I am a sucker for a good NY Times Bestseller by Dan Brown, particularly if the book involves Professor Robert Langdon. In “Origin,” the professor of symbology again finds himself in the center of a mess not of his own doing with twists and turns on every page. What made this book an especially fun read for me is that much of it takes place in Barcelona, the city I had just visited before I picked up the book. It was really fun to re-visit […]
Fantastical Pride and Prejudice
I have had this book on my TBR list for quite a while now. I don’t remember what drew me to buying it; I imagine that it was because it was fan fiction of one of my favorite Jane Austen novels, Pride and Prejudice. I don’t think I read the review though, or even the summary, because as much as I love JA, and am always up for giving some fan fiction a chance, a fantasy re-telling of the story would have been one step […]
If fight or flight is the choice, it’s way easier to fly. (BINGO #2)
According to Goodreads I shelved this as TBR on June 14, 2013. I’m sure there are books that have been on my TBR list longer, but I would have no idea what they are.Therefore, this book is my Backlog book. I don’t know why it took me so long to read this book, I know I enjoy Kingsolver’s writing, but whatever the reason I’m glad this challenge gave me a reason to pick it up. Dellarobia is a young woman trapped by life in a […]
An Elderly Lady might be up to no good but she is one Hell of an old broad!
This is Two Heads Are Better Than One review. The below review is from our website from one of the staff members who liked it. I have to admit, this could have easily been my cover book. However, even with the really cool and nifty cover and awesome title I probably still if had not be for Sarah K. tell me that she, Sarah D. and Tambra loved this book. This review is from Tabmra. “I hope that I am as feisty, but perhaps not […]
Hi, I’m the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you
This is one of the most popular books on this site, and it’s one I’ve been meaning to get around to. Bingo was the perfect opportunity to kick me in the butt and start it for the So Poplular slot. That said, while I see that it’s one of the more popular books on the site I could not get past the icky plot. Rowell is a fantastic writer. Her characters are very well drawn and engaging. I honestly felt for every single one. However, […]
Come along for the ride
This is my Home, Something, Home read. Jessie Haas is a Vermont author and a patron of the bookstore I work at. She and her husband, Michael Daley (also an amazing author), stopped by the store one day and I had the pleasure of becoming friendly with them both. Saige is a very typical an American Girl story. This young girl is spunky, nervous, must deal with family and friends issues. Plus, she will grow and make mistakes along the way. She has interests […]
