Alice Vernon is the author of "Ghosted," a new book that examines 200 years of ghost hunting, including communication by séance and sleuthing through haunted houses. I couldn't resist delving into this interesting topic. Here's my review.

Here is a wonderful biography. I just finished it, as I continue to read books with large page counts (instead of adding them to the reading table and avoiding them). Also, two new books, fiction, and nonfiction. Should someone ask me what to read next, these two would be top of the list.

Tune in to All Sides Weekend Books, aired on Ohio NPR member station WOSU where I recommend great books to read. This includes books that don't get enough media attention, the good stories readers struggle to find.
