This Just In! Willow by Julia Hoban
I have just passed the midpoint of the Blob Game (Biggest Loser of Books) with Natasha, Amy, Dawn, Candace and Jen. Up until yesterday I was the uncontested lead, having culled 161 book that I have listed on our BLOB Spreadsheet. I have some more to add, but since they are not on the sheet, [...]
This Just In: The Little Giant of Aberdeen County, by Tiffany Baker (& Giveaway)
I have been seeing reviews of this book since way back in when it first came out in hardcover, and even though most all of those reviews were positive I resisted picking up a copy. The last time I did that was with The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz, and we [...]

This Just In! Labor Day, by Joyce Maynard
Kathy from BermudaOnion has to take full responsibility for me venturing downstairs to buy this book. I had sworn off the book store, really! Kathy is going to be a guest on That’s How I Blog! on November 3, and we were trying to figure out a book for the both of us to discuss [...]
This Just In! The Barnes & Noble Edition (1)
I mention it on Twitter all the time and I may have mentioned it here, but I can’t remember- I live upstairs from Barnes and Noble. I literally walk out my door, take a right, walk approximately 10 steps and I’m at the entrance of the store. This has probably very literally cost me a [...]
