The Books That Consume You

Those of you who know me in real life know that I’ve been reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon since July of this year. I’m currently right at the end of the 4th book. I’m enthralled. Let’s just say that when I have chunks of time to read, and then put the books down, [...]

The Website That Would Not Die

I’ve half-joked a couple of times in the last week or so that I was going to purchase the domain TheWebsiteThatWouldNotDie.com. After all, this would be the third time I’ve re-started American Bibliophile in some form or another. I have always been one of those people who takes on too much, and I confess that [...]

Challenge! Create a Soundtrack for Your Favorite Book

I’m really inspired today by our household’s latest toy, which is the 120GB Zune MP3 player. My husband is a musician, and we’ve thought about taking his collection digital for a while.  He was a little resistant because he’s a bit of a purist. All reservations aside, I managed to convince him to try it, [...]

50 Book Challenge (2009 Edition) – How was January?

January turned out to be a slow reading month for me, with just two books completed. I really wanted to add the half of another book I’ve been reading in there, but decided that would just be against the rules.
So, you can check out my list by clicking here.
What I really want to know is [...]

The Sunday Salon: My Week in Words

This week, I reviewed The Host by Stephenie Meyer (click here to read my thoughts). Also, I have a new site feature called “Coffee & A Book Discussion Carnival”. If you like to talk about good books, click here to find out how you can participate!
I’m still reading People of The Book by Geraldine Brooks, [...]

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

Regular readers will know that I enjoyed the Twilight series and the story, but did not especially care for the writing. I wasn’t sure Meyer was bringing anything new to the table, and I found the dialogue hard to read.  But I loved the story so much that I kept reading. Fast.  You know that’s saying [...]

New Feature: Coffee & A Book Discussion Carnival

I’d like to introduce a new feature here at AmericanBibliophile.com.  Toward the end of each month, I’ll post discussion questions on a book that I’ve read.  If you’ve read the book, post your ideas (you can answer one question or all of them) on your blog and then come back and sign Mr. Linky.  It’s a [...]
