Want free books?

Starting this month, I'm launching a new mailing last in conjunction with my regular update email. This new list is for Advanced Readers & Reviewers. In other words, though people who regularly leave reviews for their favorite books on their blog, Amazon, or on Goodreads. It's pretty simple to sign up: just fill out this…

Pass, Fail, Promise: World Politics Edition

Pass: In Order to Live by Yeonmi Park and Maryanne Vollers This is the first book in a while to send me into book coma. I finished listening to it, and then had to sit for a couple of hours, processing it. I went into it knowing nothing about Korea ouside of what I've gleaned…

Pass, Fail, Promise: Spring 2016 Edition

Pass: The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters This was the first Cat Winters book I've ever read, but purely by happenstance I wound up with several of her books on my list. The Cure for Dreaming is my first attempt at tackling that list, and I would like to proclaim it a rousing success.…

Robyn Schneider

Two Down

Well, it's the third and I've got two books knocked off my list. Just 66 more to go, according to my shelfari profile. Well, actually, only 50 for this year, but I've got more than that on my "I want to read this eventually" list. The first book of the new year was Hex Marks…
