Pregnant Bookworm Writes Book Review & Nonsensically Follows It With Meatball Review


To Read Pile gets new location.
News rocks neighborhood.

The best kind of reading happens on a gorgeous fall day, outside, while your husband is shampooing the rugs inside.  This actually happened to me while I finished up the Big Thick Book The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman.  That’s right, I haven’t given up on reading people – it was a big ‘un.

Blog Reader Valerie recommended this to me after the mishap recommendation fiasco that was Shine Shine Shine.  She wanted to make it up to this blog.  She sorta did.

The Dovekeepers  is good book, but pretty long and pretty slow.  It is a remarkable story – all of which is summarized on the back of the book.  I mistakenly read the back when I was only a few chapters in and it pretty much outlined what was going to happen in the last 20 pages.  Book Fail.  Bookworm Lesson:  Never read the back of a book that you have already committed to by adding it to a towering To Read pile.

Another free Bookworm Lesson to category under “Meatball:”  Make these.  The book gets 3 stars, the meatballs get five.   Mama likes protein!
