Welcome to the No Charge Bookbunch!
Someone once told me there was nothing out there to read – like saying nothing to wear with a closet full of clothes. No charge here for ideas on what to read – hope you will try some on for size.
Most of my books are from my local library, but I cannot leave a bookstore without buying a book. My day is not complete without my online New York Times (and sometimes the Washington Post), and my New Yorker magazines usually pile up until I have a long flight. When my shelf gets too heavy, I recycle them to friends or to the library, but I’m always looking for a good book, so please offer suggestions for reading.
Just lurk, if you prefer, but every now and then, please send in a comment so I know you are out there.
Who Am I?
…an avid reader, published author, sometime editor, experimental cook, itinerant walker, travel enthusiast,
displaced East Coaster missing the city – but reveling in ocean views from my island lanai…
and, yes, I really do read all the books I review…
Thank you for you blog about Edith Wharton during the 150th anniversary of her birth! I am curious if you would be interested in reading the YA biography of Edith by Connie Nordhielm Wooldridge, The Brave Escape of Edith Wharton (Clarion 2010). Upon its release, the New York Times Book Review gave it high praise. If you are interested, please let me know, and I can send you a copy.
Thanks for the information on the YA book; I will look for it in my library and bookstore first – save you the postage
