While waiting for the train last week, I was able to read Mary Poppins. Yes, it was a book way before Disney ever made it into a movie. The book is quite a bit different than the movie although all the same characters pop up. What I found most interesting was Mary [...]
Reservations, basketball, and growing-up

The second book I’ve finished for the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge is the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. This is another YA book, so it was a quick read. I enjoyed every page of this book.
Sure there were some incredibly sad parts in this boy’s life, [...]
I feel pretty

It’s amazing how a cute outfit can make you feel good. I recently got a dark brown pencil skirt from Avenue. (Let me just say that I love Avenue. At least the online store.) Add a denim swing jacket with a floral tank underneath and my purple suede wedges and I [...]
On reading

Maybe it’s the time of year, but I’m reading more again. Last night after work, I turned on the iPod, made some dinner, and sat down with The Historian. I started reading this a year ago and wasn’t that interested. It happens. So it went back on the shelf and I [...]

I wrote my first book review for the local paper. It should be published Oct. 10. Yes, family types, I’ll get a couple of copies and send it along. It’s really not anything spectacular, but I enjoyed doing it. The hard part was deciding which book to review. I chose [...]
Another Odd book
Posted by: J on: August 11, 2008
My roommate at Ref Renaissance was kind enough to pass along her copy of Odd Hours, the latest installment in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz.
As usual, it didn’t take me long to get through the book. I’ve really been enjoying the series. Something about a person who sees dead people interests [...]

…is a great used bookstore, The Dusty Bookshelf. It’s dangerous to go in there because I usually come out with a stack of books. But yesterday I was good and only bought an Edward Gorey postcard.
Bookstores that rock!

While in Denver, I took the opportunity on Tuesday night to visit The Tattered Cover. If you are ever in Denver, GO! I’m sure people thought I was strange wandering around snapping pictures, but I just had to share. I also got three great bargains. When I get back to Denver, [...]
A Good Read

I recently finished reading Without a Backward Glance by Kate Veitch. She will be doing a reading from the book at a bookstore during the time I’m in Denver. I’m planning to go and look forward to meeting her. I’ll share my review that I posted on Goodreads.
I really enjoyed this [...]
One at a time? Never!
Posted by: J on: July 26, 2008
I never read just one book at a time. Well, I do read one at a time, but I usually have several books started at any given time.
I’m currently reading Plainsong and a few other books. For some reason, July has been a particularly prolific month of reading for me. It’s [...]
