Book It – Short Fictions and Disturbances

August has been a light month of reading for me.  I lost two whole weeks of reading to moving into our new home. And since then, there have still been boxes to unpack and decorating to do, so I’ve had less time to read. That’s thanks in part to using a reading challenge that’s expanded…

Booklr Questions – Do you reread books?

Booklr Questions – Who are your favorite book characters?

Who are your favorite book characters? It’s so easy for me to fall in love with characters in books, but rarely because they are sweet.  I find myself falling in love with the brave, the decisive, and the eccentric. A few of my favorites are: Lettie Hempstock in Ocean at the End of the Lane…

Booklr Questions – What is the worst book you’ve ever read?

What is the worst book you’ve ever read? I try not to hate books, though I can often tell you things I don’t love about them.  My biggest beef is with (usually self-publsihed) books that obviously haven’t been edited.  I read a book a few months ago that took place in winter, and while the…
