Banned Books Week 25-2
"Think for Yourself and Let Others Do the Same" is the slogan for Banned Books Week 2010 and I love it! The bookmarks, above, say it all.
One of the more surprising entries on the 2009/2010 Banned/Challenged list for me was:
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by Barbara Ehrenreich
Challenged at the Easton, Penn. School District
(2010), but retained despite a parent's claim the book promotes "economic fallacies" and socialist ideas, as well as advocating the use of illegal drugs and belittling Ch...

Friday Funny!
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight," the boy replied.
The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?"
The boy replied, "Not really, but they aren't for me they're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV, that if you use these, you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now he can't do either..."
S! Too, too funny!

Book and eBook Talk!
Just because I had a quick turnaround doesn't mean I forgot about reading material and thought I'd share what I have at the ready [and hope to finish:].The Case of the Missing Servant by Tarquin Hall was recommended by a friend of mine and I started it on the plane ride here. Thus far, it's utterly delightful, and I haven't wanted to put it down. Hall brings the reader to India with all the sites, flavors, and chaos. Another paperback I brought and would love to read is Provenance: How a Con M...

AAD2010 Update!
WOW! What a weekend! Lots happened, both book and party-wise, and I want to put you there to enjoy.
Now, while I took my camera, I didn't take one picture - or don't remember taking any. At the Masquerade Ball, Selena Illyria and I were talking, and I kept saying I should be taking pics of all the fabulous costumes, but that wasn't enough to get me to go upstairs to get the camera. I have a good reason though. I knew I wouldn't make it back down. And, on top of all that, after unpacking ...

Funny Friday!
The Black Bra (as told by a woman)I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is engaged, one is a mistress, and I have been married for 20+ years.
We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our men by greeting them at the door Wearing a black bra, stiletto heels and a mask over our eyes. We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes.
Here's how it all went.
My engaged friend
The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stile...

Have you ever heard of Wonder Woman Day V?
What about I-IV?
You should because it's a day during October which is national Domestic Violence Awareness month!
Okay, I hadn't heard of it until yesterday, but I think this is a fabulous way to put DVA in the spotlight. Wonder Woman is a great icon to have stand up for those that need a something more. There are events with costumed characters and comic creators attending being organized in both Portland, OR and Flemington, NJ on October 24 and a variety of auctions going on throughout the...

Book Talk!
When you walk into a bookstore, new to you or the one you always shop at, where do you go first?
Me? It's the magazines. I don't know why but if the magazine section sucks then I have a feeling the books will as well. Now, if there's no magazines at all, it's the kids section. That is where all the creative reading choices start and I want to see what's on offer.
The other day I went for a gift certificate at a Barnes & Noble I had been to in ages - just that little bit further away. Check...

Want some hot royal satyr loving?
Then you're in luck because book two in the American Satyr Series by Stella and Audra Price, To Collar and Keep has just been released!
A surrender to the unknown has never been sexier.
Olanis, the summer holiday is upon the Satyr clans once more and it is the time for Harlequin, prince of the Rummer clan, to claim his first and only female, the Grecian Satyr princess Arabella, sight unseen.
Unsure of what kind of woman his clan had brokered for him, he is both interested in the woman that would...
