This post should be subtitled: Library Reading, because 90% of what I read this month was library books. December is slow month for new releases and for someone who reads ‘professionally’ it is like school vacation. Suddenly, instead of having to refer to a spreadsheet to see what I’m supposed to read next I just go to the library and look around for whatever catches my eye. ... Read More...
Best Debuts of 2018
Wow. Another year gone. It’s time to raise the curtain and let the best debuts of 2018 take their bows. It may not have been the easiest year for my reading, but once again debut authors gave me a lot of happy. If you're stuck on a gift for the reader in your life, all of these came out earlier in the year so should be available at your local book store. Plus, they're on a ... Read More...
November Reading Wrap-Up
Well, my November this year was not as much of a blockbuster as last year, but I did read four outstanding books, out of a total of 12 for the month.

Well, October was not a big reading month, mostly because I took on a 700 page novel, but the majority ... Read More...
Books: Bits & Pieces
Unless you are the most blessed of readers you have run into slumps, books you could not finish, and those you couldn’t even start. If you’re also a book blogger there is another demoralizing category: books you’ve read that didn’t make enough of an impression to be reviewed. I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me books I loved or hated are easier to write about. A book ... Read More...
September Reading Wrap-Up
What a month! I read much less, but found some great, less publicized books that were exactly what I needed. Sadly, the end of the month has found me floundering as American politics have taken over. Despite knowing it would be difficult I felt I owed Dr. Ford the respect of listening to her testimony. It broke my heart and brought back a lot of very painful memories—as I’m ... Read More...
