This is the second title by writer Erik Larson that I have read recently. And, truth be told, I am already part-way through another of his works. So, that should indicate how much I enjoy his style of writing!

Cindy's Rating: 3 stars
So, I liked "My Ideal Bookshelf" for its graphic quality, and also because I liked looking at the titles that some of my favorite authors considered great books (and seeing if any of my favorites were on their lists). I liked this book for the same reasons.
The beginning starts out a little repetitive for me, all coming to the universal conclusion that independent bookstores are "souls of the community" and we don't want to lose that. But the best part was reading about the bookstores that inspired the authors in this book of essays. Some I knew and some I didn't, but I liked catching glimpses of the people behind the writers I love. -

Fantastic, as always Alice Munro! In this collection Munro seems to be dealing with the issue of death and aging. She rarely has an overall theme to her short stories but you can tell these selected stories are all considering similar topics. I loved the addition of the more personal and autobiographical stories at the end. Munro has a way of making everyone appear perfectly human-- flawed and thoughtful. A real pleasure to read! -
