My English Final: bookstores

One bracingly pleasant element of my college years was coming to class prepared to scribble away in the little "blue book" given to test my knowledge of some aspect of American or English literature. Although my blissful days of undergraduate literary critiques are long gone, I still occasionally get the hankering and here's where those otherwise-orphaned musings will find a home.

The cool photo header is my maternal grandfather, who, although his formal education ended with sixth grade, was a Chicago typesetter and a great reader who instilled his daughter with a love of books which she then passed on to me.

I sometimes wonder what those two would have thought had they known that their love for all things literary would inspire one of their descendants to write her own books--six nonfictions, one novel, and a few poems.

My latest literary adventure is writing for the Midwest Book Review, and you will find posts of my favorite recently read books here.
