We want to share with you news about books as well as offer up our reviews of what we're reading here at The Oakland Press.

Several people will contribute to this blog, including Joseph Szczesny, Stephen Frye, Valerie West and Julie Jacobson Hines. But we also want to hear from you.

Share your thoughts on books, news in the book industry, the various readers now available and soon to arrive, and literature in general.

Forget the book club, check us out here at The OP Book Stop and join the conversation.
