Yoshi Takebuchi _oshi_akebuchi — A fun, romantic, kind of soap-opera-y story set in 1923, when girls wanted to be "flappers" and bob their hair. The story switches between three girls, all wealthy socialites, and their adventures intertwine. Gloria, engaged to a rich young man, secretly wants to be a torch singer, and she falls in love with a black piano player. The scandal! Clara, her cousin, has come to Chicago from Pennsylvania and a secret life in NYC that she is trying to move beyond. But some secrets may be too big to hide...especially from Lorraine, the catty best friend who becomes very jealous of both Gloria and Clara. I had a lot of fun listening to this, although it seemed like it took a little while to get to the juicy bits. Nice romances and some mob-related action. A great setting and time period, and I learned one new piece of flapper slang: "barneymugging" means s.e.x.! Never heard of that one before!! The book's appropriate for 7th and 8th graders, who are reading Clique or Gossip Girl--there's nothing explicitly described but the dialogue and scenes suggest a little older. Lots of drinking of illegal booze. I am hooked and waiting for the sequel!

Caitlin Lumpkin keitlina — An alternate title for this book would have been Life with Father. Frank B. Gilbreth Sr. was the unquestionable central figure in this biography of a family. This professional efficiency expert applied his skills to the organization of the fourteen member family with the subtle and modifying influence of his loving spouse, Lillian. She made many of Gilbreth senior’s more eccentric applications of his professional expertise in their family life a lot more palatable for the off spring of this charming twosome. This book is a loving, humorous and touching tribute to a bygone age and to the parenting skills of two compatible marriage partners. The movie based on this book was and is a delightful viewing experience (the original 1930-1940's version, please). My favorite quote from the novel comes at the end. Some once asked Gilbreth Senior, “What do you want to save time for? What are you going to do with it”. His reply: “For work, if you love that best, for education, for beauty, for art, for pleasure, for mumblety-peg, if that’s where your heart lies”.
