Bittersweet by Susan Cain

An interesting book, held my attention throughout, even though I don't love Cain's writing style. I was most interested in the chapters about how happiness and positivity have become the default cultural expectation in American social and career circ ...more

Fox at Night by Corey R. Tabor

Loved this! Funny, adorable, and perfect for little ones afraid of the dark or afraid of monsters in the dark, or both. A definite keeper! (Any children's book with at least one fox and one bat is bound to be good). ...more

Broken Harbor by Tana French

Excellent writing and characters, good setting as well - sadly, I just couldn't suspend disbelief after chapter 17, where the killer is revealed. It never rang true, which marred an otherwise deftly paced and plotted story. I have read 2 of her other ...more

Could not get into this, made it about 30 pages in and gave up. Just not my cup of tea.

Classic Fairy Tales by The Brothers Grimm by Valeria Manferto de Fabianis

Good retellings, the right length for bedtime stories, with gorgeous watercolor illustrations! My only complaint is that all the characters are white. No diversity here! Disappointing. Otherwise, a beautiful book.

A thoroughly engaging thriller, I read this in one sitting and really enjoyed it. True to life dialogue and setting, believable suspense and characters. I think this is aimed for the YA audience, but it's better than many adult thrillers. Would defin ...more

Steven Wright
“I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.”
Steven Wright

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Jarod K. Anderson
“It’s easy to look at the contours of a forest and feel a bone deep love for nature. It’s less easy to remember that the contours of your own body represent the exact same nature. The pathways of your mind. Your dreams, dark and strange as sprouts curling beneath a flat rock. Your regret, bitter as the citrus rot of old cut grass. It’s the same as the nature you make time to love. That you practice loving. The forest. The meadow. The sweeping arm of a galaxy. You are as natural as any postcard landscape and deserve the same love.”
Jarod K. Anderson, Field Guide to the Haunted Forest

Paul Auster
“Libraries aren't in the real world, after all. They're places apart, sanctuaries of pure thought. In this way I can go on living on the moon for the rest of my life.”
