The Lake House is Kate Morton's fifth book, but only the second one I've read. A couple of years ago, for Tell Me What to Read, I finally read The Secret Keeper, after several years of meaning to try her out (my mom and my sisters are all big fans of Kate Morton books). And I LOVED The Secret Keeper. It was phenomenal and I still remember finishing the last pages with thrill at discovering how the whole plot had unfolded. Then, I promptly proceeded to read zero more of her books. I have ... Read More about The Lake House by Kate Morton

Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson
One of the things I love about Tell Me What to Read is it helps me finally get around to reading books I've meant to read for, oh, eight years or so. Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians is one of those books I've been meaning to read all this time. See, here's the thing about a book where the villains are librarians ruling the world.

The Quarter of the Subtitle
I can tell I read a lot of non-fiction this quarter because good heavens, there are many long titles on this list. My wrists are a little stiff from all that typing (Ruby Oliver, your ridiculously long titles didn't help matters either). The Beach Trees by Karen White This book was really quite fantastic until the last twenty pages. When you write a mystery novel, the resolution of the mystery shouldn't make you want to throw the book. At least, if I was writing a mystery novel, I wouldn't ...
