Dinner with the Smileys by Sarah Smiley
Kelley and I read this one for our neighborhood book club. (Since she read it some time ago, I’m not sure she’ll post about it, so I didn’t label this one “Two Dorks, One Book.”) Dinner with the Smileys: One Military Family, … Continue reading

Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris
Well, this was GOING to be a Two Dorks, One Book feature post, but SOMEONE didn’t read it. So it’s just me. Reviewing alone again. Like a solitary, non bookdorky, book blogger. Because where are you, Kelley, and what are … Continue reading

Two Dorks, One Book: Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon
So, this is the series that wrecked my Goodreads goal for the year (by like 20 books, but whatever). AND, it was so not worth it. I mean, don’t get me wrong, overall, I think I liked the series as … Continue reading

Two Dorks, One Book: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Michelle says: So this is an enormous book in a ginormous series and I really wasn’t sure I was going to like it. Unfortunately, I was also afraid it would take me a long time to get through, so I … Continue reading
Two Dorks, One Book: Labor Day by Joyce Maynard
Michelle says: So, I liked Labor Day. It was a quick read and interesting in that it was our second consecutive book club selection that featured a child as narrator. I really felt for the disconnected boy Henry who had … Continue reading
Two Dorks, One Book: The Bear by Claire Cameron – A Publisher ARC
Ah, shit. This one’s gonna be all nature-y and survivalish. Totally not my kind of book at all, except FREE****, so there’s that. I KNOW everyone on the internet (weird, since this is a pre-release but many have already read … Continue reading

It’s been a long time since we’ve done a Two Dorks, One Book review although we have read a few of the same things of late. Anyway, Kelley and I read this for book club recently and I’m going … Continue reading
