Sunday, March 01, 2015. REVIEW: Dragonflies: Magnificent Creatures of Water, Air, and Land by Pieter van Dokkum. 10 out of 10 stars. Describes a lot of the symbolism I've come to associate with dragonflies over the years. When I moved from Massachusetts to California, and made some major life changes in the process, I got a dragonfly tattoo on my ankle which spoke to me of these very same changes I was experiencing in my own life. But I digress. I think this would make a great coffee table book, the pict...

Monday, March 30, 2015. REVIEW: The Witch of Painted Sorrows by M.J. Rose. 6 out of 10 stars. It's 1894 and twenty-five year old Sandrine Salome has just arrived at her grandmother's house in Paris, fleeing an abusive husband in New York who she believes also had a hand in her father's death. So I couldn't really connect to her. I actually felt sorry for her love interest, Julien, and was hoping he'd be smart enough to get away from her. And that is why, despite my earlier criticisms about the main chara...

Thursday, January 29, 2015. REVIEW: The Demon Catchers of Milan by Kat Beyer. 8 out of 10 stars. This was a fun book. I enjoyed experiencing the culture of Milan through Mia's eyes, and the descriptions depicted by the author were lush and vivid, totally immersing me in the story. In addition to a great sense of place, the author also did a wonderful job with the characters. All the major players were done so well I could picture them strolling through the streets of Milan by my side. 5 out of 10 stars.

Friday, December 19, 2014. REVIEW: Owl and the Japanese Circus by Kristi Charish. 8 out of 10 stars. Ex-archaeology student turned international antiquities thief—though she'd be loathe to admit to the thief part—Alix Hiboux, better known as Owl, has only one rule: No supernatural jobs. EVER! Or perhaps she's got nine lives like her cat! Speaking of cats, I've never been much of a cat person but I have to say that Captain rocks! An extremely smart Egyptian Mau that's bred to hunt vampires, Captain has ma...

Thursday, January 18, 2007. 13 things about prejudices and discrimination:. Actually 12 1 dedicated specially to my friend Shanna. Few days ago I was listening one radio “show” and guests were organizers of one conference about right of “sexual minorities” and about importance of law which will bring protection to those groups. That made me think about society in which I live? I remembered reaction of my army mates when they found out that I’m reading book where the main character is homosexual: th...

Thursday, January 25, 2007. 13 things About Serbs from the first hand:. Serbian mentality through Serbian cuisine! After finishing my e-mail I realized how huge it was (I hope it wasn’t too heavy for Casey). It was about who we (Serbs) are and what do we think about ourselves and what is our brand … etc.). I thought it might be interesting to share it with you . so here it is:. Well once, Belgrade (capital of Serbia) was world widely known as “City with open heart”. But what is then the Serbian brand?

Saturday, February 3, 2007. What a beautiful, beautiful novel… It’s one of the best (if not the best) coming-of-age story I’ve read. By his appearance Jason is a common boy who wouldn’t raise your attention, except if he try to talk and then get stuck with his stammering on some evil N. Depends of the day). Luckily his inner talk is so poetic and fluent even in the way he’s describing all that Hangman’s. Torture with Ns and Ss. 8230;]”I mean, who are your masters. 8220;Er … no.”.

Wednesday, February 14, 2007. 13 things about 14th Feb - St Trifun’s Day! You probably think that whole Christian world is celebrating 14th Feb as Valentine’s Day. Indeed we are celebrating 14th February but celebrating the Day of St Trifun. St Trifun (just like St Valentine) has lived in third century and was killed (just as St Valentine) because he refused to give up Christianity. In his village St Trifun continued to live modest life in great piety keeping gooses and healing people. New Roman Emperor ...
