1 In an ironic twist of fate, I bought this book while at the Huntington Book Revue waiting for my own book launch party to start. My son handed it to me and I started leafing through pages, giggling at some of the text… a great way to manage those public speaking nerves. 2 Written […]

June’s Bookhungry pick was PARADISE by Judith McNaught and let met just say, WOW. I hadn’t read any of Judith’s work and so, had no idea what to expect. This is NOT light reading. It’s intense — emotionally, and physically simply because the book is so long. Here’s the summary: Ruthless corporate raider Matthew Farrell […]

This month, Bookhungry chose Veronica Roth’s DIVERGENT four – er, I mean for our discussion. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the first in a series I’m enormously excited to finish. Before my review, let me first summarize the plot. Beatrice Prior is sixteen years old. She and her brother, Caleb, are just eleven months apart, […]

This month, Book Hungry reviewed John Green’s An Abundance of Katherines. I picked up a copy from my library and I have to admit, the cover turned me off. Here’s why: MATH! This is why I’m a writer, people. I loathe math. But I have to admit, this was a unique story with some truly […]

This month, Book Hungry reviewed Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer. Have you ever thought about what scares you? I don’t mean Hollywood frights like Jason or Freddy Kruger, or the things that make you squeal like a little girl. I’m talking about the things that worm deep into your soul and […]

If you haven’t seen ABC’s hit show CASTLE, you won’t ‘get’ HEAT WAVE, written by… Richard Castle. In a bold marketing ploy, ABC decided to release a book ‘written’ by the same best-selling author who tags along with NYC detectives as they close cases in the Monday night prime-time crime drama. I don’t watch a […]

This month, Book Hungry reviewed my pick, a contemporary romance called Sweet As Sin, written by Inez Kelley. I’d first read (and posted a review of) this book last winter. I love this story so much, I conned the rest of my Book Hungry sisters into making it this month’s pick AND invited Ms. Kelley to […]

Our Book Hungry members were chatting one day when the subject of the Harry Potter books came up and several members admitted never having read them. *pause for gasp* As they have become a publishing phenomenon, this astounded me. I’ve read the series several times over now but decided to re-read our selection this month […]

It’s Bookhungry time! We are officially a whole year old. Congratulations to my fellow book fans. And they said it wouldn’t last… It’s been a year of great reads, great discussions and best of all – great reach. You ladies pulled me out of my reading rut. For that, I heart you. This month, we […]

A few days back, my friend Jeff Somers sent me this link containing news about a personal 3D printer that uses chocolate instead of ink to create chocolate shapes. Let’s pause for a moment to honor the inventors of this most amazing device. Is this not the coolest thing ever? It could be the most important invention […]
