  The Crafty Princess Diaries — Authority: 120
  I recently received a review copy of The Wrapping Scarf Revolution by Patricia Lee ( published by Leisure Arts ; $16.95 US), and when I first started reading through it, I have to admit I wasn’t really sure what to think about it.

  This and That — Authority: 142
  Ad astra per aspera. "Through hardships to the stars."

  Book Group Buzz - Discussion of Book Clubs, Reading Lists, and Literary News - Booklist Online — Authority: 422
  A few days ago, I put forth my miserly opinion that Christmas literature, for the most part, is ho, ho, horrible. I even asked you to convince me otherwise, and in response, fair readers, not one of you was stirring, not even a mouse. But I know book groups, and you will not yield to my well-meaning advice. As ...

Also, I want to give readers a choice in titles if the topic is going to be difficult for some to handle. Possibly no subject is more harrowing than the tragedy at Columbine High School in April, ...
