Non-Fiction Friday: I Work at a Public Library… by Gina Sheridan
I have had a serious dry spell in good non-fiction! I read and read but haven't loved anything enough to recommend it. Then, I picked up I Work at a Public Library, A Collection of Crazy Stories from the Stacks, by Gina Sheridan. I initially chose the slim book because I needed one that could be... Continue Reading →

Iron Gold by Pierce Brown

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
This book has been on my radar for years. I was never assigned it in high school or college but everyone I knew had read it and found it to be profound. I have picked up copies at library books sales through the years (two to be exact) but it took listening to the audiobook... Continue Reading →

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley
Some books are so well written that I find myself transported to another place or another time. When I finish the story, I always close the book, hold it in both hands and look back to the cover. I smile because just a few days ago this book was a stranger to me and now... Continue Reading →
