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...
BEA: It’s a Wrap
I promise, this is my last post about BEA and on Monday I'll be back to book reviews—providing I can get my brain to work again. Today I just wanted to share photos of some of the other aspects of the trip.

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...
Author Event: Paula McLain
I may not be in tip-top writing form but I did decide I needed to get some bookish mojo back and what better way than to go to an author event. I haven’t been to one in 8 months so when I saw that Paula McLain was going to be at a local store I knew it was serendipity, because I loved her book. I liked The Paris Wife but I loved Circling the Sun. I’m so glad I ... Read More...
