I promise you the book reviews will return. I’m working on it right now and you’ll see them once I am ready and willing to share. These things take time after all.
For the time being, you’ll just have to be satisfied with my posts detailing the events that are happening in your neck of the woods.

- Matt Kindt, author, will be at Skylight Books signing copies and discussing his latest work Revolver. If you haven’t noticed I’ve pretty much come to grips with the existence of graphic novels recently and have come to really enjoy them. Not only because they are short but because more often than not they present a stark reality that hits home in more ways than your typical ficition. Revolver seems to fit this bill. It’s about a man battling between his dreams and reality and trying to figure out which is which.

- David Mitchell, author, will be at Skylight Books signing copies of his latest book The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. When I first saw Mr. Mitchell’s name there wasn’t a whole lot of recognition from me. Then, it dawned on me that I’d read something by Mitchell before.Although I didn’t recognize his name he is the author of the ever incredible Cloud Atlas, one of my all time favorite books. His latest novel is a historical piece set in Japan at the turn of the 19th century. I assume that this book, like Mitchell’s others will be full of vibrant language and characters and will, without doubt, be highly lauded as his others all have been.

- Joshua Braff, author, presents his book Peep Show and will be signing copies and discussing the book at Book Soup. So, I just saw a copy of this book in a bookstore the other day and I’ll admit I was a little thrown off by the title. I took a look at it and was actually a bit disappointed when it didn’t sound to be as juicy as the title lead me to believe. However, it did/does still sound like a pretty good read.
