Teaser Tuesdays: lost in the mail? or is it something else?

TEASER TUESDAYS is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading and asks you to:

Grab your current read.

The Week Ahead: November 10 – 16, 2008

It’s actually a fairly quiet week, bookish and otherwise, on my calendar this week.  That’s a relief, because I can already feel the frenzy of the holiday season around the corner, and it will be nice to relax a bit and catch up on “things” around here!  Of course, now that I’ve said that, my [...]

The Week Ahead: November 3 – 9, 2008

MizB at Should Be Reading asks what books have come into our lives this week.  Here’s my list:

 

 

 

The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home by George Howe Colt.  I’ve already read this book (twice even!), obviously I really like it!  My neighborhood book group chose it for our September [...]

Guest Post: The Long End of Short Stories

Earlier I wrote a post about short stories and the challenges my book group has had when we’ve attempted to discuss them.  I was pleased to get a very insightful response from Christopher Meeks, a playwright, columnist, and published author of four children’s books, a novel, and two collections of short stories, The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea and [...]
