November 22, 2008 I’m posting this a day late because I was so far behind in my blog reading I had to spend part of yesterday catching up! There are so many good books out there. My ‘finds’ for the week are below (as always, clicking on the book title takes you to Amazon, and [...]

November 7, 2008 I must admit that my blog reading has suffered over the last few weeks due to me being, quite simply, overwhelmed with my current work load. But, I’ve tried to still make a little time to browse the blogs I love and of course I am still finding books which I want [...]

October 31, 2008 I missed this event last week because I was on my way to the San Jose Book Group Expo…so I’m catching up this week. I found some fabulous books at the Expo which I would never have picked up had it not been for meeting the authors and listening to them speak. [...]

This week, while cruising the book blogs, I found some interesting reads. Undiscovered Country, by Lin Enger as [...]

September 5, 2008 I managed to wade through nearly 400 posts from my Google Reader this morning and my eyes are tired! It has been a busy work week for me and so you might notice my Friday Finds list today is shorter than usual. Mind of A Raven, by Bernd Heinrich as featured on [...]

August 29, 2008 I belong to several book groups on Yahoo – and often my book “finds” come through them. This week I discovered Pears on A Willow Tree, by Leslie Pietrzyk as recommended by Gayla (from the Yahoo group Weekly Reads).
