Books Tasted - Everything bookly (and a few other things)

About Me

I'm just one person in a vast world of readers who happens to have the technology* to have her own book review site, instead of adding to the gazillion reviews already on Amazon, etc. My only qualifications are a love of reading, a loving sister-in-law who pesters me to post, and an English BA. Sometimes I get bored of just posting book reviews and post projects I'm working on, mostly craft stuff.

* completely thanks to my wonderful husband without whom I'd just use blogspot.

Review: Maurice

beth — Sat, Mar 24 2007

So this is another one of those books that Delia loaned me. We just read A Room with a View for book club, so Delia thought I might be interested in reading another one of E.M. Forster's books, Maurice too.

I cannot tell you how much I loved this book. I gobbled it up. It was so hard to put down when I had to go to bed or finish my lunch break every day.

Snippet Reviews: Book Club Readings 2004

beth — Thu, Mar 22 2007

We started off book club in March 2004 and managed to fit 5 books into the year. If you can do math, you might have figured out that meeting every 6 weeks should have had us reading 6 - 7 books. Sadly, real life gets in the way and spring breaks, weddings, births, and holidays often bump us into fewer meetings. D'oh!

Review: Unconfessed

beth — Mon, Mar 19 2007

Everytime I pop by the library (usually to check out 2 copies of the latest book club reading, 1 for me and 1 for my sister), I take a quick glance at the new books. Often, this is a total bust - the same "new" unappetizing books it's been for the past months. Last time though, I found something new and enticing - Unconfessed by Yvette Christianse (the e has an umlaut but I don't know how to blog that!).

Review: Dirty Sugar Cookies

beth — Mon, Mar 19 2007

My sister-in-law (and friend) Delia recently loaned me several books. The first one I read was Dirty Sugar Cookies by Ayun Halliday (natch, since it's about food, my favorite subject). Ayun has written several books including No Touch Monkey and writes the zine East Village Inky.

Brand Spankin' New!

beth — Fri, Mar 9 2007

So, my brilliant husband came up with the idea that I like reading so much, and I like talking about what I read too, so maybe I should start a blog to review these books. And, voila!
