About this author

edit data

Janel Laidman likes hats. She likes them so much, in fact, that she has worn quite a few, sometimes simultaneously. Right now she is wearing her author hat. Janel used to be a biochemist but now she is an entrepreneur, soup chef, knitwear designer and overwhelmed gardener living in the semi-wilds of Oregon. Some days she explores the farmers market and other days she visits sheep. Most days, however, she sits in front of a computer moving pixels around. You can find out a lot more about Janel if you google her.

Janel Laidman gave to: Man Walks Into a Room by Nicole Krauss	My rating:
This story by Nicole Krause has more of a plot than either History of Love, or Great House. Although I liked the story quite a bit, it didn't have the evocative wispy-ness that I enjoyed with Great House, nor the twisty-ness of The History of Love. S...more

Janel Laidman gave to: Great House by Nicole Krauss	My rating:
This is one of those books that you're not sure exactly what it's about, but you don't care because it is so beautiful that reading it is a pleasure and when you finish the last page, you want to start again.

I actually listened to this one on audiobook. The readers are fantastic, and the story is haunting and beautiful.
