Send to Kindle
Desperately seeking a great gift idea for an irascible uncle or I-don’t-want-a-thing niece? Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, books cannot be beat for an offering that is both personal and universal–and 2017 has been great to us, bookwise. Here are three books I absolutely adored, and I’m guessing that at least one of them will ring the bell for someone special (and/or

| A page-turner that's also deeply reflective that also made me laugh out loud too many times to count - could I please have 100 more of these? I enjoyed every minute with these endearing, quirky, authentic, somewhat lost, but also willing-to-be-found ...more | |

| The thing about Taylor Jenkins Reid is she makes me care about things I don't care about: surfing, tennis, and now space travel. Her stories are so well-constructed with fully-fleshed out characters that the story could be about paint drying and I wo ...more | |

| I got more than I expected from this novel. It had a depth that surprised me, even given the subject matter of a pending suicide, and yet it's humor surprised me, too. The characters are quirky, layered, with a lot going on beneath the surface. Writi ...more | |

| I've been a Frances Perkins fan for years because of her work to get Social Security and other blockbuster reforms passed, but had never known her personal story. Dray's deep research and excellent storytelling skills paint a compelling, thoughtful, ...more | |

| Larkin is a master of getting inside a moment, not dissecting it, but just gazing at it until it reveals its secrets. Her writing is slowly revelatory; you come to know the characters more and more deeply over the entire course of the story. They are ...more | |

“Loneliness is painful. But suffering is not wrong in and of itself. It's part of the human experience, and in a way brings us closer to all people.”
― Shelter Me: A Novel About Grief, Fierce Motherhood, and Unexpected Love
― Shelter Me: A Novel About Grief, Fierce Motherhood, and Unexpected Love
“The Magi in my life have always surprised me. They have often been people I initially felt I had nothing in common with. Sometimes I didn't even like them. But they came bearing gifts. Of wisdom, or acceptance. One or two came to give me a kick in the pants...and some left as suddenly as they came. They returned to their respective homelands or continued on their own journeys. I miss some of them... But we all have to find our way toward what ever miracle awaits us. And to perform miracles, when it is in our power to do so. Maybe the most important question is: how do I serve the Magi for others? How generously do I give my gifts - and not just to the obvious recipients in my life? How far out of my way do go to recognize and pay homage to miracles? Not very far some days. But on good days, just far enough. ”

“We all miss people. I miss my parents, may they rest in peace. I miss my marriage when it was good. You don't have to stop missing. You just have to accept that missing doesn't mean you turn away your happiness.”
