Hi there, I have an incredibly common name, I even went to university with another Wendy White my age. This unfortunately means that GR folks are constantly attributing books to me that I never wrote. If it isn't about museums, I didn't write it.

I report on the incorrectly assigned books regularly, but new ones pop up within weeks. We Wendy Whites are prolific! So, apologies if you were looking for one of them and found me instead!

My three-year-old enjoyed this just as much as the first one. The first book already had lovely visuals, but the artist's continued refinement of their style is clear in this one, and the variety in environments was impressive. Ember gets some very e ...more

Murder in Tinseltown by Max Nightingale
"This was a great idea, but poor execution, unfortunately. I really wanted to like this, and in theory this would make for a great gift book, but the choose-your-own-adventure storylines just don't mash together as well as they should. There's no seam" Read more of this review »
Supremacy by Parmy Olson

Grave Peril by Jim  Butcher

Pretend this is a 2.5 star rating - the 0.5 is because I really enjoyed Harry's solution to defeating one of the primary antagonists. That was a neat idea!

I felt this one was much more of a slog to get through compared to books 1+2. I also continue

Quotes by Wendy White  (?)

“I play video games. Stars shooting out of trees really don't surprise me.”
Wendy White

“I wanted to go post-human, but I couldn't find the stamps.”
Wendy White

“Sometimes I wonder how normal normal people are, and I wonder that most in the grocery store.”
Elizabeth Moon, The Speed of Dark

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“I don't accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view. My view is that the moon is made of rock. If someone says to me 'Well, you haven't been there, have you? You haven't seen it for yourself, so my view that it is made of Norwegian Beaver Cheese is equally valid' - then I can't even be bothered to argue. There is such a thing as the burden of proof, and in the case of god, as in the case of the composition of the moon, this has shifted radically. God used to be the best explanation we'd got, and we've now got vastly better ones. God is no longer an explanation of anything, but has instead become something that would itself need an insurmountable amount of explaining. So I don't think that being convinced that there is no god is as irrational or arrogant a point of view as belief that there is. I don't think the matter calls for even-handedness at all.”
Douglas Adams

Thank you! It's going to be a good year! Look forward to continuing to read your reviews and writing.


Scribble Orca All the best with work and study in 2011, Wendy. Stay sane and happy, too!

Gwen Thanks for the poem, it's pretty cool. I especially like the way you mixed seemingly random existential statements with the question about dinner ;)

Keep writing those!
