I got confused at a few points and at times found the writing dry, but I liked the book overall and especially the ending. It's largely a sorcerer who must search out a shadow he released. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64277700 to: Clockwork Phoenix 2: More Tales of Beauty and Strangeness (Paperback) by Mike Allen
bookshelves: magical-realism, short-stories
My favorite story is Catherynne Valente's "The Secret History of Mirrors." I loved the mythology of it and the Snow White references. I also liked "Never nor Never" by Forrest Aguirre and its discussion of time and "Alice in Wonderland." I would want to give this between 4 and 5 stars. A lot of the stories aren't exactly my "taste." I prefer a more fantasy feel. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78428172 to: Under in the Mere (Paperback) by Catherynne M. Valente
I like Arthurian mythology and this is a very unusual take on it. The prose is beautiful and poetic. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14528968 to: Breath (Mass Market Paperback) by Donna Jo Napoli

This book was a bit slow and very dark, so I didn't enjoy it as much as most fairy tale retellings (this one is on The Pied Piper). ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76176043 to: The Anger Habit in Relationships: A Communication Workbook for Relationships, Marriages and Partnerships (Paperback) by Carl Semmelroth
bookshelves: psychology
Although I could relate to a lot of the anger problems that can come up in relationships (such as trying to control the other person), I didn't relate to the examples. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22590044 to: Bound (Hardcover) by Donna Jo Napoli

This was a nice story based on a Chinese fairy tale that seems based on Cinderella. The mother is dead but turns into a fish. There were some difficult to read parts about animals... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76176919 to: The Anger Habit: Proven Principles To Calm The Stormy Mind (Paperback) by Carl Semmelroth
bookshelves: psychology
The examples were a bit boring, but I liked the idea of anger as being used as a means of control and how we are each responsible for our own anger. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77653619 The Hungry Self: Women, Eating and Identity (Paperback) by Kim Chernin
