About this blog
What do book lovers enjoy almost as much as reading a book? Talking about it, of course! A group of us here at the Daily Record/Sunday News has decided to take our book talk beyond the newsroom.
We'll share what we like, and what we don't, about the books we are reading. We'll recommend the best paperback to tote to the beach and which new mystery to curl up with on a rainy day. This will also be the place to learn the latest news from the world of book publishing and what's doing with local writers.
Join the fun. We want to hear from you too. E-mail your book review to schain@ydr.com and we will post it on Book Buzz.

Recommended authors
Since this is my first blogging attempt, I thought I’d make a list of authors I’d recommend. Most of them are mystery or suspense writers whose books I’ve read for the mystery discussion group I attend at Borders.

And the oddest book title is …
“If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs.” Yikes! That’s right. That’s the title that won London’s Diagram Prize for the oddest title of the year.

“Gossip Girl” and “The Clique”
Not much to choose from between these two series for teen girls. Both are filled with shallow, one-dimensional characters intent on keeping their place in their group of “so-called” friends.
