I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

One Lovely Blog I’m a little late with this one, but Literary Escapism received the One Lovely Blog award from The Sordid’s Domain of Random Inspiration. I’ve been seeing this one floating around for awhile, but this is the first time I’ve received, so thank you Incident! The rules are […]
In loving memory to Dewey, a book blogger who made a HUGE impact on the blogging community, especially all book review blogs, welcome to the results for the Weekly Geeks Book Bloggers Top 10 of 2009.
For two weeks, Weekly Geekers nominated their top 10 books that were published in 2009. Then, we invited readers from all over to converge on the voting booth to cast their books for their favorite novel. There were 15 different categories with a total of 2216 votes cast. Holy cow. That was a lot close to 1000 more than last year.
So, without further ado, I give you the top 3 picks from each category…
I’m jumping on the bandwagon and starting to do little ‘reviewettes’ (as I’ve seen them called) on short stories found in anthologies. I’ll still review an entire anthology at one time, but only the ones with four or five stories. For those with bigger collections, I think this will be […]
Alpha Heroes hosted it during December, but it’s Literary Escapism’s turn to bring you Short Story Saturday. The idea is very easy…did you recently review a short story or anthology? Then share it. I’ll be reviewing Karen Mahoney’s Falling to Ash, which can be found in the The Eternal Kiss anthology, edited by Trisha Telep later today (I must do the grocery shopping first), but I want to see what everyone else is reading.
So…read anything good lately?

I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year. To start off the first Escapist Newsletter of the new year, we have the cover for King Maker by Maurice Broaddus, the first book in his Knights of Breton Court trilogy, which will be released March 4, 2010. Make sure you click on the image and enlarge it because it has some spectacular detail on it. I’m in love with the dragon on the building.
