A fitting matured continuation of the Weetzie Bat series: magical, vivid, meaningful, and a delight to read. Highly recommended
Weetzie Bat is an adult now--just turned forty, with her children in college, and her relationship with her secret agent lover man Max falling apart, Weetzie packs a suitcase, leaves her cottage, and moves to a hotel--an unusual hotel, where she meets a blue receptionist, a room-service faun, and an invisible cleaning lady, among all of the equally unusual guests. She plans to stay there until ...

A MOST UNUSUAL COLLECTION OF NATURE PHOTOS
GEMS OF THE NECKLACE IS A MOST UNUSUAL BOOK-FIRST OF ALL I LOVE HOW GARY MARMOLYA CAPTURED A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF EACH SEASON FOR EACH OF THE RESERVATIONS IN THE PARK SYSTEM. THEN THE BEST PART IS AT THE BACK OF THE BOOK WHERE HE EXPLAINS WHY HE TOOK THAT PARTICULAR PICTURE AND WHAT HE WAS FEELING AT THE TIME. SO THEN, WHEN YOU GO BACK TO LOOK AT THE PICTURE AGAIN,YOU VIEW IT WITH MORE MEANING ...

Cute and informative, Button It Up has me looking at buttons in a whole new way
Here's my review, excerpted from my blog Average Jane Crafter: I've admited before that I don't have much of a button collection. It's expanded a bit since the CRAFT Release Party back in June, when I ended up with the remains of the picked over buttons we'd provided for the craft project (Which, incidentally, was from Susan's previous book, Bead Simple) but I'm still a few rounds shy of a ...

Yann Margoza is a young gypsy boy who knows nothing of his past and his guardian, a dwarf named Têtu, will not tell him about the magical blood that they share. The mysterious past bleeds into the dramatic present when they are summoned for a private performance by the terrifying Count ...

WONDERFUL BOOK
I very much enjoyed reading this book. Ms. Martin thought of a wonderful idea-- each member of the BSC remembering something that happened in her/his life. This way the author could tell us about each character, but for once not going by a chronological order like she usually does. There were some chapters that I liked more and some chapters that I liked less. For example: I found it strange that ...

The Scam of the century
In 1785 The Queen's Necklace scandal broke over France. Queen Marie Antoinette was alleged to have bought a diamond necklace worth over 1.6 million franks and refused to pay for it, and had Cardinal Prince Rohan, a long time courtier out of favour, arrested for it along with his accomplices the Countess de la Motte-Valois and the famous mystic Count Cagliostro. This book is a series of ...

gems from Roberta
A long-time fan of Roberta Beary's haiku and senryu, I just wrote a lengthy review of this book at my weblog, f/k/a, which has an audience of lawyers and haiku poets. Most lovers of fine haiku don't know or care that Roberta has a law degree and is a real estate finance attorney. For them, she's not "the best lawyer haiku poet;" she's quite simply one of the best haiku poets alive -- and she has ...

A delight for readers of all ages!
From the minute you open this book, you become Blue's partner-in-crime, as she takes you along for a wild adventure. This story has a child-like simplicity, and is a delightful experience for readers of all ages. The recipes at the end are an added bonus that serve as clever souvenirs for the reader to take with them into the kitchen (the popcorn balls were my favorite)! I especially enjoyed ...

The Gift of Giving
It's unusual for books like "Gauchada" to see the light if day, & the fact that [other companies], in their pursuit of the mediocre, have chosen not to carry this title, is proof that beauty of spirit is difficult to find in the world these days. This is what "Gauchada" is about; it's about beauty of spirit, it's about the unselfish act of giving a gift out of love & seeking nothing in return. ...

Foster's Poems Speak to Through Generations
The thin thread of memory and misinformation that often connects many Americans to their immigrant ancestors becomes the rope that pulls the reader into Linda Nemec Foster's powerful poems about looking back. In language that is at once sensitive and utterly unsentimental, these poems dig into the past to retrieve the details through which readers can relive the poet's discoveries as she travels ...

good necklace collection
Even though I already have the projects in my magazine collection, still I find it much easier to have them all in one volume and these are the more outstanding projects also. Nine stringing projects, 16 stitching or beadweaving and six wirework. Each project is reprinted exactly as it was in the magazine. Since I think the best beadweaving is to be found in the pages of Bead and Button, then it ...

I loved this enchanting story and the illustrations.
I first read this book to my little girl in 1975. She was four. The prose is a little lengthy but the illustrations and the story make it worth the the effort. The book was in our public library and was terribly tattered and worn. We loved the magical drawings and the wonderful little story where being good and working hard is rewarded. And since I believe in fairies, I was delighted to ...
