Welcome to Take Me Away!!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by Take Me Away, where I review books of a variety of genres. My favorite genres are literary and contemporary fiction, though I also enjoy some mystery/thrillers. I also enjoy sociological and psychological non-fiction. Check out the tabs across the top to navigate the site. All the reviews on this site are categorized by title (fiction or non-fiction) or by author. Check out the "About Jenny" section to learn a little more about me. Thanks again for stopping by, and feel free to leave a comment even if it's just to say hi! =)

New York Shelf





I am obsessed with New York City and anything related.
Seriously.
I always have been, but this adoration only increased after finally taking my first trip(s) there!

So it should be no surprise that I love books about NYC.  Since living there is not plausible for me at this time, I vicariously live there through books (and frequent trips)!  So I dedicated an entire shelf (ever increasing) to books that specifically take place there and that encompass the city -- that define the city.  Here's the original post I wrote about that.  The books I have on this shelf are listed below alphabetically by title; the ones I've reviewed here are linked and will be updated with links as I go.

These books in no way represent EVERY New York book in existence or even that I've read... just what I've obtained and chosen to keep in my collection. If you know of one you think I MUST add, feel free to contact me at jennala(at)cfl(dot)rr(dot)com.
