	10/10 Oyceter gave to: Afro-American Women Writers, 1746-1933: An Anthology and Critical Guide (Hardcover) by Ann Allen Shockley bookshelves: black, currently-reading, feminism, history, non-fiction, race	my rating:
	read in October, 2007 Oyceter said: "So far, this is an excellent introduction to black women writers from 1746-1933. What's impressed me and saddened me most is how much Shockley put into compiling this: many of the writers are forgotten and overlooked, and in some cases, Shockley has ...more " add a comment

	09/17 Oyceter is currently reading: The Lies of Locke Lamora (Hardcover) by Scott Lynch bookshelves: currently-reading, fantasy, thief-kink	my rating:
	read in September, 2007 Oyceter said: "So far, I'm enjoying this because I am a total sucker for things about thieves. But part of that enjoyment has been hampered because dude! Where are the women? I think I've come across two women who actually speak during the entire book, and I'm half...more " add a comment

	Oyceter gave to: Mr. Wilson's Cabinet Of Wonder: Pronged Ants, Horned Humans, Mice on Toast, and Other Marvels of Jurassic Technology (Paperback) by Lawrence Weschler bookshelves: non-fiction, pop-science	my rating:
	read in December, 2007 Oyceter said: "I am not sure I can adequately describe the pure weirdness that is the Museum of Jurassic Technology, or the mixture of curiosity, wonder, and "Bzuh?!" that this book inspires. So I leave people to discover pronged ants, horned humans, and ...more " add a comment
	Oyceter gave to: Bloom (Paperback) by Elizabeth Scott (Goodreads author!) bookshelves: young-adult	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Oyceter said: "A somewhat shaky first book: the emotions ring true and very real, and I particularly like Scott's take on standard YA white girl angst tropes (it's a genre, really!). On the other hand, the pacing is incredibly off. The heroine is too static for mos...more " add a comment
	Oyceter gave to: Powers (Hardcover) by Ursula K. Le Guin bookshelves: fantasy, poc-protagonist, young-adult	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Oyceter said: "I liked Gav's slowly growing notions about slavery and liberty, but the book didn't end up working for me. The slavery plotline and the plotline about Gav's powers never connected, and as such, the ending wasn't very satisfactory, and I never felt I ...more " add a comment
	Oyceter gave to: Waltzing in the Dark: African American Vaudeville and Race Politics in the Swing Era (Hardcover) by Brenda Dixon Gottschild bookshelves: black, non-fiction, race	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Oyceter said: "An excellent overview of how race worked during the swing era, particularly for dancers. I was particularly interested in the bits about cultural appropriation (a lot) and monetary recompense (ha!), and how black arts consistently were taken over by ...more " add a comment
	Oyceter gave to: Luck of the Wheels (Paperback) by Megan Lindholm bookshelves: fantasy	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Oyceter said: "This has some of the best Ki and Vandien moments in the series, and it's got Vandien fencing. On the other hand, it also contains an element that nearly made me throw the book across the room, and I didn't buy Lindholm's handling of it at the end. F...more " add a comment
	Oyceter gave to: The Limbreth Gate (The Ki & Vandien Quartet) by Megan Lindholm bookshelves: fantasy	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Oyceter said: "The weakest of the Ki and Vandien books. Like Windsingers, too much time is spent on separate plotlines for Ki and Vandien, and Ki's storyline is particularly unsatisfying, as she is not Ki through most of it.

	Oyceter gave to: The Windsingers (Paperback) by Megan Lindholm bookshelves: fantasy	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Oyceter said: "There's too much time spent in plotlines separating Ki and Vandien, who are most interesting when they're interacting with each other. On the other hand, their reunion makes the wait worth it, and I particularly love the ending. Full review: http://oyceter.livejournal.com......more " add a comment
	Oyceter gave to: Harpy's Flight (Paperback) by Megan Lindholm bookshelves: fantasy, icy-heroine-kink	my rating:
	read in November, 2007 Oyceter said: "I adore Ki, the heroine, who is damaged and broken and out for revenge and falling to pieces while also completely controlled. Lindholm is great at conveying the claustrophobic atmosphere of Ki's in-laws' place, and at showing Ki's silent, devastatin...more " add a comment
