Where the Mountain Meets the Moon

And here’s the problem with the Cybils – and with any awards really – books that don’t really “go together” are judged in the same category. How do you put Where the Mountain Meets the Moon in the same category with something like Farwalker or Dreamdark? 11 Birthdays is a completely different type of “fantasy [...]

I didn’t expect to like The Prince of Fenway Park, much less love it. But – it rocked. I mean it really did.
I know a good bit about baseball but I’m not a fan. I only watch it when we go to dinner at Booby’s and I’m facing a TV that is playing a [...]

So Punk Rock
Posted on April 26, 2010 - Filed Under 2010, Books in Bed, Comics & Graphic Novels, Young Adult | Leave a Comment
A mix between a YA novel and a graphic novel, So Punk Rock And Other Ways to Disappoint Your Mother was funny. A little predictable – but funny. Did you read Fat Kid Rules the World? The book about making the fat kid a rockstar drummer? Well… yea. Happens again. Predictable like that. All of [...]

None of these are on the Cybils list, one is a sequel, one was just plucked from the library shelf, and one was a recommendation from… I have no idea who or where.
First, book two in the Gunnerkrigg Court series – Research. Excellent, as I expected. We learned more about Annie’s past and more [...]

Damn Sassymonkey for posting this about the 1930s mini challenge. And damn the 1930s mini challenge for being so tempting!
I think I’ve decided on my three books:
The Gaudy Night – I haven’t read Sayers in a long time, so she’s in.
Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day – Because I never got around to reading it [...]
The Poison Eaters

I think I might have to stop saying things like, “I don’t really like short stories” because the last few books of short stories have been pretty darn good. Then again, not everyone can tell a story like Holly Black… The Poison Eaters was excellent. I don’t think there was a single story that I [...]

I hate the name of this book, The Clue of the Tapping Heels. I dunno why. I just don’t like it. TW looked at the cover last night and said “Hey! I read that one!” Well of course she did, TW has a thing for tap dancing.
