Permanent Rose and Other Interesting Things

I may have mentioned here before my great love for the Casson family from Hilary McKay’s novels starting with Saffy’s Angel. They have the whole oddball large family thing going for them — I don’t know that I’d want to have actually had siblings, but it’s fun to live vicariously. My absolute favorite character is […]

Inca Mummy Girl/I’ve Been Tagged

Have you ever been at an art museum down a dark spooky hall right off of the super scary Native American head and face mask exhibit waiting for your boyfriend who’s in the bathroom and leaning just slightly against the wall because you wore two inch heels that are starting to make your back hurt […]

You Are Killing Me

I’ve been reading oodles of good books lately and I’m not complaining or anything, of course, I love to read good books, but could the vivid descriptions of meat not be so damn vivid, well-written, and tempting??? It’s killing me. I don’t want to eat meat. Really, I don’t. I know that in reality the […]

Lots of Holiday Cheer

V. exciting news — we bought a new car and we’re moving!!! Yes, we don’t like to do things slowly around here. I also started my new job as an on call librarian and interviewed for another librarian job. All action, all the time. Thanks to everyone for their regrets about the red van. It […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you’re looking for something fun and light to read over the weekend, I highly recommend How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier. The basic idea is that everyone has their own special invisible fairy that helps them out in one way or another like a loose change finding fairy or a getting out […]

Who’s In Charge of This Story?

Whew. I just finished Inkdeath. It is a fat fat book. I’ve always loved the Inkheart books and how they make you think about being a writer and a reader. This one has quite a few moments where the author gives what I think is an incredibly accurate view of what’s going on in a […]

Fangs Retrospective

One week after Halloween, I’m re-sharing my vampire fangs photo for all of you who have told me how much you miss it. <<sigh>> The old days. I miss it too. Now in my new photo I’m just looking so so happy over there. And you all don’t even know why! You might think, oh, […]

Some Catching Up

Birthday week was chock full of fun. We spent Halloween in Port Townsend, WA — every single person in town was in the costume parade, I swear. We were among the very few watchers instead of walkers. It always feels good to fulfill a purpose. We also went to see I Am My Own Wife […]

Election Day

Today is the day! For everyone who did not vote early (which was truly fabulous btw), today is the day to get out there and vote. I hope everyone reading this is planning to take part in this world we live in and cast their ballot. Also, you should all read With Courage and Cloth: […]

Trixie Belden Question

I just finished Trixie Belden #10 — I don’t know what it is about fall that makes me want to read old school mysteries, but I seem to pick up a couple every year. My question is: Did the author name the dog Mr. Poo as a joke with full knowledge of the double meaning […]
