Amazon doesn't show a page for Donald Breckinridge's new novel And Then, at the time of posting. I'm taking Jee Leong Koh's word that it will be available for a book party in New York in November. This image caption links to a picture-burdened, slow-loading, but interesting web site for multicultural books...I think JLK is trying to take up the mantle of Ishmael Reed, and as a reader I appreciate that.

Fair warning: Lisa De Pasquale's snarky book for "social justice warriors" comes recommended by Ann Coulter.



Lillian Duncan's novel, Puzzle House, is available in Kindle form only. Feh. If someone would be so kind as to print out a loose-leaf copy for me, I'd like to read it. It's about a person with neurofibromatosis type 2, where the benign tumors (neurofibromas) form in the brain rather than under the skin.

Puzzle House by [Duncan, Lillian]

How do youall feel about Callista Gingrich's writing a rhyme to help children remember the names of our First Ladies? I'm not sure, myself; anyway I'd like to see what she wrote.



Liz Curtis Higgs has a new book coming out:



Marsha Cooper recommends this guide to those who enjoy watching cats and would like to draw or paint them...Google says this picture link pasted in with MC's Amazon Associate link, which is as it should be. If you click on or hover over the image of Patricia Lynne's Classic Sketchbook Cats you should see a long URL containing the letters "marshas" toward the end. Click that if you want to buy the book and give MC her commission. She's worked hard at being a good, impersonal, marketing-oriented blogger for years now, and she was a faithful e-friend to those of us who knew her on Bubblews.



Despite our sinful natures, Abigail Marsh claims, we are (or at least some of us are) "wired to be good." I' be interested in her reasoning here. If you're interested enough to spend $20, after reading the book please send it to me.



Recommended by National Review staff, this one sounds like a delightful read--the author's other translations have been endorsed by all sorts of people including Ursula K. LeGuin:
