A humorous and original book of charts and diagrams focused on modern anxieties, this would make a great gift for the over-thinkers and neurotics in your life! Funny and sweet, with lots of out of the box thinking. Inspirational for those who make ar ...more

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

An excellent fantasy novel, with twists I didn't see coming, and enough menace, adventure, magic, romance, and friendship to make a perfect blend. My only complaints are negligible: it's set at the turn of the century, but folks don't speak the way t ...more

The plot was fairly silly. One of those that unfolds in such a way that there's no figuring it out, just following along for a series of anticlimactic reveals. The artwork and inking, however, is absolutely striking! Creepy, gory, atmospheric, and in ...more

This kept me engaged and guessing throughout - vivid descriptions and believable characters add to the charm. A great first book in a series, I think middle-grade readers would love the puzzles as well as the honesty in depicting children's feelings ...more

A very well-written thriller, with twists I didn't see coming. Food for thought on the nature of the art world, as well as how mental illness can coexist or collide with artistic vision. Kept me reading, very entertaining. Would definitely read anoth ...more

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would, though it started off slowly. There are a number of unexpected twists and turns, so it reads like a combination family history and a suspenseful mystery. It's easy to visualize the settings, and both the hist ...more

Steven Wright

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.

Ted Kooser
After Years

Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.”
Ted Kooser, Delights and Shadows
