Billed as a "Cinderella story", Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden is a fabulous story about a young woman's life as a geisha. When her mother grows ill, Chiyo's father sells her and her sister into slavery. Chiyo's sister is sold into prostitution, while Chiyo is sold to the geisha house of the Nitta family. Into this world Chiyo is thrust, having to endure harsh treatment from the house's

So I finished Chapter 9 and am very unhappy. It's not a writer's block as I got the thing out just fine. It's more like a dead end.I'm thinking of scratching the whole thing and starting again. I know I'm not supposed to. Write first, fix on draft 2. However, I might break this rule since it is so clearly not where I want it.

Dark, scary, and at times almost to painful to read - this is what I thought of Louise Murphy's The True Story of Hansel and Gretel.There are so many books out there about the Holocaust and there are a few that combine it's history with the idea of a fairytale. One example is Briar Rose by Jane Yolen. Both books are good and emotional reads that do not try to hide the horrors of the holocaust.

What a great book! I found a year or so back in the local bookshop and thought it sounded like an interesting read. It did not disappoint.I am not really a traditional mystery book fan. I've always been far more interested in books that contained a type of puzzle. As a child I loved The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. It was the solving the puzzles within the mystery that grabbed my attention. As

Let's hit from all sides today! My nephew had a scheduled surgery for his spine today - so my thoughts were already with him and his parents. He was born with a curvature of the spine, since there have been a few problems they scheduled him for surgery. As if that wasn't enough, we also found out my father-in-law passed away this morning. He was having chest pains for a few days and refused to go

So I've been home sick with a stomach bug for the last two days, that has lead to major philosophical discussion time with the Red King. Doesn't it always when he's involved? This time the discussion came to Superheros. That also seems to be a common topic in our house. Anyway here's his question:If you could pick a superhero to be, who would you pick? Why? Are you a Marvel or a DC hero? Are you

So the biggest news on the home front this summer was the discovery that we live within 1/3 mile of one of Connecticut's largest Superfund sites. Shock was the least of our emotions.Dictionary.com gives several meanings to the word Superfund.

Dark, mysterious, and an all together great read. This book was amazing. I found it when it first came out and read it over a rainy two day period. I was totally engrossed and was sad to see it end. After recommending it to several friends, I reread the book a few weeks ago and listened to the audio on my long commute. Both the audio and book still held me enthralled.

What can I say. I'm a gamer who lost herself within the realm of "City of Heroes" for well over a year. I saw this book and had to read it. No regrets. It was so much fun! A superhero and a supervillian, the tale told from both sides of the spandex. This book was fast paced, hilarious, and also disturbingly deep. Who could want more out of a pleasure read?That's the problem lately. With so much

I'm not sure where the time goes anymore? Everything seems to go by so fast. It's already October and I feel as if it were only June a moment ago. Is it an age thing? Am I feeling time slip past me quicker now than I did when I was younger? I'm not sure, but I have a feeling it may be more than that. I have a feeling it's partially the age we live in that is at fault as much as it is my own AGE.

Beauty has always been one of my favorite novels, dating back from when I first read it as a teen. About once a year, I pick it up and read it again. It is always like meeting up with an old friend, comforting and familiar. It was always like that, even the first time, because Beauty is a fairytale retelling. Primarily a retelling of Sleeping Beauty, but interwoven with a myriad of other classic

Three weeks ago the Dormouse, spent hours covering each keyboard in the lab with an expensive cover. Condoms for keyboards, the ultimate in protective gear! Within a few days we began to realize that the students were ripping of the covers and tossing them aside. When we confronted the students, we received an interesting answer. "I didn't like it," a student said, "so I took it off." No remorse.

Sabriel is a wonderful fantasy, a little dark but well written with a fairly unique story. The title character is the daughter of a powerful charter mage known only as Abhorsen. He is a type of guardian between the realms of life and death. Sabriel has spent most of her life attending a boarding school, outside of the walls that separate the modern lands from the Old Kingdom. She has been

So our big family Memorial day blast was a great success. So much in fact that blogs throughout the Tri-State area have been composed in it's praise. K went on and on about the wild rave that ran rampant through my suburban backyard. Wow! L wrote about the friendly neighborhood picnic, with good friends and good drinks.

Love and forgiveness. Dark and light. Opposites coming together for balance. These seem to be the thoughts at the center of The Tale of Despereaux : Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread by Kate Dicamillo. I read Despereaux to a third grade class when it was chosen as the Newbery Medal Book of 2004. Most of the children seemed enchanted by it. I wasn't

A nest of birds have taken up residence outside my bedroom window in the last few weeks. They sing beautiful arias to welcome the sun each and every morning, at 4 am. They do not cease for weekends. They do not notice that I have to be up by 5 am to get ready and drive 33 miles to work in a school of 700 preteen students. They seem to have very little understanding of what my snooze button means

I think in many areas of the book world many genres get a bum rap. Romances are trashy, Fantasy is childish, Science Fiction is for teen boys, and mysteries are for bored accountants who want more excitement. As a librarian I think I've heard almost all the stereotypes there are about books, I think I have also heard all the librarian stereotypes. Yes, some of the stereotypes may appear to be

The brilliant twist was the delicate scarab, hand-painted a lustrous gold.

Maidens who caught a glimpse of her glory were blessed by enchantment they would never forget. But outside her wondrous realm, dark whispers and rumors carries a message she could not ignore: "Unicorns are gone from the world."

The glory of a new romance. The touch of your lover's hand brushing against your thigh as he reaches for the popcorn in the movies. The light nibble on the ear that sends chills up and down your spine. Dates that last for hours, just containing conversation and some wine. Roses left on your pillow. Love letters written in haste to describe what no words can ever desirable. These are the

JT, my younger brother, and I were just hanging out this afternoon. We do this every once in a while, get together to just catch up on the bit of fluff that make up our lives. Near as I can tell, we are really the only siblings in our group of friends that have this kind of relationship. I love this fact about us, but there are times we don't agree. Today was one of them. The subject?

What happens when we die? For 15 year-old Liz Hall, it's not a question anymore. After she gets hit by a car, Liz finds herself on a cruise ship heading for the destination of Elsewhere. The life Liz knew is over and with it go all her dreams of the future. She will never turn 16, get her driver's license, go to the prom, or fall in love. Elsewhere, a perfect island community where the deceased

Well 2006 has arrived and with it I am making some major changes to this blog. If your a regular you've already noted out change of name. Holly will still be a main topic but I've wanted to start including other things as well. Happenings in my life beyond puppy training, like work and books and all the little dramas.My favorite book as a child was Alice's Adventures Through the Looking-Glass,

Last night brought our first semi-New England winter snow. I say semi because it wasn't nearly as much snow as it was suppose to be. Either way, I headed out the door with Holly this morning for our early day walk. She was enthralled with this white stuff that was falling all around us. She ran like crazy and kept sticking her snout into the snow drifts. She raced after the neighboring kids on

Holly has a boyfriend named Ewain. He is a month older than her and loves to play with her. (No worries both of them are fixed - so he's not that kind of boyfriend.) Ewain is an Irish Border Collie and is totally infatuated with Holly. He whines whenever we leave, gives up any toy or bone he has to her, and tries to snuggle with her. Ewain is probably the most easy-going dog I've ever met. He

9 Days. It rained for 9 days here in the Northeast. We were all so soaked that I thought none of us would ever dry out. To top it all off, our furnace went and died. So we are wet AND cold. Holly seems depressed, K is depressed, I'm depressed, and J is working so much none of us see him much. This week is suppose to be dry. We all hope so.

Just so everyone knows, Holly is doing well and healing up just fine. She wants to get into everything and meet everyone. Which leads me to my newest question.Okay, so I don't understand the need to pee whenever I meet someone new. Then again, I am not a puppy with an insatiable need to get to know everyone. This has been a slight problem with Holly from the beginning. Whenever someone walks into

Holly came home this afternoon from her stay at the hospital for her spaying and she's doing well. I spoke with the vet and she said that Holly was a pleasure to have overnight. She thinks we have a wonderful dog that is loving, bright, and sweet natured. Funny, we think so to.

Tonight J, Holly, and I went visiting to the neighbors! Mr. & Mrs. O live around the corner from us and are the proud pet parents of Ewain, a 5 1/2 month old Irish border collie. We've lived in our home for 2 years but it took Holly coming into our lives to meet our neighbors. . .Ironic isn't it? I really like Mr. & Mrs. O. And Holly really likes Ewain. They've had play dates and Ewain's even run

On the second floor of our house is a little room with no real function. This room is small and oddly shaped but has become a sort of haven to K and myself. It has become out Art/Crafting room. We painted the walls and put together the furniture. It is our space to enjoy ourselves, to escape the stresses of the world through our art! Holly loves joining us and she normally just sits at my feet

I love Holly. I never thought I'd feel this way for a pet, but it has happened. I love her cold nose and persistent love. She ALWAYS wants to be around me and is just happy that I come home to her. Sometimes, though, I just don't want to be bothered with her.Now that school is back in session, I'm finding it very hard to extract myself from the stress of the day. Sometimes I come home and she is

Little miss Holly was fine during her first week. Now with the start of the second week, nature has added an additional concern - heavy rainfall. This morning our backyard was flooded and I made the decision to keep Holly in the kitchen for the day. I knew she would have bathroom related accidents and she did. Now I am wondering if I should have left her outside in her pen. She has her dog house,

Well tomorrow starts my work year. Once again school will start and I will be there to man the library. This year, while the typical pre-school year jitters are starting, I am also extremely nervous about leaving Holly.J finished her dog house yesterday, it is the most luxurious thing I have ever seen. This dog house is insulated, with a cedar shingle roof, and two rooms. Still it doesn't fill

K brought home this really cool toy, for Holly, called the Buster Cube. This toy has just become Holly's favorite thing. It's basically a puzzle. As she plays with it some treats spill out. It looks like a die, with the food spilling out of the 1 side. The cube comes in two sizes, mini cube and food cube, which accommodates different size dogs. K bought Holly the mini. We fill it with her kibble

My work year start is quickly closing in. 5 days left and then? I'm really paranoid about Holly being home alone. J has decided she needs to stay outside while we are at work, so he built her a 7 ft by 9 ft pen within our back yard. (We do not have our yard fenced in and can't because of a shared driveway. Fencing would end up breaking town ordinances. So he fenced in part to make her a safe

After Holly being with us for 5 weeks, I've decided there is nothing in the world like puppy ears! I love them! So soft and pointy, I love to rub them. She also seems to enjoy our little ear rubbing bonding moment. She falls asleep almost every time I do it, and all my stress seems to melt away.

Well, another argument ensued today. This time because J came home late. I think much of it stems from J's career. He works as a maintenance troubleshooter for a series of senior apartments. When emergencies strike, he's on call. I understand they need him, at least I try to. It's very hard being "the other woman" to a husband's career.The argument had to do with Puppy classes that I would like

Holly lost her first tooth today. She came over to me and spit it out at my feet. I freaked out. She's been nipping and biting everything in the last few days and I thought maybe she broke her tooth. I looked closer and found that it really didn't seem broken. She's only four months old. I mean, should she be losing her baby teeth already? I ran to get my books and must confess they were

Anger is rushing up from the pit of my stomach like a volcano about to explode. I can feel my face turn red and I can almost hear the steam rushing out from my ears. Four weeks ago I might have screamed at someone, anyone. It wouldn't have mattered if they were at fault or not. If they were in my way, they may have suffered my wrath. Just for the record, my wrath is not a pretty thing. I have

Since Holly is my very first dog, I was at a complete lose of what to do with her. This may sound dumb but I was really concerned. How do I stop her from eating everything that isn't good for her? How do I get her to pay attention to me? How do I teach her simple commands that I assume will make all of our lives easier? Well, I'm not a librarian because I thought the glasses looked cool!

Lunar was our cat for seven years. He loved to play and run. He had a small cat bed near the fireplace that he liked to curl up in. He was graceful, agile, and the world's worst hunter. Oh, he tried to hunt this moth or that foot but it never quite worked out for him. The fact that he sounded like an elephant might have had something to do with his lack of predatory skills. Lunar was an Emperor
