Yikes... I feel like I am slowing down on this meme. But I'd like to try to complete the whole thing, sort of out of grim persistence. Also, I am not going to note the fact that it is after midnight and therefore not the 17th anymore. It is functionally the seventeenth of July, okay?

To keep with the writery/readery theme, then... Michelle ( Read more... )

Five entries in a row, man.

Laurence Yep. He gets a whole entry to himself.

Laurence Yep is a Chinese-American young adult fiction author whose second novel, Dragonwings, was published in 1975. He'd written a sci-fi young adult novel two years earlier, and it's good, too -- and strange in a way that for me, marks reasonable sci fi.

I don't know exactly why I haven't updated for shit, recently. It's summer; I've got the time. I'm doing pretty well at not falling into my general summer habit of staying up ridiculously late and then sleeping during the day. Partly, my summer is starting off with classes and trainings that don't really permit that ( Read more... )

Why do I like writers who are Mormons, sometimes? This chagrins me. Anne Perry, the Mormon murderess, then Shannon Hale, who is quite a good young adult fiction author (Enya Burning, The Goose Girl, and The Princess Academy), and now Stephenie Meyer, the author of a new vampire teen romance series, current darling of the masses. She is so much a ( Read more... )
