• Notes:

Amazing things happen when Woman taps her inner Girl Scout. In You Can Do It!, Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas and friends present an engaging cast of female "mentors" who share their expertise in activities ranging from money management to firewalking. Fanning the can-do spirit kindled during her own scouting years, Catuzzi goes beyond the badge with this concept; wealthy information and the book's visual charm encourage women to embrace their aspirations and, in turn, to build self esteem. All who completed this commendable handbook following Catuzzi's tragic death deserve applause.

Want to fly airplanes? Break a habit? Learn photography? Grandcolas demystifies 60 popular activities here. Low-key visualization and a biographical page featuring a talented mentor kicks off each chapter. Badge steps follow, conveying all the necessary how-to's. Margins contain revealing anecdotes, plus thumbnail definitions for mastering each skill's language. For example, the wine appreciation chapter offers brief descriptions of common whites and red, tips for ordering in restaurants, a glass guide, and suggestions for creating a wine journal. The final step--stocking your own cellar, in this case--concludes with a hearty "Congratulations!" and tips for venturing "Beyond the Badge." A pageful of resources including books, magazines, web sites, and related organizations completes each chapter. For those who groove on such things, 60 silver-dollar-sized merit badges await earning (okay, they're just really pretty stickers at the book's end). Never motherly nor professorly, You Can Do It! fuses straight talk and wry humor to keep the read enjoyable, and success within reach.--Liane Thomas

Tellaga and Conred: A Fable For Grownups

Tellaga and Conred: A Fable For Grownups Review

“I wish I knew what my talent is.” This charming fable, filled with original characters and situations demonstrates how to regain and use your talent. It celebrates the importance of discovering that thing you love to do that nobody else can do quite like you. Tellaga and Conred shows that there is no talent better or worse than any other, and it reveals the barriers that prevent talent from being used. It encourages you to use your intuition as a personal GPS to create ideas and solutions via your talent. A journey with Tellaga and Conred will unleash your intuition, creativity, and decision making ability. It will help you identify the Tellagas and Conreds in your own life, and see your relationships in a completely new way. “Anderson not only writes well, she understands that unconscious material can be both subtle and clever; understood and loved. Each of the characters are presented with humor, sharp observation and compassion. -Gloria Karpinski, author of Barefoot on Holy Ground and Where Two Worlds Touch“Joyce Anderson weaves a heart-warming and delightful story. Through each marvelous archetypal character, we touch and remember another part of our own story. Tellaga and Conred open the door for reclaiming our lost, innocent brilliance.” –Alan Seale, author of Intuitive Living, The Manifestation Wheel

Santa Steps Out: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups

Santa Steps Out: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Review

In the opening lines of Santa Steps Out: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, we learn that God the Father had to "cut His vacation short" and is in a "towering rage" about it. It appears that while the archangel Michael was running things, the world got pretty screwed up. "Michael...you know that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are never to cross paths. It's one of our Father's most solemn injunctions." Ah, that Tooth Fairy. She's also got her hooks into the Easter Bunny.

Robert Devereaux is a master of vivid scene setting, especially gory scenes and sex scenes. There is a lot of sex in this book--mostly happy, lubricious sex that is sometimes downright amazing. Prepare for a strange and stimulating ride when you hop in the sleigh with Santa and witness all his adventures. Prepare to see childhood figures--figures known principally for delivering gifts in the night--in a whole new light. Devereaux is exuberantly polytheistic and well-grounded in Greek mythology, so along with the horror and humping, you'll be entertained by some notions about where all these immortals may have come from in the first place.

This signed, limited edition is a beauty to own: it has a full-color dust jacket by acclaimed artist Alan Clark, six full-page illustrations by Clark, a foreword ("Robert Devereaux Boldly Goes...") by David G. Hartwell about how the novel came into being, another foreword ("You Hold a Dangerous Book in Your Hands") by Patrick LoBrutto, and an afterword by the author. --Fiona Webster

Hey Diddle Diddle -- a naughty delight for lesbians and other grownups

Hey Diddle Diddle -- a naughty delight for lesbians and other grownups Review

She's a lactose-intolerant cow. Really. Elsa's got a secret unrequited crush...a big one. Lil, meanwhile, has a curiously fascinating love life of her own. Their world is populated with a mean little dog, a virtuoso cat, a yummy dish (of course), a chorus of lusty kitchen implements, a grumpy wishing star, and an aging silver spoon with a consuming desire of its own. Therein lies the funniest, most fanciful, over-the-top tale of sex and obsession you will ever have the pleasure of hearing.
