My Life in Words and Phrases…

“A good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life, and as such it must surely be a necessary commodity.” – P. Fitzgerald’s The Bookshop

“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.” – Jane Austen’s Persuasion

 

I am the author of The Bookshop Hotel series, learn more at http://bookshophotel.com. 

The Bookshop Hotel

Authors/Publishers/Publicists – I would be overjoyed to accept review copies.   If you would like to send me a book to review, please contact me at andiklemm@rocketmail.com or on Twitter (@AnakaliaKlemm).  In addition to this blog, my reviews are usually posted on Shelfari, Goodreads, and  Facebook; links are shared on Twitter.   I mostly read general fiction, fantasy, and young adult, but read a little of everything else too, lately a lot of history and science. I am not interested in erotic romance.

At Good Books in the Woods

Please bury me in the library
In the clean, well-lighted stacks
Of Novels, History, Poetry
Right next to the Paperbacks.

Where the Kids’ Books dance
With True Romance
And the Dictionary dozes,
Please bury me in the library
With a dozen long-stemmed proses.

Way back by a rack of Magazines,
I won’t be sad too often
If they bury me in the library
With Bookworms in my coffin.

— J. Patrick Lewis
