I picked this up from the Humane Society Thrift store in Bend, Oregon, along with a bunch of other books. I have been under a ton of stress, and not able to focus on any of them. Then I got to this one and was like- this…

I didn't like it that much. I liked a lot of things about it, but felt it was overly dramatic and drug out at times. I just released it in a LFL near a dog park.
I haven't been able to get into anything in my stack. …

I almost bought the New Iberia Blues yesterday at a thrift store, but I already had 5 from my list. Now I'm regretting it. It was in good shape and I would probably get to it eventually.

It's one of my least favorites of hers so far. I'm only finishing it because it would be like letting down a friend somehow if I didn't. I have a lot of other good books waiting, so I'm going to power through it now.

Alexie was my favorite author of my generation until his scandal. I still love his books. My friend just sent me Night of the Living Rez, which I'm enjoying a lot. I would say Talty was inspired by Alexie. I don't really…

Just noticed I missed that milestone in July.
I first heard about Bookcrossing in Utne magazine. There were about 40,000 members when I joined. I had an idea that I might give away 30-40 books.
I'm going to releas…

I really liked it in the beginning. And the middle. But the ending is weird and chaotic so far. 25 more pages.
I found it at a LFL, and I will release it at another one. There's a cool LFL stamp in it. It's originall…

All I could find at an airport kiosk. Not terrible so far, but seems pretty lightweight.

Sally is smart!
I ended up liking this book a lot, but it often was a slog for me. I don't want to say more than that in case you read it.
I still like her first book the best. This one is second. I didn't like he…

I just finished it last night and now I need something else. I very much enjoyed it. I thought the style of writing was great and highly recommend this book if you enjoy old Hollywood. Nice young woman at the airport re…
