Motherhood has afforded more time to read than I expected (Keep eating, Nolan! I want to finish this chapter!), and over the last two months I’ve polished off nearly a dozen books. Yesterday I was moseying around the library looking for inspiration in the fiction section when I picked up Empire Falls by Richard Russo. [...]

Ok, so I just finished the third installment in the Millennium series, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. Oy. I have very mixed feelings. Before I describe my feelings, I will give my rating: 3 out of 5. I know the author tragically died before the books were published, so I feel a little [...]

With hopes that I’ll be a diligent book clubber this year, I’ve started our summer read, The Angel’s Game. Written by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, it’s a supernatural-ish mystery set in Barcelona in the early 20th century. Zafon also wrote The Shadow of the Wind, which I’ve heard wonderful things about but have not yet read. [...]

In case you missed the first few, here is my post about what a blog is and a few you should check out. On to the next: Dooce – Heather Armstrong is probably the most popular (and most successful) blogger out there. She began several years ago writing a little blog about her job, wound [...]

Need some inspiration before you head to the bookstore? Check out bookseer.com and get some recommendations! Each time you visit the site, you’ll receive a slightly different greeting and empty fields to fill with a book and author you like. Then it spits back some recommendations. For example, when I entered The Girl with the [...]

The first 40 pages of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were “eh.” Then I couldn’t put it down. 400 pages later I’m done and very excited to read the second part of the trilogy, Girl who Played with Fire. For some reason I was under the impression that the books in this series were geared [...]
What I’m Reading (and something I just read)

I am proud to announce that I finished my book club’s book in time for this month’s meeting! Ok, so it was only 120 pages… Michael Chabon’s The Final Solution was entertaining. It’s chock full of SAT words and some vintage language (that’s not really something; I just made it up). Although it’s short, it [...]
What I’m Reading: UPDATE
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged books, reading on May 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Remember when I said The 19th Wife was good? I was wrong. I finished it over the weekend and not only felt disappointed, but also a little insulted. I really had a problem with the author’s portrayal of one of the main characters, a gay man – it was one big clichéd stereotype. And the [...]
A Must Read
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged love, New York Times, reading on February 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
My friend Loren (what up, girl!) shared this article with me today and it seriously made my day. The New York Times has a weekly series called Modern Love and it’s definitely worth a read. This particular piece, “The Boundaries of a Breakup,” made me laugh out loud so many times that I disturbed the [...]
