Books, March 2020

On April 13, 2020May 25, 2020 By Kaitlyn CasimoIn Books

I have to be honest that I really struggled to find writing inspiration to be here this month. I would say that this is a great time to hunker down and read, but really, it's just a great time to hunker down and do whatever entertains you from the safety of your couch. If it …

Spring forward. Land on a pile of books. Read them all. Book of the month: Beloved, Toni Morrison * One of the great benefits of book club is that it pushes me to read books I wouldn't have chosen for myself (or, in this case, pushes a book to the top of my absurdly long …

It has rained. 29 days. In January. (No, I do not want to curl up all cozy with a book. I want to sit outside with a book.) Book of the month: Bad Blood, John Carreyrou If this was a movie, I'd say the plot was too outlandish and the writers should go back and …

Finally, the solstice has passed and the days of reading outside are no longer getting further away! Book of the month: The Ghurka and the Lord of Tuesday, Saad Z. Hossain * The Lord of Tuesday is a djinn who has just awoken from a thousand year cursed sleep to find most other djinn have …

It's too cold and dark to do anything outside. NO TIME FOR RAIN. ONLY BOOKS. Book of the month: The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic, Emily Croy Barker What a terrible title for a wonderful book! Nora, a graduate student in English, accidentally falls through a portal to another world where she is enthralled …

Stay tuned for a very special book surprise coming in December! (If I say it out loud, then I'll get it done. Right?) Book of the month: The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson Hill House is THE ghost story of the 20th century and a perfect atmospheric Halloween read (despite the fact that it …

Books, September 2019

September's book bounty leads to October's challenge: review all these books in just two sentences each. I hoped brevity would be the soul of wit, but instead, just exacerbated my tendency to misuse parentheses. Book of the month: The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller * When I say that The Song of Achilles was nearly …

Seattle Public Library's summer book bingo 2019 is ended at Labor Day... and I got blackout! It's not just about reading the 24 books (actually 23 this year) to complete the board: since most books could count for multiple squares, it's about working out the best placement for each title. I had to fill it …

Books, July 2019

As you have no doubt heard, local bookstores are on the way out, millennials don't read, and also libraries are a waste. Of course, common sense is not so common and a citation is needed on those claims. That said, Amazon controls about 2/3 of book sales and something like 90%+ of ebook sales, and …
