Hi, I’m Liz.
I’m in my thirties, work at an academic library & have been absorbing words like water since I learned to read. I decided, after a few years of reading book review blogs, to start my own - hope you enjoy it. I’m especially inspired by Bookshelves of Doom.
My favorite recent books have included:
Bloom, Perfect You & Stealing Heaven all by Elizabeth Scott
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
King Dork by Frank Portman
The Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld
Older YA new classics: Someone Like You & This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen (actually all her titles are good – I’m a fan!), in addition to the Jessica Darling/Sloppy Firsts series by Megan McCafferty,
Contemporary adult fiction is also in heavy rotation – books like The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, The Dress Lodger by Sheri Holman and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, and anything by Sherman Alexie, have all had me reading until the wee hours of the morning.
