... Losers, Weepers

FINDERS, KEEPERS by Stephen King.

 

From an interview for Rolling Stone Magazine:

ALMOST PERFECT by Diane Daniels Manning.

Favorite Authors - Christopher Moore



I enjoy author events and try to attend as many as I can when they come to my little corner of the world.  Not living in a major metropolitan area and in Canada to boot, well … its kind of like a double whammy in the “missing out” department.  That being said, every once in a while a local Chapters store, small independent bookseller or my Public Library will manage to snag someone and they make the trek.  Unless they are from Ontario I’m quite sure once they get off…

Fifteen Dogs ` A Review

So … two gods walk into a bar … sounds like the beginning of some really bad joke.  This book is no joke.  I can honestly say that when I turned the final page my first thought was that this book has easily made it onto my personal list of 5 Best Books EVER!  I realize that may have been a knee-jerk reaction because I could never really compose a list of FIVE BEST EVER, but…

Does This Make Me a Crazy Book Lady?

Have you ever purchased a book that you have absolutely NO intention of reading?
I don’t mean a reference book that you refer to from time to time, or that gorgeous coffee table book that you glance through for the beautiful pictures, or a dictionary and thesaurus set because no bookshelf would be complete with them.  I mean a book that struck your fancy for one reason or another, that you had to buy, despite the…
