Booklist, 11/1/08
“Hammond and Heltzel offer their unique take on the genre…address[ing] issues that will appeal to women readers of any age, background, or frame of mind…Succinct, honest, and cannily in-tune, the Book Babes entertainingly deliver sure bets for good reads.”
Library Journal Xpress Review, 10/22/08
“Will appeal to bluestockings of every ilk. The authors’ bibliophilia is infectious, and all readers will benefit from their expert advice.”
St. Petersburg Times, 10/19/08
“Has appeal beyond the chick-lit set…A smart, reader-friendly compilation.”
Bookmarks, 12/08“We’re long-time fans of Hammond and Heltzel…Now they’ve poured their considerable knowledge into one book…It’s a smart, funny overview of contemporary literature—take a look.”
Seattle Times, 11/7
“Move over, Nancy Pearl, for Book Babes' faves…These ladies are no slouches in the literary department…[they] are quite serious about the books…A lively mix of works, guaranteed to keep you up reading way past your bedtime.”
Irene Levine, Huffington Post, 11/4/08
“Should be a reference book on every woman’s bookshelf.”
Elle magazine, 12/08“A nifty catalog of some 600 fiction and nonfiction titles…irresistibly grouped.”
Willamette Week, 11/5/08
“You really should read: Between the Covers…Inventive, genre-defying lists.”
Shelf Awareness, November 2008“Authors [have] witty and intelligent criteria…Part of the fun in
Between the Covers is their exuberance; part is in discovering the unexpected.”
Deseret News, 11/23/08
“Don’t be fooled by the clever title. The volume is really a compilation of book recommendations on topics of interest to women—and it’s not a guide to romance novels.”
Better TV, November 2008
“Book club members, we have found your bible.”
Product Description
With wit and wisdom, the bibliophile’s Ebert & Roeper recommend more than 600 books based on what women care about most. Between the Covers is organized around their wide-ranging curiosity—about themselves, friends and family, the larger world—and their concerns, from health to sex to managing their finances. With such sections as “Babes We Love” (Role Models Real and Imagined), “The Babe Inside” (Focusing on Body and Soul), and “Love, Sex & Second Chances,” this unique collection of fiction and nonfiction reflects how women really read.
