Book description
This short manga was better than what I expected. I am not usually a fan of these single volumes short stories, but this one was well plotted out. It focuses on the relation between Tooru and Takara. Takara is moving in with his cousins (including Tooru) after some issues with his job. All Tooru has are fond memories between them as children but Takara is cold and distant to him these 7 years later. As some past wounds are revealed the two are redrawn together, but with a turn in their relationship.This quickly gets you invested in the characters, cheering for a happy ending. This book also has a short story that revolves around two faculty members, tea and classroom fun! All in all, however short it was, is was nicely done.

Book description
This is a lovely twisty, dramatic school shoujo love story -(very dorama like in its plot) by a mangaka that Ive just realised I read quite a few scanlations of. Its not smutty, really.Ive heard that Kiss/Hug - another series of hers - has been licensed in the west. That one is stronger, I thought, than this, so Ill be buying it.This series is short at four volumes, but you can see that the mangaka is very skilled.____________________________________I was just in the mood for a Mitsuki romance again and the reread really emphasized the deep connection between heroine and hero again - and while his background is more dramatic on the surface, she has lots of drama in her past as well AND there is more time spent on her relationships which I love. I also love, that - from what I have read of her series - there is never any question of the two people NOT loving each other. They may have misunderstandings and insecurity between themselves but NOT about potential other love interests (none of her series that I have read so far do). Here we have a brother with a sis-complex, but he actually had an understandable reason to develop it. Hikaru deals with it with a lot of patience, too ^^Apart from the background story plot I do think that Shizuka is the one over-the-top character for the sake of complication. I guess they had to have one. Although Kiss & Hug and the other series Ive read from her managed to do without an obvious antagonist character... I havent read all her work yet, though.

Book description
Tai Chi Morning is simply, as the title implies, snapshots of China seen through the lens of a poet’s eye. It is a collection of moments, a personal record of an outsider’s first experience of China. (From the introduction)In 1988, poet Nikki Grimes spent three weeks along the east coast of China. Like any curious tourist, she observed and touched, sniffed and tasted. But unlike most, she poured those sensations into poetry. Distilling the delight and confusion of an African American traveler thousands of miles from home, her poems take a thoughtful, sometimes playful, look at an outsider’s sense of self.As it happened, around the same time, artist Ed Young was visiting his native China--as always, writing and sketching his impressions in a personal journal. Like Nikki, Ed witnessed signs of the old China alongside the new. Like the poet, the artist caught hold of them and set them down on paper.Through Nikki’s wry but penetrating verse and Ed’s deft, revealing drawings, in Tai Chi Morning the journeys of a visiting American poet and an artist returning home unwind side by side in counterpoint.

Book description
As befits a game traditionally passed from one generation to the next, baseball has always had a special reverence for origins. Claims of being first with any element of the game are disputed with fervor and passion. When the octogenarian Fred Goldsmith died in 1939, a headline proclaimed, Goldsmith Dies Insisting He Invented Curve Ball; Fred Goldsmith understood the secret of immortality. Yet while countless thousands of words have been spilled on the subject of baseball firsts, there has been no definitive source for the settlement of disputes. Peter Morriss endlessly fascinating A Game of Inches has now arrived to fill the void. Impeccably researched and engagingly written, this treasure trove will surprise, delight, and educate even the most knowledgeable fan by dispelling cherished myths and revealing the source of many of baseballs features that we now take for granted. The scope of A Game of Inches is encyclopedic, with nearly a thousand entries that illuminate the origins of items ranging from catchers masks to hook slides to intentional walks to cork-center baseballs. But this is much more than just a reference guide. Award-winning author Peter Morris explains the context that led each new item to emerge when it did, and chronicles the often surprising responses to these innovations. Of few books can it genuinely be said that once you start reading, its hard to put it down but A Game of Inches is one of them. It belongs in the pantheon of great baseball books, and will give any reader a deeper appreciation of why baseball matters so much to Americans. (A companion volume, A Game of Inches: The Game Behind the Scenes, was published in the fall of 2006.)

Book description
I was reading another book, but I got so tired of the issues I had with that book, I had to take a break. Plus, I got to meet Timothy Zahn on January 8th, so I was pumped to finish reading my almost complete collection of Timothy Zahn published works!Humankind (to be politically correct) has finally developed the capacity to travel faster than light. They set upon to leave an overpopulated, overmined Earth (in typical fashion for scifi books written in this era) only to find that the rest of the galaxy is populated by superior aliens. The only world left is Astra, a world strangely without any trace metals. The United Nations decide that the Americans should spearhead the colonization. The Americans in turn assign Colonel Llyod Meredith to oversee Astras development...and to deal with disputes between the colonists (led by Cristobal Perez) and the military. But things get strange when the planet seems to suck away all metal and produce a six centimeter in diameter cable. Now, all the surrounding aliens want a piece, Astra is a hotspot in the conflict between the United Nations and the United States, and Meredith might lose his tenuous hold on the citizens of Astra.I Like:Timothy Zahn is my absolute favorite writer for many reasons. This book showcases one of the biggest reasons: his ability to combine a cool, interesting story with enough realism to make you feel like you are there.The story of Spinneret is slightly different than most scifi Ive read. Space has already been colonized until the only planet left is the dud, the one no one wants. Earth takes it only because it may be the only one they get; then the Americans (those chosen to spearhead the colonization) begin to pour money into what could easily be a money pit. Now, granted, I havent read all scifi books in print, but I have read a few, and this unique concept intrigued me.The idea of the planet using metal from things like shelves to plants soil was really interesting as well, along with the planet making a strand of the strangest material ever. The properties of the material were described in such a way, it was obvious Timothy Zahn was familiar with some basic material science and metals properties. Throughout the book, Zahn uses scientific terms fairly accurately and with knowledge, that makes the geek in me squee with joy. The scientific technology shows its age (with cassettes to hold data and other 80s-ish gadgets), but oddly enough, it doesnt take away from the story at all.I found it very easy to get sucked into the book. It has an easy writing style, a quick pace, exciting events, and an intriguing premise. Zahn doesnt hang around, chewing the fat, or leaving the reader to wonder when the story will resume. The story is always going. Everything leads to the final scene, which, while short, is more than adequate.I know it will sound odd, but the conclusion was definitely satisfying. So many books have a combination of hastily done, overly simplistic, overly optimistic, or childish, but this books ending makes sense. It has a positive outlook, for sure, but there arent pages of explaining the last 100 pages for the reader, no sudden revelations, no happily ever afters. It was, in all sense of the word, good.I Didnt Like:While I adore Zahn, I am not oblivious to his faults, and I felt there were more than a few weak points in this novel.The characters of Spinneret felt very bland and interchangeable. The major characters (Colonel Meredith, Carmen Olivero, Cristobal Perez, and Dr. Peter Hafner) didnt really feel much different from the other, even though each one comes from different circumstances or backgrounds. Colonel Meredith knew more about geology and other science-y stuff than I would have expected from an army officer (even one who is in command of a scientific base like Astra); Olivero miraculously knew how to fly even though she wasnt military (which seemed odd as her job was mostly data crunching); Perez seemed to have one job and that was colony troublemaker, yet was able to figure out how to open the door when Dr. Hafner and Colonel Meredith could not (though you could suppose, since the answer was not complicated, that sometimes smart people overthink a problem); and Dr. Hafner felt a bit too much like your stereotypical scientist. In fact, each and every one of the characters knew way more about science than they should (other than Dr. Hafner). And in the end, all become sudden astrogeologists. Overall, I really didnt feel like I got into any of the characters heads nor could adequately sympathize--no, distinguish--one from another.Another distracting element was the use of Um. A character (most frequently, I noticed, Colonel Meredith) would begin a sentence with this word like in the following passage: Um...Feels awfully smooth for something thats been buried this long. This dialogue feels awkward. I wouldnt say Um in this situation; probably Hm but not Um. Um always sounds like you are unsure of yourself or gathering your thoughts, but not being thoughtful (which is, I thought, what Colonel Meredith was feeling).Some of the events are far too easily maneuvered. Colonel Meredith will conveniently let Carmen do *this*. Perez will say *something* that Colonel Meredith will (grudgingly) agree to. Dr. Hafner happens to come to the (correct) conclusion about *that*. I know why it was done, but it still was a little obvious and not always necessary.Dialogue/Sexual Situations/Violence:A few swear words grace the pages, but Zahn avoids them for the most part. However, when he does, sometimes it feels awkward and obvious he is trying to avoid swearing.None. Whatsoever.The threat of violence hangs in the air as the alien ships surround Astra. Also, Perez joins in a riot against Colonel Merediths actions. A few soldiers die in an attempted coup, and when the Spinneret is activatedOverall:I believe I had tried to read Spinneret some years ago and just couldnt get into it. Well, this time, I did, and it was time well spent. I just wish the characters were a little more distinguishable and unique. Four stars for another enjoyable tale, but a wish for more distinctive characters.
