Now that I’ve gotten the sugar and spice and everything nice posts about best and favorite books out of the way I’m going to channel my Frank Costanza curmudgeon and embrace his cherished anti-Christmas holiday: Festivus. If you’re a Seinfeld fan then you know what I’m talking about and if you’re not you can google it. The important thing to know is that one of the key ... Read More...
Best Debut Novels of 2017
Hello, fellow readers! How are you handling the holidays so far? I’m happy because the house is decorated, my shopping and shipping are finished.

Nonfiction November 2017: Fiction Nonfiction Pairings
The week two event of Nonfiction November is to pair a fiction book with a nonfiction one on a similar subject. Kind of fun for those of us who use our reading as a springboard to learn more about people or events that catch our eye.
