I’ve always been a voracious reader. It’s a family gift and curse. I grew up reading the newspaper every day (start with the funny papers, duh) and library trips were a weekly treat. We would spend hours there and haul our booty home in big canvas bags, cackling at the 6 week long checkout period that my hometown had. I should also mention here that my mother is a librarian.

All this to say, a monthly or more feature is going to be book reviews. I plan on reviewing the favorite bits of my library, which fall into the general categories of history and mystery. There might be a side of cookbooks and business/personal success ones as well, if there’s any interest.

I will be the first to admit that my fiction reading is not at the top of it’s game in recent years, so I’m looking for recommendations from you. Please pass along any mysteries or fiction that you have enjoyed, I would love to read and it pass it on!
