Be warned:
t
he writing of many books is endless
[so do not believe everything you read]
& excessive study & 
devotion to books
 
is wearying to the body.
Ecclesiastes 12:12

Hey Book Lovers!

I can't begin to tell you how many clunkers I've put aside in the last few months, both fiction and non.  Too trashy, too preachy, too silly, too yawn-inducing.  It's not all the books' fault, it's simply where I am right now ... a preoccupied brain, shortened attention span, and a low tolerance for anything less than being completely captivated by the time I reach page 50.

I'm halfway through two non-fiction books and haven't quite decided if I'm ready to recommend them to you.

So when all is said and done, I'm canning the reviews this month and simply leaving you a whole lot of bookish bits and pieces to explore.  If you're a link-lover, this post's for you.
