I decided that since so many of you would be enjoying one more day in a long weekend, it might be nice to check in and ask: what are you reading? Because even though it is probably beautiful and sunny where you are, you are reading on your day off, right? Right?! It's OK, I'm probably not reading right now either. I'm most likely working on putting a home back together or ... Read More...
Books about Books: Mini-Reviews
Every reader has a soft spot, a genre or author or both that they gravitate towards without their usual scrutiny. Some people will read any book about dogs, others will grab anything written by John Grisham or Stephen King. For me, it’s books about books or books with the word book in the title. My brain disengages from critical thinking and switches to the blind belief that it ... Read More...

It’s Not You, It’s Me: Mini-Reviews
It's no secret that books are marvelously subjective--unless of course, they're badly written, in which case, of course, they must be ignored completely. Still, for every reader who loves spy thrillers there is one who does not. Even within genres there can be books that appeal to some but for whom others don't feel the same way. Along those lines, I'm adding a new type of ... Read More...
It’s Monday January 26th: What are You Reading?
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...
