Breaking the Fourth Wall: Mid-month Book Reviews
http://breakingfourth.blogspot.com/2009/11/mid-month-book-reviews.html
Breaking the Fourth Wall. My personal "asides" about the books I've read. Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Dreamers of the Day. Incredible. This book is a fictional account of the Cairo Conference of 1921, something that has been written little about, but shaped the modern Middle East, to a large degree. Our main character is a "nobody" who falls in with the likes of Lawrence of Arabia and Winston Churchill. It's really fascinating, and despite the heavy subject matter, an easy and enjoyable read. Hey thanks ...

http://breakingfourth.blogspot.com/2008/12/best-of-2008.html
Breaking the Fourth Wall. My personal "asides" about the books I've read. Monday, December 29, 2008. Below is my list of Books Read in 2008. It was a very unusual year for me. Usually a strict fiction lover, this year I read 23 non-fiction books and 37 fiction books for a total of 60 books. So why are there still 108 books on my To Be Read pile? Best Fiction Read: Tie between "Zoli" and "The Commoner". Best Non-Fiction Read: "The Zen of Eating". Best Guilty Pleasure: "The Twilight Series". Yoga and the Q...

http://breakingfourth.blogspot.com/2008/01/books-of-2007.html
Breaking the Fourth Wall. My personal "asides" about the books I've read. Tuesday, January 1, 2008. Ok, I don't have time for a fancy list with links to all my reviews.

As usual, before the list, here's my dubious awards:. Best Book of the Year, hands down: The Book Thief. Worst Book of the Year, hands down: The Inheritance of Loss. Beasts...

Breaking the Fourth Wall. My personal "asides" about the books I've read. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Book Review: The Street of a Thousand Blossoms. I found Gail in person to be so charming and wonderful. As she talked about all of her books in succession, I realized that all of them sounded like they were my favorite kind of books! I loved it, and look forward to reading all of her books I've missed in the interim between her first book and this latest one. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. I don't require total...

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Book Reviews
http://breakingfourth.blogspot.com/2010/03/book-reviews.html
Breaking the Fourth Wall. My personal "asides" about the books I've read. Tuesday, March 2, 2010. We never really find out, except a hint that the father might be living again in his son? Anyway, too much vagueness for me. I found myself speed reading over long, interminable descriptions and such - never a good sign. The writing was absolutely fabulous, though - gotta give her that. The first third is about the beginnings of the Bolshevik revolution, and didn't capture my interest much. But the last ...

Breaking the Fourth Wall: August 2009
http://breakingfourth.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Breaking the Fourth Wall. My personal "asides" about the books I've read. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Book Review: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I have resisted reading this book for SO long! I feel like a split personality, though, because there were some things I didn't really like. It felt so much like a Harlequin to me at times.can we have a few less "he crushed her lips" and "she swooned against him" scenes, please? Maybe; it just seemed rather inauthentic to me. I love the time travel concept, and lo...
