Books I Have Read This Year

The Grand Jubilee - Suzette Haden Elgin -
And Then There'll Be Fireworks - Suzette Haden Elgin -

The last two of a trilogy. Very good. Strong women in a variety of roles. The society seems to be set up with strict gender roles, and I can't help but wonder what happens to people who don't conform to them. Bits of S.H.E.'s linguistic background show through at times; I don't really understand it, but I find it amusing.

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle - Betsy MacDonald - a favorite from the library when I was a child. Glad to have found out her name again, and acquired all 4 of the series. Children's reading is nice just before bed!
