I'm upping this to three stars because she mentioned Barbara Hambly and The Little White Horse.But honesty, if you are talking about dog books and you don't mention Albert Payson Terhune, there is something wrong with you.It's a little bit disorganized and the list descriptions are bit weird. I also...
"I live by what I call "the rule of fifty," which acknowledges that time is short and the world of books is immense. If you're fifty years old or younger, give every book about fifty pages before you decide to commit yourself to reading it, or give it up. If you're over fifty, which is when time get...
A great guide for those who read books from Oprah's book club or non-fiction. I don't usually read these "genres" so much of this book was wasted on me. But to be honest, I was able to remove a few books from my monstrous TBR based on Nancy Pearl's information - realizing a books subject matter did...
I stumbled across this book in the gift shop at NYC public library, and it seemed like a must-have for a bookworm like myself. Unfortunately it ended up being a very disappointing read indeed. In part because Nancy Pearl and I obviously don't really share a taste in books at all, but mostly because ...

I was really excited when I saw this book at the library. I'm always looking for books to add to my queue, and one of my librarian friends recommended the book to me. The problem, for me, with this sort of book, is that it all comes down to taste. My tastes don't really line up with the author's ...
This is also a revisited book. I found that I inconsciously got the McCall Smith and Jacqueline Winspears from this. It confirmed that I need to try Josephine Tey and start on rereading Batay Gur's police procedural.
I revisited the recommendations offering of Nancy Pearl Book Lust to see how much I had read in the last four years since I got the book. This is the kind of book I write in. I don't write in books unless it's a book that recs others books. So, I've discovered Dorothy Sayers, reread Maupin's Tales o...
I frequently remind myself of these great words of wisdom when I need to give myself permission to stop reading a book I'm not enjoying: "The point is, reading should be pure pleasure. You haven't failed the author by not enjoying the book. Instead, the author has, at that moment in your life, fai...
