Time Flies When You're Having Fun - 14th Blogiversary

by Donna Huber


Yesterday (January 15) was the 14th anniversary of Girl Who Reads. So many of the friends I made in the first few years have stopped blogging or have changed focus. I'm kind of shocked that I'm still going.

The Way Up is Death by Dan Hanks ~ a Review

by MK French


A red tower floating above the English countryside, and no one knows why it's there. A week after its appearance, a countdown of sorts begins, and thirteen strangers materialize in front of the tower. There is now a door, the word "Ascend," and machinations to funnel the people inside. Soon, it's clear that there is little else they can do but climb up.

We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida ~ a Review

by Donna Huber


Tucked away on the fifth floor of an old building at the end of a narrow alley in Kyoto, the Nakagyō Kokoro Clinic for the Soul can be found only by people who are struggling in their lives and who genuinely need help. The mysterious clinic offers a unique treatment to those who find their way there: it prescribes cats as medication. Patients are often puzzled by this unconventional prescription, but when they “take” their cat for the recommended duration, they witness profound transformations in their lives, guided by the playful, empathetic, and occasionally challenging yet endearing cats.
