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! =)

Throwback Thursday


Throwback Thursday is a weekly/monthly event hosted by me here at Take Me Away. (I used to do it once a week, then once a month, and I'll admit it's now sort of sporadic!) It debuted on July 2, 2009.  The purpose is to highlight a "throwback" or an older book that deserves some recognition.

Throwbacks can be:
  • a book you've read and loved, or a book you've always wanted to read
  • a book that brings back memories for you
  • from as far back as your childhood, or just from last year
  • a classic or a hidden gem
Anyone can participate.  Just grab one of the icons and post your throwback on Thursday.  Then leave a comment on my Throwback Thursday so everyone can stop by your blog too!
