Mignon said: "Great characters so far, but the print is tiny and the book is thick... we'll see if it survives my baby attention span."

Mignon liked Therese's review of Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World: " I disliked this woman from the first page. Flaky, self-aggrandizing, selfish. "I prefer soup kitchens to charity banquets" and "all my friends were too white and too American." But I kept reading. And I disliked her more. The kind of mother who sto...

Wow, that was bad. One of those books wherein all the characters can read all the other characters' emotions by looking deep into their eyes. From now on, my least favorite literary technique. And what the hell is copper-colored hair? Shiny brown?

Another cabin book. I have a soft spot in my heart for Tony Hillerman, and this was fairly typical, except the moment where the detective figures it all out was not very clever. I was all, "Duh Leaphorn. I saw that like 4 chapters ago." Pretty much m...more
