Adorable projects. I think I have a new hobby. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23598563 Sarah's review of Sew U: The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe
by Wendy Mullin

I loved this book. Those four stars are well-deserved. The only drawback is that Wendy needs to include more patterns. But she's got such a friendly, sweet voice for how-to. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24052590 Beautiful Shadow: A Life of Patricia Highsmith (Paperback) by Andrew Wilson

I read this ages ago, it seems, and in competition with the dude I was dating (he started earlier, but I had to finish first). Anyway, I was shocked by Rushdie's sense of humor. I dunno, I guess I thought the dude who had a fatwa out on him was probably going to be pretty dour. WRONG! "The Satanic Verses" is a lovely dose of mystic realism or realistic mysticism, along with a great examination of cultural identity, and the things that can go awry when you deny your peoples.
