The Serpentine Library: December 2011
http://www.theserpentinelibrary.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. It's been pretty quiet around here lately. Not because I want it to be; life has just been kind of crazy. Family stuff is going on and my work schedule changed. So, there hasn't been a lot of time for blogging. Or rather, the time I would normally have for blogging is getting eaten up by other things. I'll be back the first week of January (January 3rd to be exact) with renewed enthusiasm and some reviews and book discussions. Posted by Maria (Serpentine Library). Parenting Pa...

http://www.theserpentinelibrary.com/2011/08/review-possess-by-gretchen-mcneil.html
Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Review - Possess by Gretchen McNeil. August 23, 2011. Gretchen McNeil’s debut novel, Possess. Was a great mix of scary and sweet grounded in current day San Francisco.
