I am a reader and book evangelist. For many years I have kept a reading journal with little descriptions of the books I read and dates I read them. Kind of a trail of book bread crumbs that chart my interests over a given course of time. This blog gives me a way to continue my journal and share my reading interests with others. My latest adventures in creating, dining, and traveling can be found at my website LindasOtherLife.com

The Female of the Species by Joyce Carol Oates
I read a few of the stories in this new short story collection by Joyce Carol Oates. Disturbing - as usual. One particular story, "Doll: A Romance of the Mississippi" about a child prostitute reminded me of Southern Gothic stories. I'm still trying to be faithful to Oates and bring home every new book.
