Bookworm

Okay friends, two more book reviews are live over at BlogHer. I'm woefully behind in posting the link to the first one, A Discovery of Witches but please don't think that means I didn't enjoy it! You can check out the review over here. Hint: if you liked Harry Potter, Dan Brown's books or even The Time Traveler's Wife, you should check it out.

The next one I read came from the young fiction genre and while I wouldn't normally head for that category, it was exactly what I needed after all the more serious books I've been reading for BlogHer book club and my real life book club (which, by the way, if you have suggestions for great books for my book club, will you please share them in the comments? Thanks.) Anyway, you should check out Sarah Dessen's books if you're in the market for something that's fun to read but doesn't make you lay awake at night. I reviewed this one but saw at least five of her other titles on the shelf at Target last week.

Happy reading!

Great Timing

So I just got around to posting a link to my Jane Austen review last night and today I got an email saying that someone in blogland is going to win a copy of A Jane Austen Education and The Complete Works of Jane Austen. If you want that someone to be you, click over here and leave a comment. Looks like the winner will be chosen on June 24; that's a pretty auspicious day in these parts so maybe you'll win. It certainly wasn't my favorite book of the last few months, but maybe you'll really like it!

Still Reading

Hey all, remember those books I told you I was reviewing? Well, I'm churning through them and loving almost every minute of it. It's so cool to get books on my front porch that I never would've sought out on my own. Want to know what I thought of A Jane Austen Education? Click over here to find out.

Hey, Guess What?

Remember the book review program I told you about a few weeks ago? You can read more about it over here and you can check out my review here. I'm pretty out of practice actually analyzing anything I read; I mean, my book club in Virginia was once accused of gossiping (in our defense, that barista was totally wrong; we did discuss the book…right before we started discussing everything else) and the club here is much more on task but we got distracted last week talking about headaches with TMO. So, you know, I'm not usually all business when it comes to sharing my opinion on books. Keep that in mind if you decide to read it. If you'd like the abbreviated version, it's this: you should totally read Girl in Translation and then we should talk about it…or whatever else is on our minds.
