About

I am the bookthrasher.

  • I love to read
  • I love to talk about books
  • I love to write about books
  • I love libraries
  • I keep track of every book I read
  • I have a collection of bookmarks (seriously!)

I used to write book reviews for a local magazine. It was fun for a while, but after a couple of years it became a chore.

Now I’m happy to start reviewing again, this time on my own terms. I don’t plan on thrashing any books, though, it’s just a cool name courtesy of my husband. Besides, no one can do it better than the original book thrasher:

This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
