All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Although this story is about war, and all the sadness and destruction that goes with that, it has a really beautiful fairy tale quality to it as well. A blind young girl grows up with her father in Paris. He is the locksmith at a museum, and he builds her a complete model of the …

My Christmas Wish List
I've never really done this before, because I feel kind of selfish thinking about what I want, but I thought just for fun, I'd do a Christmas wish list for myself. And actually, these are things I'd happily save up for and buy myself anyway, so it's not so much about "gimme" as it is …

Skylight Confessions by Alice Hoffman
A house made of glass, a boy whose father can't love him, a woman who finds love too late. Alice Hoffman writes about love and loss, with a hint of magic, in a way that no one else can. Her books feel like modern fairy tales, and they're always moving and a bit different. Orphaned …
Winter Style: Peach Off Shoulder Knit Dress
Winter is a hard time to dress for. Inside, you're cozy, but outside, it's freezing. I guess the trick is layers, but no one wants to look like the Michelin man! That's where dresses like this light knit come in. This one I just picked up in a sale at Boohoo.com, for a song. (Who …
