Please tell me you thought of Shania Twain, even if you aren’t a country fan. I’m probably dating myself here. “They” say never judge a book by it’s cover… Yet I do it all the time. Rather than speaking of books that did not manage to impress me, I decided to cover (sorry, not sorry)Continue reading “That Don’t Impress Me Much…”

Historical Settings I Enjoy
Salem Witch Trials. Growing up in the Boston area, Salem was a big part of our New England history curriculum. We even took a field trip there. I’d love to say it was as fun as Hocus Pocus, but alas, it was not. It was fascinating, however, and I love to take as many fictionalContinue reading “Historical Settings I Enjoy”
2015 Favorites.
This was not a great reading year for me. I won’t go as far as saying these are the best of a bad lot, because that’s not true, but my reading slump was so pervasive that, at times, it felt that way. That being said, I quite enjoyed the following books. 08. American Meteor // Norman Lock. “ShedsContinue reading “2015 Favorites.”
Road Trip!
A few weeks ago I did a list on cars + books. It was easy (and I’m all about easy, I’d try to tell you otherwise, but in the interest of keeping it real…). So, thinking along those same lines, I decided to do road trips. Who doesn’t love a good road trip?! I actually wentContinue reading “Road Trip!”
Going Broke: A Love Story
As a librarian, I will never be rich. Not even a little. But I’d probably spend all my money on books anyway, so that may be a good thing. Despite my small net worth, I still manage to continue filling up my bookshelves (as one does). Four sentences in and I know you are already dyingContinue reading “Going Broke: A Love Story”
A Perfectly Adequate Beach Guide For (Almost) Every Reader.
Picking a book (or three) for the beach can be tough. Do you go classic? Contemporary? Literary? Sci-fi? Here’s a guide to help you. For those looking for the quintessential beach read: A Hundred Summers // Beatriz Williams (review) For those who want something set in the rural south/Gulf of Mexico region: Salvage the BonesContinue reading “A Perfectly Adequate Beach Guide For (Almost) Every Reader.”
Where Are They Now?
It sounds like the title of a fun celebrity update (like Full(er) House), right? I wish. Because I’d love to share the weirdness of Macaulay Culkin or the fashion designs of the Olsen Twins. Or the surprising normalcy of Dakota Fanning and Sean Astin and the train wreck of Lindsay Lohan. More importantly, I’d loveContinue reading “Where Are They Now?”
{Like This, Read That} The Walking Dead
(Please note: If you have never watched The Walking Dead, but plan to, don’t read this post. Spoilers abound.) While The Walking Dead isn’t my favorite show of all time, that honor remains with Twin Peaks or The X-Files, it’s up there on the list of television I enjoy. Sure they took way, way, WAYContinue reading “{Like This, Read That} The Walking Dead”
Movie Adaptations: The Unknown Edition
I make an honest attempt to read the book before seeing the movie, but sometimes I see a movie (or watch a show) that I had NO IDEA was based on a book. From the ‘book to film adaptation’ genre, which I made up solely for today’s list, I’ve somehow missed reading these staples: 10.Continue reading “Movie Adaptations: The Unknown Edition”
The Stephen King Book Club
The Stephen King Book Club? That should be a thing. And I want to be a member. My guess? It’s already a thing somewhere, I just haven’t found it (or been invited) yet. Soon. This week’s top ten list is book club picks. There are so many books, both old and new, that would makeContinue reading “The Stephen King Book Club”
