I recently got a chance to review and ARC (Advance Review Copy) of The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood. And I’m very excited to be able to share my thoughts on this book with you today. So what’s this book about anyway? A Synopsis – Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to…
Read MoreBook It – Reading on the Road
September has been a busy month, with a family reunion, and a wedding, but I seem to have gotten back into my reading groove. The 10 hours I spent in the car to and from the wedding might have had something to do with it. And I’m also happy to have caught up with the…
Read MoreInvaluable Books at High Prices
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.

Read MoreBooklr Questions – Do you judge books by their covers?
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…

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…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – Where is your favorite place to read?
Where is your favorite place to read? I hate to be a cliche, but my favorite place to read is probably in the tub. I’m a big fan of a nice warm bubble bath and a good book. Now if I could just figure out how to avoid getting my books wet. What’s you favorite…
Read MoreBook 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…
