Going Over: a 2014 Booklist Editors' Choice and, among two committed readers, a "best of"

Thank you, Booklist Editors, for including Going Over as one of 16 novels for older readers in your 2014 Editor's Choice books.

And thank you, Serena Agusto-Cox and Sarah Laurence, for being such interesting and committed readers—of many genres, of many books—and of sharing the stories you find with the rest of us. I'm honored to be on your year-end lists, among books that I, too, loved.

Serena Agusto-Cox, for those of you who might not know, is a poet and, beginning in 2015, a reader/writer offering her impressive skills through Poetic Book Tours. She blogs, intelligently and generously, about books here.

Sarah Laurence, meanwhile, is an artist and writer and reviewer, represented by Laura Geringer. I've always been intrigued by her take on books and have always be so very grateful that she has taken time to read and reflect on my own.
