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.
