October is my favorite month of the year. I love pumpkins, crunchy leaves, and cooler weather. It is the last relaxing month before the holiday season kicks into full swing. For some unknown reason, perhaps Halloween or longer nights, October always seems like the perfect time of year to break out books that are aContinue reading “A vintage modern guide to good horror: A top ten list”

Favorite contemporary fiction authors: A top ten list
This week’s top ten list: favorite contemporary fiction authors (as hosted by The Broke and The Bookish).

Bret Easton Ellis 7. Ian McEwan 6. John Sandford 5. Kate MortonContinue reading “Favorite contemporary fiction authors: A top ten list”
Backlist fiction: Ten books to remember
This week’s top ten list: backlist fiction (as hosted by The Broke and The Bookish). These are books that run from a few to several years old. They tend to get lost in the mix of new releases and popular classics. It’s worth noting that I included only one Stephen King and one John IrvingContinue reading “Backlist fiction: Ten books to remember”
Unfinished book business: A top ten list
This week’s top ten list: book series I haven’t finished for one reason or another (as hosted by The Broke and The Bookish). I should also preface this by saying I am not a big series reader, so this list took some thought. Thus, I’m dividing this up: the first five are series I believe need toContinue reading “Unfinished book business: A top ten list”
Top ten bookish people I would like to meet
This week’s top ten seven list is a list of bookish people I would like to meet (authors, bloggers, etc.). I’m extending the scope of the list to include both living and deceased individuals.

Books that make me think: A top ten list
I love lists, I really do. And I’ve noticed that many other bookish people love lists as well, I wonder if there is any connection in that. This week’s top ten list is about the books that make (or made) you think (about life, love, politics, the world, etc.). As hosted by The Broke andContinue reading “Books that make me think: A top ten list”
Top Ten Tuesday: in which I confess that my bookishness knows no bounds…
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun, weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week it’s all about bookish confessions. 1. I must admit, I do dog ear book – all the time. I can never find my bookmark. 2. I sometimes think I am the least romantic person ever born, and subsequently,Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: in which I confess that my bookishness knows no bounds…”
