I've wanted to read Bad Mother, I heard an interview of Waldman on Fresh Air and if she writes like she talks I think her book would be pretty enjoyable.Amelia Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657299431819650897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-32991434064040754692009-08-28T09:29:01.299-04:002009-08-28T09:29:01.299-04:00ssheers - I sated some of that craving by requesti...ssheers - I sated some of that craving by requesting all the short story anthologies with Sookie stories in them; chek the Wikipedia site for a list. I enjoyed then all greatly, and got some serious backstory on Hadley, etc. <br /><br />bb - I had to Google her. Seriously. Sad, aren't I?<br /><br />Samanatha - I AM only halfway thru LB. we'll see. and the 39 Clues books are ok - at least they're better than the fricking Magic Treehouse tripe. Btw, I took the online test and *I*? Am an Ekaterina.

That's why I got a kindle.<br />I enjoyed the last Sookie; I seem to be addicted to Sookie.<br />I just started reading the first Harper - stayed up a little too late last night because I couldn't put it down.

It got mixed reviews on Amazon, and I'm a little burned out after catching up on the rest of the series, but I will probably buy this one in paperback eventually if it doesn't suck too badly.<br /><br /><i>Motherless Brooklyn</i> is one of my top five favorite books EVER, and definitely my favorite Lethem (although <i>Fortress of Solitude</i> is really good, too)(Lethem IS a genius, but a really uneven one, IMHO).<br /><br />And I CANNOT BELIEVE you bought <i>Geek Love</i>! YOU HATE THAT ONE. (And it's probably number 6 or 7 on my list of Favorite Books Evah.)<br /><br />Meanwhile I am STILL reading Harris's second Harper Connelly book and wishing Harper were a lot more like Sookie. And that she would stop hugging/kissing her brother so much. Because, ew. Seriously.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612452005428621885noreply@blogger.com
