Here&#8217;s the Science Fiction &#038; Fantasy list &#8212; damn, that&#8217;s a lot of books!  I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not on the Round I panel!  &#8230;Er, I mean, what a fabulous list.  I&#8217;m so sorry I won&#8217;t be reading all of them. :)  Good luck, Round I team!

Yet another conference speaker, who brought a guitar on stage and performed some Tom Lehrer, among other things.  What&#8217;s with all the musical children&#8217;s authors?  Maybe music should be Simmons&#8217; theme next time&#8230;
I am not a poetry reader, as a general rule.  But a few poems in, I was sold on this [...]]]></description>

Another conference speaker with whom I was unfamiliar.  She&#8217;s also a jazz singer, and gave us a lovely impromptu a capella performance (just reinforcing the sense that I was at a folk festival).
I&#8217;ll admit, I found her book tiresome.  The prose is lovely, I guess, but it was a Woman&#8217;s Sexual Awakening and [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m super-excited about both of these: they were two of my personal favorites.  (I even gave Rapunzel&#8217;s Revenge to my friend Kate Diamond as part of her wedding present, a bad-ass redhead for a bad-ass redhead.)
Congratulations to all [...]]]></description>

A couple of weeks ago, I suggested a Group Read of this one, in honor of President Obama&#8217;s inauguration.  (Man, the phrase &#8220;President Obama&#8221; ain&#8217;t getting old anytime soon.)  The premise (in case you haven&#8217;t been murmuring &#8220;gay Jewish president&#8221; in your sleep) is that the first gay Jewish president is elected by [...]]]></description>

Beautifully detailed line drawings and a wordless story featuring young Ivy &#8220;and her gifted Korgi cub, Sprout.&#8221;  The Characters page in the back describes Korgis as &#8220;loyal, fox-like creatures with big ears and large smiles.&#8221;  Do they look an awful lot like Welsh corgis?  Gosh, they do!  Does [...]]]></description>

The first student&#8217;s answer?  &#8220;It&#8217;s like [...]]]></description>

Awhile ago I reviewed Inkheart, the first in this trilogy.  I&#8217;ve finally finished Inkspell and Inkdeath, and after all the poetic waxing I did about Inkheart, my ultimate conclusion is&#8230; don&#8217;t bother.  
Funke introduces way too many characters, throws their balls into the air (&#8230;enjoy that image!), and then forgets they&#8217;re up there. [...]]]></description>
