It’s Top Ten Tuesday once again, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I love this week’s theme, because I am a visual person and I’m usually drawn to anything with strong graphic design. This week I’ve gone to the stacks and randomly pulled out books with covers I love. It’s hard to pick only […]
Well, here I am. In the Comic Con waiting room. This is the virtual room where tens of thousands of people “wait” to get into the online Comic Con registration area. Tickets went on sale at 8:00 a.m., and it took me half an hour just to get into the waiting room. When the page […]
It’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and today’s very frustrating theme is the Top Ten Books you’d save if (insert calamity here). I say frustrating because I do love all my books, and since I’m not the kind of book collector who spends loads of money on first edition The […]
I received a review copy of Curbchek from the author, and was immediately struck by the intriguing cover. Curbchek describes the gritty, day-to-day working life of a cop on the city streets, and that cop’s name is Zach Fortier, just like the author. Now, I’ve actually read quite a few books where the author decides […]
This week I would like to introduce C. G. Bauer, author of Scars on the Face of God: The Devil’s Bible, which was originally published by the now-defunct Drollerie Press in 2008.

This Tuesday’s Top Ten theme, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, is great picks for Book Clubs, a subject that is near and dear to my heart, since I’ve been in a book club for the past six years. My book club has read some of these, and the others are ones I either […]

Jay Asher is known for the bestselling Thirteen Reasons Why, and Carolyn Mackler has published five other young adult novels, including The […]
I read Sick and Exit 9 back-to-back in one frantic, tense, and exciting week, and I’m glad I did. Sick is the first book in the Project Eden trilogy, and introduces us to a group of bio-terrorists who want to rid the world of 99.9% of the population in order to start a new and […]
Wow, this Top Ten thing is really fun! I’m happy once again to be a part of The Broke and the Bookish’s “Top Ten Tuesday.” Here are the Top Ten books I’m really excited to read in 2012, in order of publication date: 1. CINDER by Marissa Meyer (Feiwel & Friends, January 3 2012) I’ve […]
It’s a sad truth: there is never enough time to read everything I want to. But look! You can see from the above photo that I own all ten books. It’s not like I couldn’t find them at the library! Kids, husband, dogs, life…they all try to pull me away from reading. They want […]
