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. This will also be the place to find out about local authors, new releases, upcoming book signings and what's going on at the York County libraries.
Interested in "The NewsVroom: A Year at the York County Libraries"? Click on the "NewsVroom visits" tab under "Local libraries" on the toolbar at the top of the page.
And, of course, we want to hear from you too. Email your book review to schain@ydr.com and we will post it on Book Buzz.
