Lack of Progress on The Bone Clocks & Saturday Night at the Movies (by Jill)
Do you guys remember those posts I wrote last year about things I was doing while I was supposed to be reading Richard Powers’ Orfeo? I have a bad feeling I’m going to be writing another series of those while … Continue reading
Brief Update on David Mitchell’s The Bone Clocks (by Jill)
I did not make as much progress on The Bone Clocks over the past two days as I wanted to, but I think that with this book it might be better to proceed in a slow and steady manner … Continue reading
A Review of Kate Atkinson’s Human Croquet (by Bethany)

Final Thoughts on Ransom Riggs’ Library of Souls (by Jill)

The Poetics of George R.R. Martin: Further Thoughts on A Feast for Crows (by Bethany)
Pages read: 414 out of 978 I put this book aside a couple of months ago and have been reading other things, but this week I picked it up again and – big surprise! – it was just as violent … Continue reading
A Review of Anne Rice’s The Wolves of Midwinter (by Jill)
