The Graveyard Book

You didn't think we'd just keep things same-same all the time here on The Book Studio, did you? Nah. We want to find new ways to talk about books and to help you figure out what to read.

Our latest feature is what women's magazines might call "service-y," in that vein -- Why bother reading something that isn't as great as it can possibly be? I for one believe that there are simply too many books out there to bother with one that isn't worth it for you (I won't say perfect; that happens, but there are so many variables...). 

So often there are Big Books getting lots of buzz -- and they don't deliver. But that doesn't mean that a) those Big Books don't have some good stuff in them or b) readers aren't hungry for what the buzz promised in the first place.
