Book Review: The Mark by Jen Nadol
I was so captivated by this premise: Cassie can see a faint glow around the heads of people who are about to die. Why does she have such a strange power and does she have the moral responsibility to tell what she knows? Cassie is rather more robust than your typical teen. Once her nana dies, ...

Africa Trip Part 2: Huts and Tents
I'm still going through all my trip pictures (I took well over 500 - unusual for me), but I'll go ahead and show you a few places we spent the night. The scariest place we stayed in was a banda at Robert's Camp at Lake Baringo, Kenya where we were the ONLY guests. Bandas are simple huts with ...

Library Thing Tuesday (81) + Picture of Emmy
This week's question from Wendi : Have you ever participated in SantaThing (it is in its third year)? If so, what did you like? Dislike? Are you planning to participate this year? I never have, though I do think it sounds fun in theory. Since I've already signed up for a bookish Secret Santa ...

I'm Back! (Africa Trip Part 1)
Just got back this morning from my 18 day trip to Kenya and Tanzania (in case you've wondered why I haven't commented on your blog in ages...). I only spent about 3 hrs of that time on the Internet, and it really was a welcome break. I read 4 novels on my vacation, including two for the ...

Library Thing Tuesday (80) + Picture of Emmy
Still in Kenya, but I couldn't let you go a week without Emmy and Finn. This one I like to call - "well, I didn't want to work today anyway." Enjoy!

Book Review: How to Buy a Love of Reading by Tanya Egan Gibson
Carly has "never met a book she liked" so her well-to-do parents decide to hire an author to write a novel just for her - one she'll have to love. Hilarity ensues. This is an ambitious, smart novel which I highly enjoyed. Not only does it have a very original structure - sections are divided ...

Library Thing Tuesday (79) + Picture of Emmy
I'm in Kenya right now, so most likely no LT Tuesday today for me. But you still get Emmy and Finn (aren't I generous?). Our printer broke recently, but at least it is still good for something:

Library Thing Tuesday (78) + Picture of Emmy
Today's question from Wendi concerns the LibraryThing Buzz page: Were you aware that Library Thing had a Buzz page? Were you surprised by anything you saw or read on the Buzz page? Nope! Yet another thing about LibraryThing I wasn't aware of. There are so many fun features to play around with ...

Book Review: Sometimes We're Always Real Same Same by Mattox Roesch
Alaska is one of the few states I’ve never visited, so everything I know about it is secondhand. Unalakleet, a remote Alaskan village, sounded like an intriguing place to “virtually” visit, and so I waded into this debut novel. As seen through the eyes of 17 year old LA gang banger Cesar, who ...

Book Review: Lips Touch by Laini Taylor
I’ve just read three intoxicating stories about kisses with the power to change destinies. The first, Goblin Fruit , was my favorite (quite possibly the best thing I read all year) and concerns Kizzy, an “urgent, unkissed, wishful girl” growing up somewhere slightly outside modern day suburbia ...
