My daemon!
OK, I am a TOTAL goofball. And wouldn't it be nice if I'd post once in a while? Yes?
I just...um...I just wanted to show off my daemon:
He is settled. I figure even if *I* think he's wrong (er...humble?! Modest?!), he's mine. Of course, if he had been a spider named Yicky, I might not think that. -
BLACK SWAN GREEN, LONDON CALLING
This one will be shorter, I promise, literaticat. Because it's only two books, neither of which I read last night (I didn't read last night, except a poem or two--shocking! Well, OK, I read email and the NYT online. That don't count though.) (OK, I wrote that yesterday. Last night...um...didn't read either because I taught. Argh!)

THE BOY BOOK, FIRST IMPRESSIONS, DIVA, PAN'S, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, CHILDREN OF MEN, SWORD OF SHANNARA
Hello, brilliant muffinheads! I read all weekend. Oh, except when I watched movies. And went to see the UO women play Stanford. I admit it, I really wanted to see Tara Vanderveer (and Candace Wiggins). Funny thing is, I used to follow college women's bball not super-closely but with interest when I was first at Iowa, you know, a school that used to ( Read more... ) -
THE UNBINDING, A YEAR IN THE MERDE, VOLVER
Been reading a lot for work. Am trying for fun to rearead The Dubliners, which I haven't read since high school. It's fascinating to take in small doses, the reality of Dublin in the early 1900s, which of course I know jack-all about but seems vividly described in the first few stories. But I got distracted by an advance copy of Eireann Corrigan's ( Read more... ) -
Gregor, Terrier, Lulu Dark, awards, etc.
OK, no, it's not like I have a super-secret list I only post friends-locked entries to. I just suck at LJ right now. I would get out of the whole posting thing just as the children's literature blogs hot on up with their own awards and all. Not trendy, me ( Read more... ) -
DEOGRATIAS, LOUD SILENCE OF FRANCINE GREEN, QUEEN OF COOL
I know. I'm ridiculous. But anyway, ( here are three reviews of very different books. ) -
Better late than never
It's not like I haven't been reading YA books, travling to faroff places like Cucuron, France or Nuremberg, Germany, and doing a lot of writing.
But it is like, well, I'm not a good blogger anymore. OTOH, I just paid LJ for another year of my blog, so I should blog! OK, here are a few books I've read recently...

BASIC EIGHT, MIDNIGHTERS 2
Not similar books, really. And I know I read some others in there...the basic Suzi lament, and why I began the blog in the first place, so I'd remember what the heck I read! Oh well. About to go to Montana, where I'll read a lot more. I hope.

CITY OF TINY LIGHTS
Feeling kind of bored and boring. It's because the paper is finished, mostly, so the stress level from yesterday has gone way down, and I'm left with an adrenaline hangover. Better would be to start on next week's calendar etc. Right? RIGHT? OK, not convicing myself. Must have book break instead.
