Hi! Remember me?
Look, I know we all like free stuff–for many of us the best concepts in the world are love, compassion, and swag–but this particular giveaway is going to appeal only to the true fans of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series.
Here it is:
It’s the “completely unauthorized” anthology of essays by various young adult authors […]
Yes, I know it’s Tuesday Book Club tomorrow, but it’s almost 10:00 PM here, and I’m being picked up at 7:30 AM tomorrow to begin a day with three school visits in Palo Alto, CA (truly a gorgeous place), set up by Kepler’s Bookstore (truly an AMAZING place), and so I’ll be busy talking my […]
Still doing the slow savor on T.H. White’s The Once and Future King. So masterful. And funny. And such an excellent study of human nature. LOVE it, always have loved it, will continue to reread this throughout my life.
Also read Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth: Awakening to Your […]

Because if you’re a huge fan of the BBC version (the Colin Firth version) of Pride and Prejudice, you need to give yourself the new treat of renting the BBC series North and South. Why? Because it’s romantic […]
Thanks to Liz for bringing this to my/our attention. SO irritating. How is it helpful/kind/reasonable/compassionate/anything other than judgmental to criticize people for their reading choices? And this extends to adults criticizing kids for reading graphic novels, comic books, manga–anything other than what someone else deems “worthy.”
I proudly read YA. […]
Thank goodness for audio books on road trips. Listened to one up, one back, and they just made the miles fly by.
You know that TV show Medium? It’s based on the real life of Allison DuBois, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and who has been able to see and speak with the dead […]
One of the things I love so much about my job is that so often the books I want to read do double-duty as research for novels I’m either working on or want to write.
So this week I got to read two more of Dr. Brian Weiss’s books about reincarnation: Same Soul, Many Bodies […]
