I just don't think there's going to be much action on this blog for a little while. My son is in a last-minute push to make Eagle Scout (he turns 18 on Aug 15) and life here is crazy.
I'm still working on The Green Man and vow to finish it since it's on my Birth Year Reading Challenge. But can I just say that I'm hating this book. I mean really hating it. I don't do that much with books, but I'm really fed up with Maurice's fixation on liquor and sex. It would be fine if this novel were up to Amis's usual standard and the fixation were actually funny. But it's not. It's just irritating. Hopefully, I'll be done with both the book and helping my Eagle-Scout-in-the -making soon and will be able to return to regularly scheduled blogging and blissful book reading.
Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me. Please Note: This is a book blog. It is not a platform for advertising. Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
The great thing about blogging is you can always come back to it!
