Hello from my sofa in Brooklyn where I have been hermit-ing away all weekend, recovering from BEA! It was a wonderful week though, and I will be posting a full recap of the event, the great books I acquired, and the wonderful bloggers I got to meet and spend time with. Friday night Graham and… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 5.31.15)

Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 5.3.15)
It has been a wonderful week. I got to spend time catching up with friends while eating tacos on two separate occasions – it doesn’t get much nicer than that. Graham and I also went hiking in the Catskills yesterday with my friend Jon. It was a gorgeous spring day and it felt so good to… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 5.3.15)
Home Again!
Hello friends! I have returned home from my month in South America. We had an incredible time, and I can’t wait to start sharing the experiences with you! I’m so happy to be home though, and I’ve arrived back in NYC for the start of what looks to be a very lovely spring. My plan… Continue reading Home Again!
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 3.1.15)
There is icy sludge surrounding my city, but let’s not let that stop us from getting all cozy and talking about books and other great stuff this week, sound good? Good! First of all – it was a delightful week in blog-land and Twitter-world meeting a lot of new-to-me Book Bloggers thanks to this lovely… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 3.1.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.8.15)
This week was extra good due to Graham’s return. He was back in England for a few weeks but arrived in Brooklyn on Tuesday. :) He caught a little bug on the flight here, so we’ve had a low key week. Tonight we’re venturing out for burgers and then heading to BAM to see Hannibal Buress. He’s… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.8.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.1.15)
I made it back to New York on Wednesday, after the airlines decided that the world was not ending due to snow. I celebrated my return on Friday with a visit to Strand and a lovely 4 mile walk home across the Brooklyn Bridge. Without planning to, I somehow timed it perfectly so that I was… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.1.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 1.25.15)
It’s another cold, snowy Sunday in Michigan. It’s snowing big fluffy flakes that slowly spin as they gently make their way to the ground – the kind of snow that looks so perfect it almost seems fake. I’m supposed to fly back to NYC tomorrow, and am watching the approaching East Coast winter storm with… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 1.25.15)
A House of My Own by Sandra Cisneros
The best way to decide if A House of my Own: Stories from My Life by Sandra Cisneros is a book you’d like to read is to listen to her lovely interview on this episode of Nerdette Podcast. If it left you wishing for more time listening to Sandra’s funny, easygoing conversation and her wonderful stories,… Continue reading A House of My Own by Sandra Cisneros
Gumption by Nick Offerman
I have very mixed feelings about Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America’s Gutsiest Troublemakers by Nick Offerman. I’ll start out by saying that I don’t think I would have gotten through it if I hadn’t been listening to the audiobook. His writing style is a little odd – he mixes humor and a very… Continue reading Gumption by Nick Offerman
Book Expo America / BEA 2015 Recap
(For those who may not be familiar with BEA (Book Expo America): it’s a 3 day industry conference held annually for publishers, booksellers, librarians, press (including Book Bloggers) and other people connected with the industry to network and receive information about new authors and upcoming releases.) I think this was my 4th BEA, and it was… Continue reading Book Expo America / BEA 2015 Recap
First lines
I love a great first line of a novel. It’s an opportunity to captivate right from the beginning. I’ve trudged through openings of novels that are weak, boring, or difficult and found reward on the other side, but isn’t it so much better when a novel’s first line is wonderful? A little burst that snaps… Continue reading First lines
The Ten Books I Will Probably Never Read
The topic of this week’s Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by The Broke and the Bookish) is very fun: Ten Books I Will Probably Never Read. Book Bloggers spend so much time discovering new books and adding them to an ever expanding TBR list, it’s a bit refreshing to make a list of books we’ve decided… Continue reading The Ten Books I Will Probably Never Read
