Friends Like Us: Discussion with Belinda and Brooke

"I spend my days watching Ben and Jane become a couple, and I will myself to happiness.  I make myself a scientist of them, an expert in my narrow field, a Ben-and-Jane-ologist.  How close can I get without compromising my subject?  Move closer, a little closer."
~Friends Like Us, Lauren Fox

I think we may need to agree to disagree! Today I'm taking part in a small group discussion about the book  Friends Like Us by Lauren Fox, with Belinda from BookBelle and Brooke from Books Distilled.  Please stop by BookBelle to see what we have to say about Friends Like Us.

Mailbox Monday

I thought I'd get a chance to catch up on my reading, but it seems I was mistaken.  Here are the new books I received in the mail recently: Friends Like Us by Lauren Fox from Alfred A. Knopf for an upcoming discussion,  We Bury the Landscape by Kristine Ong Muslim, a collection of flash fiction inspired by various works of art, This Beautiful Life by Helen Schulman from TLC for a book blog tour, and two books from local author Alan H. Friedman, Goodnight, Sweetheart and Murdering Henry James. Please stay tuned for my reviews of these books.
