Book Reviews & More

"Bookmarks" magazine is a great way to see what others are saying about the current crop from the publishing industry. Kurt Vonnegut is quoted on their webpage, "Nowhere else have I found such thoughful and literate reportage on the state of the American soul, as that soul makes itself known in the books we write." Well- it's only a magazine that consolidates a lot of reviews, but the other features are what make the magazine stand out. Each issue features a classic author with a book-by-book profile. Other useful features each month are the top books in a specific genre, and in the non-fiction realm, recommendations on a specific topic. Currently a bi-montthly publication, I'm hoping it soon appears in my mailbox monthly.
