Dan Chaon: Stay Awake: Stories
A little uneven, but overall an emotionally compelling collection of stories. (***)
Leigh W. Rutledge: The New Gay Book of Lists
The first book was mostly light-hearted and fun. This one was much more serious and included some truly gruesome entries. (***)
Betty MacDonald: The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle Treasury
Another of my childhood favorites. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle never loses her charm.
Richard Peck: Three Quarters Dead
Interesting idea, but characters and plot were a little under done. (***)
