About meCheck out my blog for my thoughts on books, reading, and how those two things interact with life. I am also the co-host of a book podcast called "What's Old is New," which focuses on classic literature and the modern literature it inspires. What's Old is New
In addition to my book blog, which I have operated since February of 2008, I am also providing targeted blog publicity for books and authors through my new business, Booklicity.

I'm on Part Five of "Gone with the Wind" and savoring it. I don't want it to end and can't think why it took so long to read it. Perhaps because the movie is so good, I fooled myself into thinking I actually had read it.
Your profile photo is priceless. Hopefully your groom shares or at least understands your addiction.

1st Quarter): January 1st, (long gone), -- March 31st.
The Outlander by Diana Gabaldon with an L.T. rating of 4.39.
2nd Quarter): April 1st -- June 30th.
Bleak House by Charles Dickens with an L.T. rating of 4.27.
3rd Quarter): July 1st -- September 30.
The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly with an L.T. rating of 4.05.
And for the 4th and final Quarter of 2011): October 1st -- December 31st.
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton also with an L.T. rating of 4.05.
And perhaps, if cyderry would be so kind to get together another list of L.T. 'highly rated' books come near the end of 2011, we will be able to smoothly segue into 2012. That would be such a treat.
