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…
Hi Rosemary! I’m Emma Dubin, and I work for Sky Pony Press, an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing (New York City). I’m loving your reviews on children’s and young adult literature — they’re making me thinking of a new mid-grade fantasy novel we’ve recently published: THE SECRET ROOM, by Antonia Michaelis. Please shoot me an email if you’re interested in reading it, and I’ll be more than happy to send you a copy!
Thanks for your note.
Wow–an island lanai sounds like a wonderful spot to be displaced to!
Not bad – but sometimes I miss the East Coast.
