<![CDATA[Carmine added 'Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd']]>
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77563248
to: Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd (Hardcover)byHolly Black bookshelves: short-stories,
young-adult
Short story odes to geekdom interspersed with single page comics. Sometimes very funny, sometimes very tedious (this is coming from someone who does not identify as geek, but maybe geek-lite....my fav part of the book is the comic outlining the lunch room hierarchy of the various geek clans...I could sit at two of the tables (band geek and theater tech/drama club tables) but would have no place at the computer nerd clan nor among the role players/gamers..though I did have some friends over there.
Good for a few chortles....possibly more for nostalgic adult geeks than for teens? (Buffy fans...you know who you are. Adult women knitting Jayne Cobb's hat...you know who you are.)

<![CDATA[Carmine added 'Would You Rather...']]>
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76350920
to: Would You Rather... (Paperback)byJohn Burningham bookshelves: picture-books
A brilliant launch pad to discussion whether you are with one child or with twenty. Just as the title implies, one must choose between a couple of choices...some pleasant and silly, others unpleasant. Not unlike life really. My partner and I play a similar game with each other entitled "This or that."
Not recommended at bedtime as it is likely to wind wee folks up with an endless barrage of silly what ifs....and you know that can go on FOREVER!
