It’s Monday January 26th: What are You Reading?

January 26, 2015

jaguar's children

It’s not often most people get to say this but I am SO HAPPY about this Monday. Enough so, that I’m going to stray off the bookish topic to explain why. Most of you know that I live in Seattle but you may not know that currently my husband and I live in a small rental house and that we’ve been looking for a house of our own for a year. Who knew Seattle was one of the most ... Read More...

Monday January 12th: What Are You Reading?

January 12, 2015

It’s the second Monday in January but feels more like the beginning of the year. Or maybe I just wish it was because, two weeks in and I’m not being bowled over by anything I’m reading. At the end of the year, I was reading a book that rocked me so hard (Vanessa and Her Sister) I’m going to break all the rules and include it in my best of 2015 when next December comes around. ...

Favorite Debuts of 2014

December 29, 2014

favorite debuts of 2014

It's the last week of the year and Favorite Debuts of 2014 is the last list from me- I promise! One of my favorite parts of being a book blogger is getting to read new voices before everyone else does—and then getting all evangelical about those voices here in this blog. If I can get even one person to read a new author whose book I loved it makes me feel like I’m doing my ... Read More...

month of faves

I'm a bit late to the game but Traveling with T and Estella's Revenge are two of the fab book bloggers who came up with the A Month of Favorites event. They've been working it hard but it was T's post about her year-in-review that piqued my interest and made me curious to see I've done this year. So, without further ado here are the bits and bobs of my reading ... Read More...

Shop Small and Independent

November 29, 2014

shop small

Today is Small Business Saturday so just a quick reminder that as you begin the shopathon that may constitute your life leading up to Christmas please keep your local retailers in mind.  Especially (of course!) the book stores. I happened to stop by the University Book Store here in Seattle and was dazzled and enthralled by how creative they are with their displays and what ... Read More...

Free-Range Reading Time!

November 3, 2014

It’s fortunate that as we head into the busiest time of year for family, shopping, travel and gatherings, the book world slows down. By and large throughout the year we book bloggers are held to a schedule of release dates and have to plan our reading and writing accordingly but November and December are quiet months for new book releases. I had already decided to use this time ... Read More...
