Books and reading have always been an important part of my life. When I was very young, my grandma was the library director at our local public library. Years later, after she had retired, I became a librarian at the same library and worked there for several years before taking a part-time job at a local coffee shop, which gives me more time to do what I love, to read and to review books! A few of my favorite authors are Aimee Bender, Diane Chamberlain, and Curtis Sittenfeld however, I will read almost any book I come across! In my spare time you can find me reading (of course), volunteering at a wildlife animal rehab, or hanging out with my three house rabbits.
Alice & Oliver. What a simple title for such a complex and moving book. As a reader, you are introduced to Alice and Oliver Culvert, and from the very beginning they are portrayed as your typical …
Science has always been a subject that interests me. How can it not? After all, as humans, we are science. Lab Girl is a book about science and research, but also so much more. It …
From the cover of this book, one might expect to read a Western, or maybe a Western romance. What you get is actually more of an adventure story with a little bit of amateur romance thrown in. It i…
I am often amazed at the depth and clarity of middle grade novels. Sometimes I find myself turning them down because I am sure they will be too juvenile for me. Having read all of Ally Condie's previo…
I have heard so many good things about this book, and I imagine you may have also. Well, get ready to hear even more positive things, because that is all I have to say about The Expatriates. A…
When I received the ARC of The Never-Open Desert Diner it had a different cover, but I liked it more than the finished hardback copy I am seeing now. I guess that is just another lesson for …
Beginning this book, I honestly did not think it would be worth my time, or four stars. I didn't know much about Contrary Motion because the copy I had was a review copy with a plain cover a…
I didn't know what I was getting into when I began reading this book. Something of a mix between Harry Potter and a dystopian teen novel, All the Birds in the Sky is something…
John B. Watson. Does the name ring a bell? No? Not for me either. Turns out he was a pretty important guy though, and if I were born in the late 1920's, there is a good chance he may have influenced h…
Try Not To Breathe is being heralded as the next The Girl on the Train--and for good reason. Like The Girl on the Train, this book is told from multiple viewpoints, it is delightfully t…
I was a little late to the party when reading The Life of Pi and I think when I read it I had heard so many hyped-up things that I was a bit disappointed. I still enjoyed it, and I definitel…
This book was unique. It told a story of a family with a son who inherited his brains and mathematical skills from his father, who got his brains from his father. At first I though…
