I have been seeing this book everywhere. It is on display at all of my favorite bookstores both major and minor. I didn't pick it up because I was sure it was going to be bad-sad (that sadness that feels foisted upon you by authors). Finally, I requested it from my local library because I... Continue Reading →
Often I read non-fiction because I am interested in a subject matter and want to delve more deeply into the details. Or, I have come across something that I know nothing about but my curiosity has been piqued. This time, I chose a non-fiction book on a subject that I really didn't care about just...

I picked this book up because the cover caught my eye. And the tag line on the front reads, "The Inquisitor's Tale Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog." I was sold. It took me a fair bit of time to get around to reading it but I just finished it and I... Continue Reading →
The first time I saw a the term "Tag" I erroneously thought the author was referring to a search word for a book. For example, "I want a book about England in the 1800's and includes a nice battle scene." My inner librarian / reference addict would then type (1) England, (2) 1800's, (3) battle...

I am back in the book saddle!!! After a long two weeks not finding anything that sparked my interest I have read three books in the last two days. Sometimes you just have to take a step back. I took a little friend of mine to see the new Disney remake of Beauty and the Beast.... Continue Reading →

Before the book I would have said I liked poetry. Now I feel that I don't really know what poetry is and the little... Continue Reading →
This delightful second Kopp sisters novel gives us another peek into the historically rooted adventures of Constance, Norma and Fluerette Kopp. In Girl Waits With a Gun, the women took their first steps outside of their country home and into the adventure, and danger, of a changing world. Now, in The Lady Cop Makes Trouble, the women... Continue Reading →
I have been seeing the word Tsundoku bouncing around on the internet a lot lately. Some book people are in love with this "new" word. Apparently the word is used to describe the action of buying reading materials followed by letting them pile up and never reading them. This activity has been talked about for... Continue Reading →
February 9th is National Pizza Day. How great are these National Days for foods? Now I have to have pizza tonight. It's not my fault my healthy eating is going sideways - this is for America! Beyond making plans to stuff my face with the best food ever I also pulled one of my favorite... Continue Reading →
Now, chic lit is often used with great disdain to dismiss a book. Well, I proudly enjoy most stories that would probably be considered chic lit except I just call them fiction. Although, I do wish we could get away from some of the covers (Hello Publishers!) that are typically Barbie pink or feature women in uncomfortable,... Continue Reading →
