| I'll never trust another recommendation by Mindy Kaling. Even by chick-lit/romance standards, this falls short. The heroine is a brainless mess. The hero is wooden. There are countless improbable circumstances and events. And I found the sex scenes i ...more | |

| 3.5 stars. I love the dialogue in this found-family story: the characters tend to say exactly what they think, politeness be damned. But there are some improbable aspects. The protagonist, a 14-year-old runaway, shows up in a small town and almost im ...more | |

| Slice-of-life novel about a family of Japanese-American wheat cutters. Memorable characters, including the courageous twelve-year-old protagonist and her redoubtable and very funny grandmother. | |

| This volume describes Johnson's second Senate campaign. He'd lost his first to populist, corrupt Texas governor, Pappy O'Daniels, who managed to out-cheat him. Now his opponent is current gov, Coke Stevenson, who's highly respected for steadfast ethi ...more | |

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters: Book Two (My Favorite Thing is Monsters, #2)
by Emil Ferris (Goodreads Author) |
|
| I was happy to immerse myself again in Ferris's deliriously beautiful and terrifying world. This volume was a little more upbeat than Vol. 1, perhaps unrealistically so (I didn't quite buy the new girlfriend), and it left many loose ends. I'm hoping ...more | |

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”
