I'm rereading George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Season 3 of Game of Thrones is awesome and it's been awhile since I've read the earlier books in the series. I'm a little irritated that Martin is releasing The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister at the end of this year. It's a lesson in patience, since I really want the next book in the series instead, and he takes so long to write them. Call it an irrational fear, but George isn't a young man and the times when I consider that he could potentially die before finishing the series are pearl-clutching moments. |

Just listened to the CD of:
"Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church" by Lauren Drain and Lisa Pulitzer" [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Banished-Surviving-Westboro-Baptist-Church/dp/1455512427/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368014671&sr=8-1&keywords=banished"]Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church: Lauren Drain, Lisa Pulitzer: 9781455512423: Amazon.com: Books[/ame] I think it's read by the author but I could be wrong. In any case the reading of it is just beautiful which makes a big difference to me for books on CD. It's an amazing book that I'm sure I will listen to again at some point. For those who don't know, Westboro Baptist Church is the "God Hates Fags" church. It's about how this girl, now woman, Lauren's, parents ended up moving their family to Kansas and joining the church. It's a fascinating in depth look at this religious cult and the psychology of the people involved from the inner workings of the church day to day, particularly Shirley Phelps. Highly recommended but chilling.

Here's what I borrowed from the library yesterday:
Patrick Swayze: One Last Dance. Leigh, Wendy (2009) Lives Like Loaded Guns: Emily Dickenson and Her Family's Feuds. Gordon, Lyndall (2010) Her Blue Body Everything We Know (Earthling Poems 1965-1990). Walker, Alice (2003). "There Are Things I Want You To Know" About Stieg Larsson and Me. Gabrielsson, Eva (2011). How Stella Got Her Groove Back. McMillan, Terry (1996). And I checked out a 4-disc dvd collection, a British drama series from Masterpiece Theatre (PBS): Upstairs, Downstairs (Anniversary Edition). eta: I'm half way through the book about Patrick Swayze which is not only about him, but also about Lisa (his wife), his mother (Patsy) and his father (Big Buddy) and their family of friends, but also incredibly insightful about the man himself, his accomplishments as a dancer and actor and how he owned his life - no matter the circumstance, no matter the outcome. I am enjoying this book immensely.

Read a great little piece of lesbian fiction titled "Lexington Connection" (by M.E. Logan, http://www.bellabooks.com/9781594933233-prod.html) about a week ago. Really enjoyed the characters and was happily surprised at the depth of the story considering the size of the book and the fact that the sexy times begin on Page 5. I recommend it.

Lesbian Romance Novels
I recently read a ton of these because I wanted to understand the formula so I could write one. Most of the ones I read are not badly written, very focused on the romance (not very literary), and pretty vanilla. Most are not butch-femme but a few hint at it. All in all, they are worth a read if you need some escape. I put a list together for a friend. Here it is:
The ones with a * are the ones I like the best! 1. Heart Block* - Melissa Brayden: Rich, white, blonde CEO who never gets into relationships (but sleeps around a lot), Emory. Her mother dies and she hires Sara (Latina, single mom, not identified as a lesbian) to clean out the mansion of a house and give everything away. Good characters and writing. 2. Wild Things* - Karen Kallmaker: Rich, white attorney/politician in AA after alcohol addiction avoids relationships in order to keep a squeaky clean image so she can run for State Senate, Sydney. Her brother is dating Faith, a U Chicago history professor who is very Catholic and still living with her very Catholic parents at age 34. Faith has a lesbian past she is trying to forget. 3. Waiting in the Wings - Melissa Brayden: Jenna is a blonde dancer/singer/actor who majored in musical theater and gets her first big break in the touring company of a hit show which stars Adrienne, a former teenage actress. Romance ensues until Jenna gets a big offer to work in LA and they break up. Four years later, they are cast in a movie together. 4. Come and Get Me - Julie Cannon: Lauren is an in-house attorney for a Fortune 500 company, not sure of her sexuality. Elliott is a rich head of her family's venture capital fund. Elliott sleeps around. They meet and at the point when things get steamy, Lauren tells Elliott this would be her first time with a woman. Elliott freaks, thinking she's being played. The rest of the book is their coming back together. 5. The Princess Affair* - Nell Stark: Princess Alexandra (Sasha) is second in line to the British throne and has a reputation as a party girl. She's a closeted lesbian who sleeps around a lot. Kerry is an Irish Catholic Rhodes Scholar who comes to Oxford to study architecture and meets Sasha. Can they reconcile their different worlds? 6. Too Close to Touch* - Georgia Beers: Gretchen is a sales executive starting a new job. Kylie is the girl next door and is Gretchen's assistant. But you can't fall in love with your boss or your assistant. Can you? 7. Love Waits - Gerri Hills: Classic reunion story. Gina, a former high school jock, and Ashleigh, a blonde cheerleader, fall in love in high school and break up their first year of college after a terrible miscommunication. Neither has found real love over the next 20 years. They attend their 20th high school reunion dreading seeing one another. 8. Starting From Scratch - Georgia Beers: Avery pines after the local bank branch manager, Elena, who she believes is out of her league. After being asked by her friend to coach a T ball team while her friend recuperates from surgery, Avery meets a little boy named Max. One day Max shows up at Avery's backyard and begins playing with her dog. Her mom comes by looking for him and she is none other than Elena. 9. Learning Curve* - Rachel Spangler: Ash, a butch about town who never sleeps with the same woman twice, is convinced by her best friend to sit in on a support group for LGBT youth where she meets Carrie, a women's studies professor who volunteers with the youth. The book is about their growing attraction, romance and how they reconcile their two different worlds. It also features the story of a young lesbian struggling to get away from her homophobic mother.

"The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith (lesbian romance)
Patricia Highsmith was an American novelist and short-story writer most widely known for her psychological thrillers, which led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train, has been adapted for stage and screen numerous times, notably by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. In addition to her acclaimed series about murderer Tom Ripley, she wrote many short stories, often macabre, satirical or tinged with black humor. Although she wrote specifically in the genre of crime fiction, her books have been lauded by various writers and critics as being artistic and thoughtful enough to rival mainstream literature. Michael Dirda observed, "Europeans honored her as a psychological novelist, part of an existentialist tradition represented by her own favorite writers, in particular Dostoevsky, Conrad, Kafka, Gide, and Camus So far my favorite quote from this book; "You’re about as weak as this match.” Carol held it burning for a moment after she lighted her cigarette. “But given the right conditions, you could burn a house down, couldn’t you?” Katniss~~ |

I'm reading Queer South Rising: Voices of a Contested Place, edited by Reta Ugena Whitlock.
From the back cover: Queer South Rising is a collection of essays about the South by people who identify as both Southern and queer. Essays explore the complexities of the Southern place while questioning notions of a universal, homogenous LGBT, queer, identity. Essays explore topics ranging from religion, politics, sexuality, race and education, inviting readers interested in the South and queer themes to engage with the narratives it holds. Whitlock has sought, in collecting these essays, to shatter perceptions about a nostalgic, romanticized Southern culture in general. "This is simply wonderful! Reading these pieces is invigorating- like getting a call from my mama- as if she had never died and had just been hiding out in the moutains somewhere. Suddenly I feel like I am not alone, that I have family close by. These essays are resonant powerful tales and wonderfully complicated examinations of what most of the world does not even acknowledge, my people and our messy lives." - Dorothy Allison I have an essay in the book, so yeah, I'd recommend it.
