Denise left the corporate world to return to school for an advanced degree, and is now working in the alternative program at a local high school. She is the mother [...] Swimsuit (audio) by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro My neighbor Sherry is back with another audiobook review. I think this might be a good candidate for a treadmill audio for me – lots of action (OK, gruesome murders) to keep me moving, [...] Day 11 of NaNoWriMo: If I want to WIN the challenge by completing a 50,000 word novel (ha!) by midnight on November 30, I have to write an average of 1667 words a day.

When LW13 picked it up and asked, “Can I read this!?!” I answered: “Sure! If you review it”. The motivation worked! She has selected several other books from my TBR [...] Today’s guest post is written by my friend, Michele.

On a recent visit she inspected [...] I’m pleased to offer this guest post written by Meg Wolitzer, a Manhattanite and the author of eight novels, including The Position, The Wife, and The Ten-Year Nap (review). Her short fiction has appeared in The Best American Short Stories and The Pushcart Prize. (Photo credit: Jennifer S. Altman for the New York Times)
