I'm very excited to start reading:
'The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making' "Bibliophilic wyverns, enchanted woods, an evil Marquess, a magical talisman, dwarven customs agents, djinns, velocipedes--and that doesn't even take into account what's in the title of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. A fantastical tale that's somewhere between Lewis Carroll and Terry Pratchett, Cathrynne Valente's book follows twelve-year-old September, a girl from Omaha, Nebraska, who finds herself whisked away by a fast-talking gentleman called the Green Wind to the world of Fairyland where she has to retrieve a witch's spoon from the fickle Marquess. Still, Cathrynne Valente's imaginative cast of characters and spirited prose turn what could be a standard heroine-on-a-quest story into something on par with the best (and weirdest) classics. --Darryl Campbell"

I was at McKay the other evening and a young lady was telling her boyfriend that he haaaad to read it. I introduced myself and asked her why? What was so good about it? Sounded interesting enough, so I got it. Kinda interesting so far. Had to get all the Feegle voices out of my head after Wee Free Men, before I picked up the next one in the series. |

The bookstore just called to let me know this one is in. I think I will be able to pick it up tomorrow and start on it right away.
Hoping to get a Kindle for my birthday then I won't have to wait as long for books. |

The Sabriel series is REALLY good! REALLY REALLY. Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorrsen - are the three titles. like the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy (or more loosely the HP series) these are YA fiction that are based on a 'coming of age/rites of passage' format. BUT just likst HDM and HP when they are read by adults they have greater meaning and content. I loved the Sabriel series because the series is lead by a very strong young female character.

Just finished Born To Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall
This is an inspiring book for many runners. For this runner, it shed new light on the biomechanics of running and the bill of goods we've been sold as far as running shoes are concerned. Looking forward to shedding my running shoes for those Five Fingers now. The little sexist flourishes (and notable omissions!) irked me. |
