I shelved this book as it wasn't interesting to me right now, and am now reading Beach Party by RL Stine

Sarah-Hope | 55 comments Learned by Heart by Emma Donoghue Learned by Heart is one of those books that takes you by the heart, pulling you along on a story of passionate, but frustrated love. The lovers in this instance are two young women at a boarding school in York in the early 1800s. The novel is based on the extensive, coded diaries of Anne Lister, one of those two young women.

Sarah-Hope | 55 comments The Golem of Brooklyn by Adam Mansbach The Golem of Brooklyn's central character, Len Bronstein, is an art teacher who has been stealing clay a few kilos at a time from his high school classroom and has decided that now is the time to create a Golem. (For those who don't know, a Golem is a creature from Jewish folklore. Made out of mud or clay and brought to life through ritual involving the mystical name of g-d, the Golem will fight to defend Jews in times of great danger.) Len isn't really thinking about the great danger part of things. He just wants to see if he can get enough information online to actually bring this giant clay being to light. The answer is, "yes." Chalk up another win for the internet.

Sarah-Hope | 55 comments Bellies by Nicola Dinan Bellies's cast of characters is young—19 to 25 or so—and that youth means that they're still figuring out who they are, and that who-they-are is in flux. Tom and Ming, two gay college students meet at a drag event and fall in love. By the novel's end, Tom is still a gay man, Ming is a woman, and they both—along with their friends—have been through wave after wave of affection, conflict, communication, miscommunication, and (in the minds of at least some of them) betrayal.
