I loathe the epistolary novel, but for some reason this book totally got me in the old right there. Though I have to admit in order to achieve the "quiet little prose" effect it was like he beat the words until they stopped whimpering.

** spoiler alert ** I struggled with this book. I struggled to believe that Callie thought her life was absolutely perfect in the beginning. I might have been able to believe this a bit more if the fact that she was in remission from cancer had been made clear from the beginning of the book. I feel like over half of the book was spent on character development that wasn't necessary to developing the story.

Easily the best book I've read this year, if not ever. Yes Means Yes! is an anthology of essays from women and trans folks (and a few men) of all backgrounds, white, black, Latina, Asian, poor, affluent, queer, hetero, sex workers, dominatrices, bloggers, organizers, educators, artists, and survivors, all answering the question, "How can we create a world without rape?" This book more than any other opened my eyes to the central importance of female sexual power to movement for progressive social change. Through dissecting sexual assault and "rape culture" from ALL angles, the writers articulate that the objectification and control of female bodies is literally the cornerstone of patriarchal society. Therefore efforts to reclaim female body sovereignty and sexual power are at the forefront of revolutionary change. This book does not just offer women tips on how to avoid sexual assault (although it does encourage self-defense classes!), it courageously directs blame at the male-dominated society that puts women in dangerous situations on a daily basis. Similarly, as should be obvious from the title, this work is not just about teaching men to respect "No", but showing women (all people really) how to love their bodies and embrace their sexuality, in whatever way it manifests. Enthusiastic consent, responding to "Yes!" and cautious "Maybes", and taking things one step at a time without assumptions or feelings of entitlement to orgasm, while respecting the ability of a sexual partner to say "Stop." at any moment, shows a way to the best and most liberatory sex. But the book covers so much more than consent. This is a feminist handbook for the masses: well-written, varied, practical, theoretical, yet accessible. It's hard to pick a favorite essay, but the one that spoke to me the most was "Killing Misogyny: A Personal Story of Love, Violence, and Strategies for Survival" by Cristina Meztli Tzintún, a personal story about overcoming abusive and controlling male partners. Cristina relates how she got involved with a "radical, feminist" man of color and bonded through activism. Before she knew it she was years into an abusive relationship that gave her STDs and an inability to leave him, despite his cheating on her with his students, half his age. The pattern mirrored her parents' disastrous marriage, which made it even more depressing that she could not break free of the cycle of abuse. While it's easy to demonize her partner, Alan, a more honest reading will recognize some of his patterns in each of us who have been male-socialized. For example, entitlement to women's bodies and lack of consideration for the emotional damage wrought by selfish actions are things I know I have to struggle against. Cristina's bravery in leaving Alan and demanding accountability for his assaults should encourage all of us, that misogyny can in fact be beaten and that personal transformation is an incredibly political act. I can't recommend this collection highly enough. Everyone needs to read this book.

Not bad. Never read her books before and got it from a friend. My type of book. concise and to the point. Not a lot of unnecessary dialogue.

I'm hard to please when it comes to Voluntary Simplicity. I guess I wanted to read something new on the topic, but didn't find it here.

Following Shea and his fellow adventurers on their journey to save the four lands from the evil of the Warlock Lord was an exciting and well written experience, albeit a bit reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings. The characters developed well and their relationships proved to grow more multifaceted as the pages turned. Descriptions of the environments and surroundings sometimes got bogged down with wordy and yet unspecific landscapes. The battle scene near the end also has a more "overview" type description which works for the point of view of the main characters, but doesn't allow the reader to feel like a part of the action. Overall it was a fantastic read and excites me to dive deeper into the world Terry Brooks has created.

GOOD READS SYNOPSIS: One miscarriage too many spelled the end of Max and Zoe Baxter's marriage. Though the former couple went quite separate ways, their fates remained entangled: After veering into alcoholism, Max is saved in multiple senses by his fundamentalist conversion; Zoe, for her part, finds healing relief in music therapy and the friendship, then romantic love with Vanessa, her counselor. After Zoe and Vanessa, now married, decide to have a baby, they realize that they must join battle with Max, who objects on both religious and financial grounds. Like her House Rules and several other previous Jodi Picoult novels, Sing You Home grapples with hot button issues. The novel also includes a CD of songs, each matched with a chapter in the book. Perfect for book clubs.(less)

This book was such an escape. I loved the characters, each with his or her own heartaches and joys. The premise is that the mother is dying of cancer, and as she prepares to die, she puts together letters for her daughters. They receive them after she dies, and each girl uses them to find her own truth. It was a beautiful book. Loved it! Best thing I've read this year.Things I Want My Daughters to Know

The whole Romance Genre of novels is based on a fundamental misunderstanding by women of what men want, and this book is no exception. In spite of a pinch of the paranormal, it is a churned out potboiler.
