Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash My subject line today is a weak attempt on my part to make light of why I haven’t written a review in so long. I mentioned having COVID in my July recap, but that was two weeks ago. I’ve had little to do but read so reviews should have been flowing like water. Instead, the only thing flowing is my nose when I’m not sleeping or ... Read More...
July Reading Wrap-Up
Hello, lovely readers! I’m sorry for my absence at the end of July but a whole lot of life—some of it very happy, some of it not so much—got in the way of my reading and reviewing. The happy was a family wedding and the not-fun was experiencing COVID for the first time. Wow. Even being fully vaccinated I’ve been laid low. You know it’s bad when even reading is beyond me. ...

Patrick, the witty, gay uncle in Steven Rowley’s novel The Guncle has returned for an encore ... Read More...
April Reading Recap
Is it the year? The authors? Me? Or some depressing combination of all three? I don’t know, but my April reading was as hit or miss as the Seattle weather. Just when you think you’ve read every horror story about the opioid epidemic there’s more. Prescription for Pain is an investigative look into the life of Paul Volkman, a doctor turned pharmacist who at the peak ... Read More...
March Reading Recap
My March reading is a wrap, but I have a question: would you rather have highs and lows in your reading or a steady diet of good? You can probably guess where I’m going with this. I ended the month on a streak of 3.5 star books, most of which I can hardly remember reading. I want need more amazing reading. I guess I’m naïve, but there are certain institutions that ...
