About this author

Writer, face painter, deeply committed to pie for breakfast.

I use LibraryThing to list the eleventy billion books I own, so I decided to use GoodReads to list the books I'm reading. I loved doing the Summer Reading Program as a kid and keeping a list of the books I read (um, way more than would fit on their little form). So since 2004 I've been keeping a record for my own amusement. And trying to do less re-reading. (But I love re-reading!)

Occasionally I rate a book or make comments on it, but mostly I don't. (I have a new baby. He eats all my time.) So the absence of stars does not mean I didn't like it. :)


TC 19 by K. Bird Lincoln, who has an awesome YA historical fantasy now available on Amazon called Tiger Lily. Here's my quote for it: "A beautifully-written genderbending tale of rebellious girls, shifting disguises, and forbidden magic, set against the vivid backdrop of ancient Japan."

Loved this book. The heroine is smart, strong, and awesome. If you liked Robin McKinley's The Hero & the Crown or Kristin Cashore's Fire, try this.

A secret house - no, a whole secret town, that vanished in the swamp decades ago! What's not to love?

It's continually amazing to me how Enright can develop stories that seem so simple, and yet are so perfect and funny and lovely.

I felt this one was very disappointing compared to Cheaper by the Dozen and Belles on Their Toes. It is not as funny, and unfortunately Carey's husband comes off as rather unpleasant. I reread it in 2010, hoping I'd misremembered, but....
