I recently discovered Invaluable.com, an online auction website that focuses on high quality items. They had lots of books that I’d love to have on my shelf. I love science-fiction, so I was excited to see the collection of Easton Press Science Fiction Books being auctioned by a private estate. The God’s Themselves by Issac…

Do you judge books by their covers? While I would love to say that I never judge a book by it’s cover, I have to admit that I actually do it a lot. When I’m browsing books at the local bookstore, I’m not even going to pick up a book to see what it’s about…

What are your favorite book covers? I am absolutely in love with Orion Publishing’s new hardcover imprints of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. I might have even ordered one of them from the Book Depository the other day. It was a copy of Good Omens, the only book in the collection that wasn’t a Discworld novel,…

I recently got a chance to read an advance copy of A Beginner’s Guide to Paradise by Alex Sheshunoff. This memoir about Sheshunoff’s time in the south pacific was a wonderfully entertaining read.

How many bookshelves do you own? As a booklr, the obvious answer to this question is: not enough. In all seriousness, I do have 2 bookcases in my house, plus the shelves I store my sewing books on in my sewing/craft room, and a few small shelves I store books on at work. I love…

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…

Do you reread books? I certainly haven’t reread every book I’ve ever read. But, there are a few books that I find myself rereading on a fairly regular basis. I tend to read my copy of A Wrinkle in Time about once a year. It’s a book that I’ve enjoyed reading since I was first…

Which book character do you most relate to? Having recently read a lot of Douglas Adams books, I find myself relating to Arthur Dent more than I would like. Granted, I haven’t been to travel the universe with nothing but a towel and my bathrobe, but I do feel very out of place. More often…

Do you read Fan-fiction? When I was in high school, I used to read a lot of fan-fiction about some of my favorite TV shows, like Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. My favorites were the ones that centered on Heero Yuy, one of the five primary gundam pilots. These days, I don’t really read fan-fiction anymore.…
