This Author, Valerie Taylor also wrote "Return to Lesbos," a popular lesbian novel from the late seventies, and several other books in the Lesbian Pulp Fiction genre. I read them before time began. She had been married with children until she came out, and had one son, possibly two. When I first knew her, she was a dear woman, just past sixty years of age. Her life partner of many years, lesbian Lawyer Pearl Heart, had died just before we met. I was proud to call her my dear friend for years. We visited, chatted and exchanged letters for many years. She published a book of Poetry with another lesbian poet, Jeannette Foster, author Of Sex Variant Women in Literature, a mighty overview of lesbians in literature. She was involved in, and Keynote Speaker at two Lesbian Writer's Conferences in Chicago, organized by Marie Kuda and other lesbian Writers in the Chicago Area. When she retired from her long time job at a clipping service and from her daytime editor job, she moved, First to Margretville, New York, where she lived in the small town of her dreams. Making a fresh start in life in her early sixties. She had a brief but passionate affair with a widowed straight woman, who broke her heart. She spoke of this woman but once to me, when she later quipped, "These mixed marriages never work out." She had a very bad fall on the ice that winter, and broke some bones. When she recovered, her son helped her move across the country to relocate someplace with no ice. She always had pain where she had broken bones, Tucson, Arizona was the place she chose to rebuild her life from scratch yet another time; this time permanently. She became Mother Goddess to a whole new group of young lesbians, who loved her and lovingly cared for as she aged. A couple or three women moved in to care for her for several years, until she was unable to live at home. Then she moved into a nursing home, where her friends raised money to pay for the cost of her care, and checked on her daily until her quiet death. She died surrounded by her friends, and was mourned Nationally in Lesbian and Gay Media. I, too, mourned her, and took comfort in the fact that she had a productive, full life and was beloved by all who knew her.

After reading this "book", I am left speechless with not a thought in my mind to think of and go over. This "book," I repeat, with quotations simply because I do not think it is just a book. It is something much more than what you can combine in 607 pages. Murakami, a genius of his craft, has managed to bring life to an utterly complex and twisted story that MUST be read to fully appreciate his prose. You won't be able to stop thinking about it. You won't be able to not wonder what's going to happen next. You won't want to stop at all. I urge readers who appreciate a good -no, GREAT- book to pick up a Murakami title whether it being this one or another. Get yourself wrapped up in his intricate weaving; you won't want to get out.

It was an eye opener for me at first I didn't want to read it. My book club had picked it and I enjoyed it. I just saw the movie and thought they did a good job as well but, of course, the book is always better.
Gale Stanley’s Point of Beginning starts off with Jack and his revelation he’s attracted to his hot male co-worker Alex. Now Jack believes Alex is straight, but when he sees the object of his affection stripping in a Gentlemen’s Club that caters to rich gay men he decides to risk it all and show Alex how he really feels. Point of Beginning is a fun romp that hit all my romance buttons. It has the virginal Jack who just came out, and Alex, the more experienced man. Sparks fly as these two dance around their attraction finally succumbing to their passions in a fantasy induced night arranged by the owner of The Gentlemen’s Club. And prior to the big night of passion, there was well-written sexual tension between Alex and Jack that keep the reader engaged. Plus the addition of Alex’s ex, Richard to the plot as he played matchmaker between the men added a neat twist. The only niggle I had with the plot was the ‘Big Misunderstanding’ between Jack and Alex, meaning Jack thinking Alex was straight a good third of the book. Other than that minor point, I enjoyed the book and since that issue was resolved in a very satisfying manner, I can overlook it. If this is the first in a series, then I look forward to more in this universe, I especially want to find out more about St. Clair, the owner of The Gentlemen’s Club...there is a story there, I know it!

I learned that life isn't fair and anyone who says differently is selling something. I learned that when you really love someone, you tell them so in every sentence you write. I learned not to wear wigs in drafty halls. I learned that packing is an art form. I learned to spread my arms and legs out when falling in snowsand to slow myself down. I learned how to say "Booooooooooooooo" in several languages. I learned that it's possible to have fat thumbs. I learned that riding with four horses and switching between them as you ride will give you greater speed. I learned that true love is the greatest thing in the world, except for cough drops. I'll stop there.
classic! :)

What can I say, I just love Chet the Jet. " I felt a breeze behind me; moments later, I realized it was my tail." I believe he thinks like all dogs think--in the hear and now, obsessed with food, loyal to a fault. That said, I thought the plot in this third book was a bit thin and, well, far-fetched (disappearance of a circus elephant . . .), but I still lap up whatever Chet is serving.

Although I have read all four books I have chosen to review Elizabeth I, Red Rose of the House of Tudor, because of my interest in English history. This is the fictional diary of Princess Elizabeth, later Elizabeth I of England and daughter of King Henry VIII. Since this is in diary form your really hear the voice of a young girl who spends a great deal of her life traveling from castle to castle year after year depending on her father's whim. You also gain insight into her relationships with her sister Princess Mary(lots of sibling rivalry), her brother Prince Edward, who she adored and later became Edward VI, as well as her beloved governess Kat. The reader learns about what life was really like in these castles and how much Elizabeth loved her studies. Although this is a work of fiction it is historically accurate and includes a section at the end of the book on life in the Tudor court and a family tree of the Tudors. This is not an award winning book but was written by Newberry Award winning author Kathryn Lasky. I really enjoyed this book as well as the others. It is a great introduction to this timeperiod in English history for 4-8 grades. It is also a great read for young girls because it tells what life was really like for a real princess not a Disney princess. There are many books in the Royal Princess Diaries series some examples are Marie Antoinette, Isabel of Castilla, Cleopatra, and even Weetamoo, the daughter of Corbitant chief of the Pocassets during Pilgrim times.
loved this book was easy to follow and was a lot of fun as was the other books from immortality bites series.
