This is less a book review column and more a confession: I am a title underwriter who spends her weekdays reading the fine print on other people's dreams and her nights reading everything else. These are the ones I actually finished, mostly checked out from the Coral Gables branch or bought on a whim at Books & Books because I walked by and, bueno, it happened. Some I read dockside after a rowing practice with saltwater still in my hair, some with a glass of rioja after a long closing day. No particular order, just a shelf's worth of good company.

The list
