I love reading and it’s the thing I spend most of my free time doing. I also love writing book reviews. I’ve been thrilled by the response some of my reviews have received. Someone said “I get more from your book reviews than I do from the ones I read in the Times and the NYRB” and someone else told me I was “an incredible source for great reads.” This feedback makes me smile since there’s nothing at all better in the world (at least mine) than a good book. The links in the list below are to my reviews.
