Gone – Min Kym
Gone is the story of a woman with a violin, who had begun as a child prodigy on the violin, who had found her equivalent to a soul mate in the perfect violin for her, and from whom this violin … Continue reading
The Complete Lythande by Marion Zimmer Bradley
In a recent discussion in a Goodreads group about how an author’s (or narrator’s) bad behavior – meaning truly bad, as in child abuse and rape and murder, not simply being an utter brat online – impacts one’s perception of … Continue reading

Brooklyn on Fire – Lawrence H. Levy (LTER)
Single-word review: clunky. Being me, I can never let it stand at one word. The relationship between our heroine, Mary Handley, former sweatshop worker (as the reader is reminded over and over), and George Vanderbilt is … absurd. Is it … Continue reading
Wolverine’s Daughter by Doranna Durgin
I’ve been a casual fan of Doranna Durgin for a long time, and I’m always suckered into interested in her books when they pop up on the LibraryThing Early Reviewer lists. I won this a long, long time ago, and … Continue reading
Corridors of the Night – Anne Perry – David Colacci
It’s been a long, long while since I read an Anne Perry, but I’ve always liked the William Monk series best. (amnesia! What’s not to like?) I was tickled to win Corridors of the Night as a LibraryThing Early Reviewer. … Continue reading

2011: the year in review(s)
Happy New Year. I kind of missed Christmas, there – sorry about that; hope it was universally lovely. My mother told me a couple of weeks before Christmas that I was going to love what my brother got me. And … Continue reading
Pirate King: Laurie R. King
I won this book, to my intense delight, from LibraryThing’s Early Readers giveaway – many thanks. I did a read-through of most of the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes novels (how funny that Holmes takes second billing) in preparation for reading my … Continue reading

LTER: The Body in the Gazebo
I received the hardcover of The Body in the Gazebo as a LibraryThing Early Reader book, and I was tickled – I’ve liked Katherine Hall Page’s Faith Fairchild series from the beginning. It’s one of several “cozy mystery” series about … Continue reading
