I previewed this illuminated New Testament back in October. I got my review copy a few weeks later and it has hardly been in my hands since. 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
Even though my schedule is ridiculous, I can’t resist a Secret Santa! How about you? Well you can sign up here to play Secret Santa to some deserving Book Blogger – and get a little something for yourself in return. It’s time to start thinking about the holidays! Read more
I know that I missed last week, so I wanted to be sure and post something from the book I am currently reviewing, Ambrosia: about a culture, a very serious look at electronica music, its origins and the culture surrounding it. You know the rules here: take your current book, open it at random, pick two sentences and avoid spoilers.… Read more

What do you think of the stuff? Sad to say, I do not have any LT stuff. A bag would be handy. And I still need to pick up a few… Read more
I’m sorry that there hasn’t been much new to read here in a while. I’m battling The Cold of the Century, dealing with consultants and emissaries from The Corporate Office and trying to get ready for a 2-week business trip to Europe, so I am behind in my reading and my reviewing. In the next few weeks, you can look… Read more
My blog isn’t a political place, but I’m really excited about the upcoming election. I haven’t been able to volunteer as much as I have in the past because of my crazy travel schedule, and that schedule is keeping me home from the big event today: a rally in Cleveland with Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Bruce Springsteen. As much… Read more
I haven’t done one of these posts in a while, but I promise not to drown you in the deluge of new books this fall has brought to my door. It mainly came to mind because, as so often happens, when it rains, it pours. I have had a number of audiobooks on hold at the library and since they… Read more
