I never know what to say in these things. I like long walks on the beach, puppy dogs and Gordon Lightfoot songs? Yeah, right. Although I do like the beach and I have a dog and who doesn’t love The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Anyway, if you like what you see on the site and want more of my blatherings, follow @small_pond on twitter.

A lot of what’s on the blog are book reviews. Please note reviews with a title of “Review: [book title]” are written after reading a complimentary advance review copy provided by the publisher. The publisher does not see the review before it’s posted, nor does a publisher determine the content of the review.
