I have waiting for a couple of books to become available on my online library, and in the end settled for two. The first was from an adolescent literature author I like, Jerry Spinelli.
What I liked: The use of eggs to knit the story in the beginning and end.What I didn't like: I think I already read this book, but I don't remember most of the beginning or the end, so I just flipped through it quickly and didn't spend time reading it again... it must not have been that good if I don't remember it.
What I liked: Some really beautiful lines that could stand by themselves in a book of quotes.What I didn't like: I found her mid-life faith crisis boring, her failed marriage depressing, and her stories too vague.
What I would have liked to read: More personal anecdotes. While I liked her intelligent references to other writers, I couldn't connect to it.
So let me move on to the week in pictures.
