Awwwww baby!!!!

I was just in the bookstore a little while ago and I saw that Jaqueline Carey's latest novel is out in hardback.

drool...drool...drool...

I'm itching to read it, but I'm one of those weirdos who has to wait until it comes in paperback, and also, since I know she's fond of writing trilogies, I have to wait for all three to come out though. Yeah, I like the continuity of reading them all at once. However, I may have to break that rule, seeing as how I thought her Kushiel series was phenomenal.

So much so, I actually reviewed them.
Here they are! Kushiel's Dart, Kushiel's Chosen, and Kushiel's Avatar... and a few others, sorry, I'm a dork. The 3 reviews I'm talking about are at the bottom.

Being an observant girl I noticed something weird at the bookstore today. Why is it that most books considered to be "geared at minority audiences" are all grouped together in one shadowy corner of the store? I'm not talking just this store, but every book store? It's as if some master planner compiled the perfect plan-o-gram for keeping all of the "Minorities" out of a white man's bookstore? Or at least, out of sight in a white man's book store?

Seriously, in one 6 foot section they compile all of the lesbian studies and erotica, women's studies, gay male and transgender studies, general erotica, african/american studies, asian/american studies, latino/american studies, and any other "minority" they don't want wandering around the rest of the store. I was looking for the book
"Eros the Bittersweet" by Anne Carson and this saleslady quietly told me "If we have it it would be found in the erotic section." I mean, she leaned over to whisper it to me. Christ! It's just a book of essays for fuck sake!

Oh, and last time I knew women made up a majority of america's population. Granted, it's what the senate calls a "Simple Majority", but it's a majority none the less. So, why is it book stores assume that women only read romance? Why cram women studies in the tiny space in the corner? And why is it only mainstream books? They don't have anything that actually represents any of these genre's depth and sheer amount published, and this is not a tiny bookstore.

Oh well, griping is good sometimes, just felt like sharing.

QUESTIONS:

1. Out of these titles that have been sitting on my shelf for a while, which one should I read next?

"Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" by Gregory Macguire, "Vanity Fair" by William Thackery, or "The mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

2. What's the next movie you're most looking forward to seeing?

3. any music you are listening to right now?

yeah i have been very disappointed by a lot of the sets in the past few months. I did have a bunch of rejected ones in my pic folder until i got fed up and decided to delete them. Basically,they told me my set was not up to standards and then they went and put a bunch of blurry poor quality ones up. But it turns out they were just rejecting me because of being too BDSM...yeah right whatever a self proclaimed alternative porn site saying i am too alternative for them biggrin

1.Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister,a good fast read in my opinion
2.Life Aquatic
3.the sound of childrens hearts breaking as they realize santa isn't real wink
