This book was so fun. Sookie and Bill are broken up and witches have cursed Eric such that he has lost his memory. Hijinks ensue. Again with the adding more… Continue Reading “Dead to the World, by Charlaine Harris”

Lily Koppel rescued an old diary, and some other stuff, from a dumpster when her building in Manhattan cleared out their old storage spaces. It was the five-year… Continue Reading “The Red Leather Diary, by Lily Koppel”

It is a dark, dark fantasy set… Continue Reading “Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman”

Then I saw the library had a “Plaway” audio copy. It is an MP3 player that has one audio book loaded on it.… Continue Reading “Thunderstruck, by Erik Larson”

Then she lent her copy to someone else and never got it back. Good thing the library had an audio copy. Seriously, because I am not a fan of the novel-told-in-letters… Continue Reading “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows”

And hardly care. I was interested in Einstein’s personal history as a German Jewish intellectual in the time that Germany was… Continue Reading “Einstein: His Life and Universe, by Walter Isaacson”

Exiles in the Garden was, I think, his most recent novel. At the heart of the story is the romantic idea of the lives of European expatriates living in America… Continue Reading “Exiles in the Garden, by Ward Just”

I figured Iwould read it and then mock him appropriately. Except it was good. The premise is that… Continue Reading “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, by Seth Grahame-Smith”

I was not disappointed. Two adopted boys meet their birth mother when she is hit by a car rescuing one of… Continue Reading “Run, by Ann Patchett”

But the summary didn’t grab me. Then it was picked for my book club and I loved it.… Continue Reading “A Spot of Bother, by Mark Haddon”
