Nothing like a list to get motivated, right? Thanks to the wonder of social media sharing, I recently came across a meaty 2016 Reading Challenge list. The checklist items are broad – allowing individual users to choose their own books. <– Here’s

Ways of Going Home

Ways of Going Home

Ways of Going Home by Alejandro Zambra was short. That was the first thing I noticed – it was a small book. Apparently, Zambra’s previous two books were also super-short. There are three or four stories contained in the book,

Nightmare’s Daughter by Aurora Smith

Nightmare’s Daughter by Aurora Smith

[This giveaway has ended. Thanks for participating!] The second title by author Aurora Smith is as good as the first (My Stupid Girl), with vibrant characters and that saucy, snappy tone so enjoyable in Smith’s first novel. In Nightmare’s Daughter, Smith

Mountains Echoed

So, I graduated from my Master’s program in May (woo hoo!) and extremely promptly went to work. I kinda’ hit the ground running which has meant all my “summer catch up” stuff got pushed off a bit until I settled
