Lumby Lines by Gail Fraser 09/23/07

Yes I can read two complete books in a day if I don’t do much else.
Though I did do laundry and tidy up the place, I didn’t do a great deal of other things yesterday but read.  I was pooped.
In any event, this woman left me a friend request on myspace, so I decided to [...]

Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent 09/23/07

So, Norah, a lesbian who is not transgendered, decides to see what it’s like to live life as a man, for the purpose of writing about it.
 Norah’s alter ego, Ned, joins a blue collar bowling league, stays at a monastary, gets a job as a salesman and joins a men’s group.  Ned also dates various women. [...]

The Ladies of Covington Send Their Love 09/16/07

Another series book.  I won’t buy another one but if one is in the library, I might pick it up.
 Three “old ladies” who live in a boarding house decide to move to another city in another state when one of them inherits a house.  It’s not a particularly compelling story but it wasn’t awful either.

Secrets of a Style Diva by Susie Coelho 09/21/07

I thought this was going to be a very different book than it turned out to be.

The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards 09/21/07

This book was amazing.  It may wind up among my favorites.
David Henry is a doctor who winds up delivering his own twins due to various circumstances.  It’s 1964.  They have a son and a daughter – the daughter is born with Down’s Syndrome.  He freaks and asks his nurse to take the baby to a [...]

The Girls in 3-B by Valerie Taylor 09/19/07

This is a re-issue of a pulp fiction book from the 60’s.  It’s called a lesbian book but only one character of the 3 main ones is a lesbian and then only in the very end.  On a good note, at least it’s a happy ending for the lesbian not a tragic story of suicide.  [...]

Fat Girl by Judith Moore 09/14/07

I’d read such good things about this book that I wanted to like it but I didn’t.  I was whiny and self-indulgent.  Some of her descriptions made me sick.  She clearly doesn’t like women very much.

Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot 09/10/07

Secretly, I love the Princess Diary books.  I don’t care if I’m 40 years old and these books are meant for teenagers.  I love them.  So there.
I have also read others of Meg Cabot’s such as “Size 12 is Not Fat” and “Size 14 is Not Fat Either.”  Which I liked.
Queen of Babble was cute [...]

Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison 09/12/07

This is another series.  I dont’ know why I like series books so much but I do.
So, the main character, Rachel Morgan, is a witch.  In her world, there are Inderlanders (witches, were-whatevers, vampires and other assorted creatures) and the rest of us.  I can’t remember what they call the non-magical.  Rachel is basically the [...]

Undead and Unreturnable by MaryJanice Davidson 09/09/07

Okay, the adventure continues.
In this, book the 4th, (why am I doing that?) QB continues her saga with Laura, who may not be who she appears to be.
QB read The Book of the Dead too long and goes all Evil Vampire on her best friends, Jess and Marc, as well as Tina, the long time [...]
