Splendors and Glooms
by Laura Amy Schlitz
read in January, 2013
The first few point-of-view shifts in this novel distracted me, but I persevered and soon forgot them. Here are splendors and glooms indeed: two orphans living in squalor in London, adopted by a sorcerer/puppeteer who does experiments on children; a...more

Starry River of the Sky
by Grace Lin (Goodreads Author)
read in December, 2012
Grace Lin has done it again, but even better. In this companion book to her prize-winning WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON, she follows the same scheme of weaving traditional tales into a larger original story. This time the characters and their dil...more

The Fur Person
by May Sarton
read in October, 2012
This book is more than fifty years old, but it's still around for a reason. May Sarton engages all her skill to create her cat character from a convincingly feline point of view. She cherishes and empathizes with her Tom Jones without sentimentalizin...more

Sue Cowing So true, Elaine. That's why I'm liking school visits more and more. You get to be with the people you write for and about, you don't have to worry if anyone besides your immediate family will show up, and elementary kids treat writers like rock stars!


Elaine Masters Sue, remembering how grateful I was years ago, when you showed up at one of my book signings downtown with a lei and a cheerful sit-awhile, I returned the favor yesterday with Jordan Seng at Logos. Sure enough, he was doing the usual book signing thing, trying to look engaged and cheerful, expectantly waiting for buyers who weren't showing up. I lei'd him and chatted awhile, commiserating how our book signings aren't like we dream of. I once had a friend ask how I handle writers cramps, signing all those books. LOL
