*About*
My [former] boss gave me the most excellent idea. She said that she has been keeping a blog about the books that she has recently read and her thoughts on those books. So, I’m attempting the feat.
While I am tweaking this site, I do try to consistently do the following:
-
I will provide the citation of the book I am reviewing. These are presented in APA format.
-
I like eye candy and I hope to put in some cool photos of what I’ve been reading.
-
I can’t stand spoilers. I will not tell the endings of books.
-
I have a ratings system of pearls. The best score for a book, in my not so humble opinion, is a 5.
-
Lately, I’ve been hooked on the 1001 Books list. For now, I’m working on the core – the books on all editions.
Please enjoy . . .

Hi, Jorie. I just came across your web site as I recently read The Shack too and found it to be very powerful. I am a literary publicst based in San Diego and am working on the publicity for a memoir I think you might enjoy. It’s called The Suicide Index by Joan Wickersham and is a moving memoir about the loss of her father from suicide in 1991. Please let me know if I may send you a copy. Thanks!

Hi Jorie,
I wondered if you were aware that I’ve published a completely new version of the 1001 books spreadsheet…
It’s here if you want it

I would just love to have time to read and prepare for our upcoming Page 19 Book Club. We meet the first Wednesday of each month starting at 6 – 7Pm in the Corner Books Library at Houston’s First Baptist Church. So, Jorie, could you please show up???

It’s simple and sincere.
