Do You Like Reading About Books?

by Elisa

I was hanging out in the magazine section at Borders the other day when I ran across a magazine called bookmarks: For Everyone Who Hasn’t Read Everything. Published bimonthly, this magazine is full of book reviews, book-related news, coming attractions, booklists, and interviews. Just flipping through it in the store I encountered a review of I’m Proud of You: My Friendship With Fred Rogers by Tim Madigan that I need to read now. They gave it four stars. I also enjoyed their Year in Books flashback to 2001. Did you remember that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling won the Hugo Award that year? I didn’t. What can I say? I had to buy it. Check it out if you ever get the chance. It may give you some ideas about what to read next.

    Sounds like a pretty cool magazine. I may have to see if the have it on the rack at my local bookstore.

    It’s the kind of thing you can scan at the rack or read with a cup of coffee in the store. That is, unless one of the articles grab you. I hope you like it Keith.
