I have a stack of books I should be reading for review, but, like the folks in the order fulfillment of a mailorder company when their product turns out to be unexpectedly popular, I am out of stock on energy.
So, I haven’t read Commander Pants’ novel yet, and I’m woefully behind on everything, and [...]

You’re probably wondering why I’m reviewing a product like Respiratory Guard in a book blog. If you’ve ever wandered through the dusty stacks of a college library, or had an allergy attack in a used bookstore, you know what it’s like when you can’t breathe. If you’re me, you add chronic ENT issues to the [...]

Despite the fact that I’ve been reading enough mysteries lately to re-paper the rooms in several new orleans hotels, it’s children’s stories that are on my mind this week.
Last week, I had the wonderful experience of attending Peter Yarrow’s (of Peter, Paul and Mary) performance/book signing at the Jewish Community Center in Dallas. Unlike [...]

Heat Wave
by Richard Castle
Get it at Amazon >>
Richard Castle might be as fictional as belly fat on a Barbie ™ Doll, but his book, Heat Wave is a fast-paced mystery with just enough romance to keep it interesting.

I realize I haven’t posted a book review here in over a week, but that’s because I’m still reading everything. I’m mid-way through three novels, and while I could post other content, I’d rather talk about books than subject you all to adipex reviews, and the like.
Upcoming reviews here at Bibliotica will be Angela’s [...]

I don’t have a bell tv, just an LG flat panel, but I do like watching HD shows on it.
Currently, one of my favorite shows is Castle, as much because Nathan Fillion is in it, as because the witty banter rocks my boat. Of course, the title character is a mystery author, so what [...]

Indulge me in a bit of nostalgia, please?
As a child, I loved weekend trips to the library. I read quickly then, and still do, and so every trip to the library with mom would involve me filling my backpack with books. So many books went in that thing, that a gentle shove would have [...]
