Book List

As of 07/05/2009

• American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens’ Guide to Preserving your Assets by Jill Conner Browne – Can’t wait for the audio.
• Patty Jane’s House of Curl by Lorna Landvik – The story really sucked me in. I liked tone.
• Shimura Trouble by Sujata Massey – The last of the Rei Shimura books. Filling but not satisfying.
• Corpses, Coffins, and Crypts: A History of Burial by Penny Colman – Fascinating in the way of “Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers” by Mary Roach or any visit to an old graveyard.
• If I Was Your Girl by Ni-Ni Simone
• Mistakes Men Make by Daniel Billett – Truly hilarious. No truly, as in everything the author tells men not to do (grow a mullet or back hair, stuff a sock in your jock or sport a Shel Silverstein beard) are true.
• X-Rated Blood Suckers by Mario Acevedo
• Buffy Omnibus
• Girl in a Box by Sujata Massey – Yah! She’s back. All the elements from the first books. When she left Japan I left her. Rei seemed so humorless. Hugh seemed sexy but a real douche. She shines in Japan.
• Shortie Like Mine by Ni-Ni Smone
• Between Mom and Joe by Julie Anne Peters – Loved.
• Wolfsbane and Mistletoe
• Simple Italian Snacks

As of 06/17/2009

• The Boy and the Ghost by Robert Sans Souci – Children’s picture book. Loved the illustration. The story is an old fable.
• Cribs by MTV – I had to see a picture of Tommy Lee’s Starbucks in his house.
• House of Java by Mark Murphy – Graphic novel.
• The Bearskin Rug by Jennifer Stevenson – Not hot. You’ve got to do more than use the word cock to be hot.
• Date Like a Grown Up: Everything You Need, blah, blah, blah by Lisa Daily – Like any diet book on the market. Always a “new take” but really says the same thing; exercise and eat healthy. In other words, nothing new to add. Would probably be good for a less internet-savvy reader.
• Water Baby by Ross Campbell – Good art work, really tells the story, crappy as it was.
• Burnout by Rebecca Donner illustrated by Inaki Miranda – Graphic novel. About a girl who falls for her step brother who is an ecoterrorist.
