I’m a Stephen King fan. Have been for most of my reading life. A good number of my friends are King fans, too – and we take great pleasure discussing which books are our favorites and which ones maybe missed the mark. Clearly at the top of the consensus list are The Stand, The Shining,…
Kelly and Tom both did this good set of interview questions from BBAW (Book Bloggers Appreciation Week) and I figured I hadn’t done a meme in a while. This one offers a little view into how reading gets done around The Aerie. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? Rarely. I…
One of the things that a pale, befreckled person looks forward to during a beach vacation is reading. Reading on the shady deck in the morning, reading on the couch at midday and reading under an umbrella while out on the sand. And the book that I was most looking forward to reading was one…
Hi, my name is Stevil and I have a confession related to the next 30 Days of Books question: Day 23 – A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t It’s not so much about a particular book, but about an author. One of The Biggies. One of The Biggies of whose numerous…
As the weekend draws to a close and we’re all apparently still here, I spent some time giving thought to the next question in the 30 Days of Books list: Day 18 – A book that disappointed you Geez, there’s been lots of books that have been disappointments. Anything that I rated 2-stars or below on…
The next question in the 30 Days of Books list is a pretty high stakes one: Day 13 – Your favorite writer I mean, other than “Favorite Book” does it get any bigger than that for a reader? For me, I think this has to be an author that has consistently produced material that I have…
Since I began more actively reviewing books and keeping track of them on Goodreads over the past year or so, I’ve noticed a change in the way I think about books. Actually, “keeping track” of them is probably the wrong phrase – “keeping score” of them seems more appropriate. You see, anyone that knows me…
So, today’s question on the 30 Days of Books list is: Day 02 – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times Well, now that’s interesting because the question assumes that I would read a book – any book – four times or more. Four times? That seems like a lot to me. Maybe…
I’ve been feeling in a little bit of a blogging slump recently and there might not be anything to break me out of it than: a) a good meme or b) writing about books. Well, Ross came to the rescue last week with a great combo of the two: 30 Days of Books, in which…
Note: I don't know what's up with the vox-book formatting… sorry Over our cross-country trip at the Holidays last year, one of the books that I read was “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” by Steig Larsson. I had been getting into Nordic mysteries for a while, but surprisingly hadn’t read that particular book.…
