November- what a month! I made it from Seattle to Ann Arbor and had a fabulous time driving across country. All our belongings showed up intact and on time with only a few hiccups. We’re still unpacking, organizing, and dealing with the ‘our furniture doesn’t fit in this space’ confusion. And getting hit with an unexpected storm that left 6” of snow behind. I knew I’d have to ... Read More...
Summer Fun Reading: Mini-Reviews
Summer fun reading means something different to everyone. For some it's a chance to finally slow down and sink into longer, deeper reading, but for others it's a time of toss-away reading—books that you're not invested in, that you don't care if they get left behind at the beach, pool, or vacation spot.

Except that she’s got dreams of her own and an astonishing whiskey-soaked voice. Billy Dunne is the charismatic, handsome, lead ... Read More...
Unmarriageable by Soniah Kamal
Unmarriageable is one of the winter books I was most looking forward to reading in January. Author Soniah Kamal takes Jane Austen’s beloved Pride & Prejudice and updates it to fit into Pakistan in the year 2000. Every detail is the same, but with an Eastern flair. The Bennetts are the Binats, Darcy is Darsee, and Wickham is Wickaam. Other than name changes Kamal shapes her ... Read More...
January Reading Wrap-Up
I feel as if "wrap-up" is the appropriate word both for my January reading and for everyone who is shivering in the Midwest and Northeast. I'm happily ensconced in Seattle with 40 degrees and sunshine, but cringe looking at the weather station, knowing that this time next year I'll huddled inside in Ann Arbor, cursing the cold. Let's try and forget the weather and talk books! ... Read More...
