Last night as I was working at the bookstore, I found myself noticing books that I wanted to read, and trying to remember to put them in my Goodreads.com account marked as to read. And I got to thinking, why don’t I do something like other blogs I read, where I have a weekly, or […]

Crashed by Robin Wasserman

I was so excited when this came out and I actually ordered it in to the bookstore because we didn’t have it in. But, something else came up, can’t remember what it was at this time, and I just now got around to reading it. And it was good, just like I knew it would […]

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

I have wanted to read this book for a long time. Many of the people I work with at the bookstore loved this book. I put it on my list to read, figuring it would be good, but another of those popular books that wouldn’t make my favorites list. Boy was I wrong! I finally […]

Another Faust by Daniel and Dina Nayeri

I’m a bit behind on my blogging, teaching two online classes and no snow days last week left me kinda too busy to blog. I promised myself if I actually got a snow day this week, I’d get my book blogged. And I have two to blog about, but I’ll just do this one today, […]
