Back to the Bedroom

Doesn't this sound like it's going to have a steamy sex scene?
It does not.
My beloved Stephanie Plum is over at someone else's house (someone who is keeping their copy of Four to Score well past the due date... AHEM), so we went for this audio selection instead. A nice romance is good once in a while.

Confessions of a condescending, egomaniacal, self-centered, smart-ass, or why you should never carry a Prada bag to the unemployment office

I was wrong. This book was awesome, totally relate-able and made me laugh out loud.
Yay, Jen.

Three to Get Deadly

I didn't like this one as much as the second one. But I'm still putting the fourth book on hold because I heart Stephanie Plum and her Grandma Mazur. Who didn't appear nearly enough in this book. Which is probably why I didn't like it as much.
In any case, it continues to make good commute listening.

Dedication
by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus.
I appreciated the shift in format from their two previous books, The Nanny Diaries and Citizen Girl, but ultimately I found this book predictable and kind of trite. It also unearthed a lot of pain from high school and junior high and reminded me that boys are dumb.
I probably would have liked this a lot better if I had read it, rather than listened to it because then it would have taken up 2 or 3 hours of my life, not 8 or 9.

Microserfs
I have read this book by Douglas Coupland many many times. This time, I tried to read it as though for the first time, knowing that RSL was doing just this.
I still love it.
But I noticed, I think for the first time, that Daniel's last name shifts periodically from "Underwood" to "Underhill."
Oh my goodness, that annoys me. If I'd noticed it on the first read, I never would have read it again.
Now it's on to All the Pretty Horses. My copy from the library has Matt Damon on the cover. HOTT!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8: The Long Way Home, Part 1
I liked the jump forward in time as mentioned already by the Rock Star Librarian. The televised seasons did this too - each new season began with actual time having passed over the summer hiatus. With this in mind, I suppose we are to assume that several years have passed in order to get us where we are when the story begins.
This would make sense considering there needed to be time to rally all slayers, and orchestrate the whole intense operation they've got going on here. And for Dawn to grow to ginormous proportions (???). I dislike Dawn even in comic book form.
Is Amy going to be our supervillian? Amy and her unidentified "boyfriend?" I am racking my brain trying to remember how Amy and Buffy left things. I will have to rewatch some episodes to get caught up.
My entry into Season 8 is so preliminary after this reading, that I don't feel like I can fully develop an opinion yet. I am anxiously checking my mailbox today in hopes that 2 and 3 will arrive.

Board Books
The Rock Star Librarian and I went to the public library's children's book sale today. I had heard it could get crowded... I did not expect it to be so CUTTHROAT with all the pushing and grabbing. Nonetheless, I managed to work my way through the rabid masses and nab some good finds for my daughter:
Puppies at Play (not a particularly good book, but it has picture of puppies, so there's that.)
Find the Duck
But Not the Hippopotamus (Sandra Boynton...)
Blue Hat, Green Hat (... is awesome!)
A House for Hermit Crab (Eric Carle... he's more than just a hungry caterpillar)
Baby Pets, Me & My Bear and Smile! (3 from the "Baby Faces" series because my kiddo digs looking at other babies)
Maybe My Baby
Good Morning Baby
Tickle Me Too
Undersea Open Sesame (An unbelievable find. I refuse to believe this lift-the-flap style book actually circulated because it is in near-perfect condition)
Maisy Likes Music (it has a built in rattle! Maisy rules!)

I decided this was "multi-cultural." I have actually read quite a bit of multi-cultural fiction that could have met my multi-cultural fiction requirement for Reader's Advisory (Midnight's Children, A Fine Balance, Beloved and everything else Toni Morrison has ever written, Ceremony, etc.), but I wanted to read something new and I really enjoyed this.

Cinderella's Lucky Ticket

I am not a reader of romance, so I purposely chose a series romance that I would NEVER read on my own to fulfill the romance requirement for my Readers' Advisory class.
It was pretty terrible. But I can see why they're addictive.

Science Fiction
I thought of another genre that I have read from.
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Another book that I absolutely love and have read several times, even though I don't consider myself into science fiction, is Inferno by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. It is a modern-day interpretation of Dante's Inferno, and I think it's brilliant.
