Green Toad Book Store The Green Toad is my local bookshop, which is the best place to go if you'd like a signed copy of Sweater Quest. I can drop down to the store and personalize a copy for you, too. Just drop Michele an email and she'll set you up.
Jennie Ketcham: I Am Jennie Raw, compelling, honest and graphic.
Dorothy Wickenden: Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West What struck me most is how resilient these two women were and how much cheer they seemed to approached every obstacle with. This is the sort of story that reminds you that history isn't just monolith but an enormous series of interlocked very local stories.
Captain Sig Hansen: North by Northwestern: A Seafaring Family on Deadly Alaskan Waters I have a major Deadliest Catch addiction. The Northwestern is the boat I would work on if forced at gunpoint to go fishing for crab in the Bering Sea. When I saw this for $2 at the local ice cream shop/antique store/farmstand, I had to pick it up. It is about what you'd expect. The writing is meh, the stories are interesting.
Tim Powers: Hide Me Among the Graves: A Novel If I may be so bold - and I'm only about halfway through, which means that there is still time for it to go horribly wrong - this might be among Powers best.
hahahaha!
