My Little Red Book

As the title and cover may suggest, this is a book about first periods. Women of various ages, family situations, and ethnicities share their memories of menarche. The stories cover the full range of emotions one might expect: glee, embarassment, self-satisfaction, disappointment, and misery. There are numerous stories collected in this volume, but each is quite short. I would have preferred longer pieces and fewer of them. After a point they become repetitive, and I learned that there is definitely such a thing as a first period trope. Longer narratives that contextualized first periods within the larger context of adolescence would have offered more variety. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the editor is an eighteen-year-old college student. This certainly shows some initiative. I do think that the book's title, taken from Mao's manifesto, shows more useful enthusiasm than truly thoughtful use of the metaphor. This book is not directed at any one particular audience, but will be most useful, I suspect, to girls. I certainly would have read such a book with morbid curiosity about twenty years ago.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book

I bought two of these journals, one for my 11 year old nephew and one for a nine year old boy. Both boys are fans of the "Wimpy Kid" Series. I sat with each of the boys after they received the gift, flipping through the pages and listening to their answers to the questions. They had a great time thinking about their responses and enjoyed sharing them with me. Not only did we laugh and have fun reading the book, but also I got to know them a bit better by hearing their answers, many of which require creativity and imaginiation.

My nephew was so excited by the book, that he read portions of it to his family, and any friends who visited, throughout the duration of my visit (when I gave him the book). His 12 year old brother was spotted reading the book on a few occasions too!

The book has a nice balance of questions about life accomplishments and experiences (i.e. Have you ever stayed up all night? ) and ideas about the future (i.e. How much will a cheeseburger cost in 20 years? Who will be President in 20 years?). It also provides space for children to draw cartoons.

I like the fact that children can do this book on their own and since the questions asked are not too personal, they can also sit with an adult and share their ideas and responses. Buy Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book!

The Feelings Book: The Care & Keeping of Your Emotions (American Girl)

I got this book for my 4th grader for Hannukah. While I know that reading is not her favorite thing to do, I was hoping she would pick up this book in a time of need. Sure enough, a few months later when some drama unfolded with her friends at school, she picked up the book! She actually followed the advice the book gave her and everything worked out perfectly. Now she reads the book over & over every night!
I highly recommend this book to all young girls who are experiencing the 'girl drama'.Buy The Feelings Book: The Care & Keeping of Your Emotions (American Girl)!

Return Engagement (Settling Accounts Trilogy, Book 1)

I downloaded this book to Kindle because it was one of the free offers for the month, and I thought I'd try a new author. I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it much. I normally compulsively finish books I begin, but I deleted this one from Content Manager after the first two chapters.

The storyline is that the South is fighting the North again, but this time, it is in the 1940's and the North has a Socialist President. And at least one female, single-mom, Socialist congresswoman. The story is written from the congresswoman's POV, and very much emphases intelligence and understanding over physical strength, so you'd think it would appeal to a woman, but it didn't hold my attention. I always felt as though I were reading a book, rather than slipping into another world.

I did enjoy the free download of Charlie Huston's book (Caught Stealing) and am looking forward to reading more of Huston's books. Buy Return Engagement (Settling Accounts Trilogy, Book 1)!
