Like most storytellers, Sally Felt is an adventurer at heart. Six foot tall and insatiably curious, Sally has spent the night in some odd places—in a hammock, on a riverboat, in a convent and in a whorehouse. She’s waded barefoot in the Mississippi and swum in the Amazon.

Her formative teen years included a student exchange to Middle Earth (aka, New Zealand) and a summer working as a chore girl on a dude ranch.

These days, Sally makes wishes on the new moon, refuses to dye her silver hair, enjoys fine sipping tequila and hopes to inherit her mother’s laugh. She’s also a decent Wii bowler.

Top 3 reasons readers make better lovers

Some of us are turned on by the scent of books. Some appreciate the well-toned muscles of readers who regularly heft hardcovers. There many reasons to snuggle up to someone who spends lots of time between the covers, but here are my top three reasons readers make better lovers.



Curiosity. Readers want to know what happens next. They’re insatiable. And when a passage really sparks a reaction, they’l Read more of this blog post »

Surprisingly fast-paced for its time.

I was going to say this book was less offensive than other early Newbery medalists in terms of casual racism, but then I noticed this note on the copyright page of the 2012 printing I got from the library: “In th

This was a quick read, because it’s a simple story: boy loses his heart to an abused, runaway dog and struggles to find a way to keep it.

Things I liked about it:

Marty is a well-adjusted 11 year old from a poor but fairly happy West Virginia family.

This book’s faux folksy spellin’ and aw-shucks grammar got on my nerves. (I didn’t mind the less than pristine grammar in Shiloh, another Newbury winner (1992), because it was a first person narrative from an 11 year old boy from a poor WV family.)
