How to Buy a Love of Reading… Just buy Gibson’s book
Title: How to Buy a Love of Reading
Author: Tanya Egan Gibson
Publisher: Dutton, a member of Penguin group
Genre: Fiction
Length: 389 pages
I cannot begin to count, honestly, the number of times I was brought to tears by this book. Something that was supposed to be light and fun proved to be something beautiful and amazing, something that moved me more than words can express.
I cannot begin to count, honestly, the number I times I fell in love with Hunter. Over and over again, reminding me of boys I fell in love with in real life. Stranger still, reminding me of myself.
I found Carly amazing, and brave, and beautiful, a character who reminded me of people I both love and hate.
I found Gibson reminding me why I fell in love with Fitzgerald in high school and how I cherish every blessed word of Gatsby and every word written about it.
I found myself wanting to share this jewel with a dear friend who has already left this world and lonely because of all the disappointment in his missing it.
I sit here writing the most incoherent review in the immediate moment of completion because I’m blown away, dazed, and I don’t want it to end, even though the ending is so perfectly final.

Yeah. I met Tanya Egan Gibson at the 2011 San Francisco Writer’s Conference and I’ll see her again this year at the same conference. In addition to being a great writer, she came across as a very positive, encouraging lady and a fellow admirer of Fitzgerald. I wish her all the best. And if any of your readers want to see my longer review of her book, I hope you don’t mind that I’m including a direct link to it at http://davedigrazie.com/blog/review-how-to-buy-a-love-of-reading-by-tanya-egan-gibson/
