Hello and welcome! My name is Emma and I've been a bookseller for over a decade. I also write fantasy under the name E. M. Epps. This blog features my Two-Paragraph Book Reviews. One paragraph from me. One from the book. Here's why I keep it short.

Favorite Reads of 2011

Image Emma 4 January 2012

According to the useful stat-crunchers over at Goodreads, I read 140 books in 2011 – which, I grant you, includes 30 illustrated kids’ books. Many were good; some were irritating; some were boring; and some were great. Here’s my personal favorites – drumroll please! In alphabetical order:

Against a Dark Background
my review

The Anthologist
my review

Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
my review

Owl in Love
my review

Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold
my review

True Grit
my review

The Winter of Our Discontent
my review

Hmm…. one work of sci-fi, one modern lit, one classic lit, one nonfiction, one young adult fantasy, one adult fantasy, and one western. This is why I hate it when people ask me, “What do you read?”
