Hey, I'm still in the As at the library!
I've skipped over a couple of books I didn't think were worth my time or anybody's to write about. And it seems that it's been a couple of months since I came to my blog. I finished reading several books not from the library and could address them later. The latest book I read from the library was Coyote Cowgirl by Kim Antieau. It's an unusual and rather fantastic story about a young woman who is given charge of a "ruby-studded" scepter and crystal skull that are used in a ceremony twice a year. Of course the first ceremony was during the Day of the Dead. These two pieces figure in the story line and the young woman's destiny. It's a fun book to read, but not extremely well-written, which bothered me at times. I mean she talks to the skull and he gives her cooking lessons, which make her a hit at an isolated restaurant in the Southwest. How the principles move between Mexico and Arizona so easily is also a wonder. It's fun and not very heavy reading, but certainly worth one's time.
