The Unwritten Vol. 7, by Mike Carey and Peter Gross
I was really excited to see this volume come into my library so close on the heels of finally reading the previous collection, so much so that I coerced (read: said please to) the cataloger in charge of it to put a hold on it for me as soon as she could, you know, just … Read more
Life After Life, by Kate Atkinson
I’ve been meaning to read Kate Atkinson’s Jackson Brodie mysteries for a long time now, and even more so after watching the BBC adaptation with Jason Isaacs. Of course, I now have to wait until I forget what happened in said adaptation before I can read the books, so I’ll get around to them… someday. … Read more
Little Bee, by Chris Cleave
This is one of those books where I have no idea what to say about it right after reading it, so I decide to wait until inspiration strikes, and then it doesn’t and then I’m like, I should really write about that book before all I can remember about it is its title. And it’s … Read more

Man in the Empty Suit, by Sean Ferrell
If I could only have one word to describe this novel, it would be this: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Fortunately? Unfortunately? One of those is the adverb for the fact that I have many more words about this book, most of which will probably be me talking myself through what this book even was. Let’s start here: I … Read more
Stardust Read-along, Part the First
My husband, to me, last night: “What are you reading?” Me: “Stardust.” Him: “Didn’t you already read that? Why are you reading it again?” Me: “Because it’s good?” And, I mean, yes, that, but also I am reading it again because I am talking about it with people on the internet! And I can’t keep … Read more
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, by Ben Fountain
Oh, Billy Lynn, with your title that I can never remember correctly or in full. You are a strange little book, and I’m still not sure if I really like you, but I can definitely see why you keep getting nominated for awards. This was a tough book to get into, and to start discussing … Read more
