whatcha readin'? {2018::book 4 - goal 24}

February 12, 2018 Arlene Giddings

I kind of love books
about books
.

And I love when authors
talk about writing and reading
and what has inspired them.

I really enjoyed this peek into what makes Anna Quindlen's
synapses fire.  She talks of being a voracious reader as a child
and I totally get that.
When I was a kid, reading was my main choice of past-time
(except for Saturday mornings...that was totally reserved for smurfs and captain caveman).

And...there were reading lists...
I think we all know how I feel about lists!
(if you are new here...I LOVE THEM).

Totally worth checking out...lots of information
and insights around censorship as well as thoughts
on what makes for "good writing". 
I definitely enjoyed reading this.

whatcha readin'? {2017::book 10 - goal 24}

September 25, 2017 Arlene Giddings

i love a book that pulls me in,
in to a story full of family dynamics
and secrets
and small town life...

small town life i totally get.
:)

i always enjoy anna quindlen's writing style
and this did not disappoint.
i loved the main character mimi
but i also adored her aunt in the attic room
and the relationship between her mom
and her sister.

pick it up...it's worth a read!
