Read Alert: Images of America
I’m currently obsessed with this little Images of America book that my husband found with pictures and notes from “Denver’s City Park and Whittier Neighborhoods.” Shawn M. Snow did a great job with the images and historical facts. Of course I’m a bit biased because this is my neighborhood, but then again I had a...
Read Alert: Book Alikes
Ever Googled “What should I read next?” Do it and you’ll get quite a few websites that actually generate suggestions for your next read. If I don’t have something coming in from a lit agent and I can’t get a good recommendation from a friend, I’m sometimes at a loss for choosing my next read....
Read Alert: Jacket Judging
I stumbled upon these images on the English Muse the other day, and I was instantly smitten. Don’t get me wrong: I read (and re-read) Fitzgerald for what’s inside the cover. But doesn’t reading a pretty book make you even more excited to read it? These particular images are from a Fitzgerald-specific art deco collection,...
Read Alert: Taft 2012
It is hard at first to formulate an opinion about Taft 2012. This is, most likely, because the concept of the book is so completely absurd. Jason Heller’s first novel paints a picture of the 2012 presidential campaign with an unexpected third-party candidate: the mysteriously resurrected William H. Taft. The book does not dwell on...
Read Alert: Conjugations of the Verb To Be
Glen Chamberlain’s collection of stories, Conjugations of the Verb To Be, is quite possibly the most depressing bit of prose I’ve ever encountered. The grueling 11-story collection is wrought with death, unfulfilled dreams, loneliness, and betrayal. And that in 193 pages the author could not muster one word of positivity is even more depressing than...
Read Alert: The Summer We Read Gatsby
I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Summer We Read Gatsby. The story was light-hearted but well thought out; it had a bit of mystery, a bit of history, a bit of romance–but not too much of any; and it incorporated some of my personal favorite reading subjects like highbrow New York, cooky artist...
Read Alert: From Blog to Book
I’ve been a blogger for a long time. When I first started blogging, as in, a personal blog–whether it was sharing a bit of life, jumping into the world of fashion, or really digging into what I think about life–I assumed my friends and family might read it. Honestly, that first stranger to comment and...
Read Alert: Sparkopolis
Mark your calendars for September 24, the day for Sparkopolis, the creative fundraising party hosted by the Rangeview Library Friends Foundation. Money raised through this year’s event will fund the construction of Nature Explore children’s gardens at Anythink libraries. Just as Anythink isn’t a typical library, Sparkopolis is unlike most fundraisers. By creating fun, interactive experiences through...
Read Alert: Mountain Brew
It’s no secret that Denver has a fantastic microbrew culture. In fact, we’re so laden with brew pubs and good beer, it can be a bit overwhelming to track it all down. Enter Ed Sealover’s new Mountain Brew: A Guide to Colorado’s Breweries. Sealover reviews breweries large and small, up and down the Front Range,...
Read Alert: E-Readers?
So today my husband and I, along with our six-month-old, packed up into our SUV and set out on a three week road trip across the country. We’ve got 3,000 miles to cover and 48-hours of driving if we did it straight, and that’s not mentioning all of the family time we’re going to be...
Read Alert: To Be Sung Underwater
At some point in life, you’ve probably considered running away from home. In younger days, it was an ill-formed plan, a backpack full of toys and snacks, and a string of whispers to various friends, “Whatever you do, don’t tell my parents.” I wonder how many of us would admit to wanting to run away...
