If God exists in a community, no one will be lost” as her cue to find God within their neighborhood and in doing so, bring Mrs. Creasy back. She enlists her ... Read More...

Tomorrow will be my four-year anniversary with The Gilmore Guide to Books! I’m not sure I thought I would make it this long, but here I am, still reading and writing. Before I do anything else I want to thank all the wonderful booklovers who have been supporting me from the beginning—and the new readers who have joined them. It’s hard to say just how much it means, but ... Read More...
