| Untitled 8 hours ago by Hope Murder...and All That Jazz by Robert J. Randisi My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book is the reminder that not all books that leap off shelves at libraries are unqualified successes. I found most of these stories mediocre - either they were mostly character sketches, or they were more excuses to put a p ... Squee! - hopeevey.livejournal.com ·  16 references |
| Untitled 8 hours ago by Hope Butcher Bird: A Novel Of The Dominion by Richard Kadrey My rating: 4 of 5 stars I downloaded this from the publisher's website, and was very glad I did. It's gripping, intelligent, gritty, cynical, but manages to be very real and touching at the same time. It's hard to say much about it giving away ...

| Untitled 8 hours ago by Hope What Are Big Girls Made Of?: Poems by Marge Piercy My rating: 5 of 5 stars Excellent, excellent collections of poems. So far, this is my favorite of her collections. I think she must have been about my age when she wrote them - so many speak to who I am now, and where I've been. I may have to buy tw ... Squee! - hopeevey.livejournal.com · 16 references |
| Untitled 8 hours ago by Hope Understanding Gay and Lesbian Youth: Lessons for Straight School Teachers, Counselors, and Administrators by David Campos This is an excellent resource for anyone working with LGBTQ youth, especially for folks who may be uncomfortable with the idea of being an ally.

The writing is as rich as the 1800's New Orleans setting. Benjamin January is a free man of color, back in New Orleans after years in Paris. He's an outstanding mu ...

| Untitled 3 days ago by Hope The Quotable Sandman: Memorable Lines from the Acclaimed Series by Neil Gaiman My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was part of Mah Sweetie's 13th Mensaversary gift to me. It's fun to remember the series through the quotations, and I enjoyed seeing the art in this different context. It's a small, hard-back ... Squee! - hopeevey.livejournal.com · 16 references |
| Untitled 3 days ago by Hope Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman My rating: 4 of 5 stars I strongly suspect that reading this would would be very different from hearing it. Lenny Henry's narration was simply outstanding. This is the first book I've heard him read, but I truly hope it's not the last. Frankly, I think I'd pick up just abo ...
