Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction.

To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages.

Yes, John Irving=NEW NOVEL!

Yes, John Irving has released a new NOVEL! John Irving is my all time favorite modern writer. I can't wait to read this one. Let us know what you think of John Irving, here at The Things You Can Read!

"Reminiscent of A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving’s modern classic"-

Avenue of Mysteries
A NOVEL
by John Irving

“As close as one gets to a contemporary Dickens.” —TIME

With Avenue of Mysteries, John Irving returns to the themes that have made him one of our most beloved and celebrated literary titans. Juan Diego is a writer in his mid-fifties embarking on a trip to the Philippines, but it’s the dreams and memories of his impoverished childhood in a dump near Oaxaca, Mexico with his gifted sister, Lupe, that make him feel most alive. Now his past and present will collide to make a future that may have been foretold years ago. Avenue of Mysteries is the beguiling work of a

true storyteller.

Happy Reading & Writing☮
