I got this cookbook back in late October, but I wanted to wait until I had a chance to try out a few of the recipes before reviewing it. I have no need to keep Kosher but that certainly won’t stop me from trying out a great cookbook. The cookbook has a terrific layout. My favorite thing: there is a… Read more
I am getting geared up for the holidays and luckily, I have a couple of holiday books to help me. You know how we play this game: take your current book, open it to a page and select two teaser sentences (no spoilers please) that will make us want to ask Santa for this book for Christmas. And that fits… Read more
It kills me, sometimes, how people die.–Death This is an unusual review for me. Normally, I like to let a book settle a bit, think about what I want to say and give my opinions time to come together. I finished The Book Thief only 9 hours ago. By the time I got through the last CD I was a… Read more
Someone in Amsterdam is enjoying my copy of Ambrosia. I have torn my luggage apart, but somehow my copy did not make the flight home with me. It’s sort of fitting, really, because according to Ambrosia, Amsterdam has a thriving electronic music scene.

I have passed it around to a number of people to get their opinions and over the long holiday weekend I had a chance to look at the comments I got and to… Read more
Okay, here we are again – ready for another little teaser. You know the rules: open your current book at random, select two teaser sentences (and don’t give away the surprise ending!) and post them here. I’m currently reading The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. I know I’m a little behind the curve on this one – most of the blogs… Read more
I am really pleased today to be hosting a special post from Jennie Shortridge, author of Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe. This is another book I finished during my travels and I am looking forward to posting my review later this week. (I really enjoyed it.) This has been a really fun blog tour, and I… Read more
Wow, it seems like ages since I had a chance to sit down and spend some quality time with my blog. Just to explain: I’ve been working on a very complicated and high-profile project at my office, involving transferring both our American and (eventually) our European labs to a brand new computer system. The development has been a long and… Read more
