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.
I must say, I was impressed by this book. I thought that a book about a winery wouldn't be that interesting, but I had a copy sitting in my "to read" pile for months, so I decided to give it a go. I w…
At first glance, I didn't think this book would be my cup of tea. Then I started seeing it on blogs, Goodreads, recommendations, and a woman requested it at the library where I work. All of a sudden t…
I don't know if you have noticed, but recently there has been a new trend in YA fiction: OCD. I am delighted to see this mental disorder highlighted in books, especially with the influx of adults read…
Many years ago I read a book by Marisa de los Santos, but something about it must have struck me as spectacular, because I picked this book up without knowing a single thing about it. That is rare for…
Before I even picked up this book, I knew I would have a good chance of adoring it. After all, the main character, Mayumi, is a librarian in a small island town. I like books about small towns by big …
I have had an E-galley of this book on my Kindle for ages. I finally ran across it at a local library and picked it up, as having a real book in my hand is my preferred method of reading. This book is…
Anyone who has read books by Lemony Snicket knows his books are quirky and entertaining. Most of them are very juvenile, and yet adults might find themselves oddly drawn to the stories this mysterious…
I read A Wrinkle in Time years ago when I was a young teen. At the time, it didn't make me too excited to read anything else by the author. Even though I like science fiction, it just wasn't…
Humans crave nature to some extent. Whether you are like Kristin Kimball and hail from a busting city, or you live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, you probably feel this pull to dig in the d…
If you don't have plans in the near future to go on a fun road trip, but are in desperate need of a vacation, this book will fill that yearning. I grew up in a large family that took day trips, not va…
I was homeschooled so for the majority of my childhood and adolescence I never felt the pressure to be "popular". So, in some sense, I couldn't really relate to what Maya writes about in this book. (H…
I love books that are written in the style that this one is written in. I am unsure what to call it, or how to explain it, but if you have read any of Curtis Sittenfeld's books, you will know what kin…
