Bits and pieces

Sometime recently, I made it to the top 500 reviewers on Amazon.com! Not a big deal, I guess, but I've been reviewing there intermittently since 2004. As my mom said just now, "what did you do to get up there? Did somebody die?"

Yesterday and today we had snow and rain here in Pennsylvania, and when I went to get to work today, my parents' driveway was completely covered in black ice. The very end of the driveway slopes downwards, and the mailbox is about 20 feet up away from the road. This afternoon, after I went to the grocery store, I came home and found that the driveway was still icy. So I parked the car on the road a little ways aways and walked up to the house (I was carrying two large things of toilet paper, so I must have looked a little bit funny).

Stuffed into the mailbox (which is average-sized) was a medium-sized Amazon package--a little worse for the wear, but the contents were fine. So it seems as though the UPS guy was afraid to come up the drive to deliver the package. But it's all good. Also in the mailbox for me was a package (bubble mailer, so it fit in the regular mail) from the Book Depository.

How was your Thursday?

And just as I typed that, I went to check my stats and I've magically jumped up to 2000-ish, woo!

I have a box coming from Amazon and Barnes and Noble this week--yay. Congrats on improving your Amazon review ranking. It's interesting--I often see some of the same reviewers and have been curious how they get their status. Somehow it seems like it would be hard to make the top 50 or even 100.

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges. Achingly romantic, the novel features the legacy of Mercy Hayworth—a young woman convicted during the Salem witch trials—whose words reach out from the past to forever transform the lives of two present-day women. These book lovers—Abigail Boyles, elderly, bitter and frail, and Lauren Lars Durough, wealthy, earnest and young—become unlikely friends, drawn together over the untimely death of Mercy, whose precious diary is all that remains of her too short life. And what a diary! Mercy's words not only beguile but help Abigail and Lars...

Review: The Piano Teacher, by Janice Y.K. Lee

The Piano Teacher is a complicated novel. On the surface, it’s about a love affair between two British ex-patriots in Hong Kong in 1952-3. Claire Pendleton comes to Hong Kong with her husband Martin at a time when the world is still recovering from WWII; Claire takes up work as a piano teacher for the daughter of a wealthy Chinese family, where she meets Will Truesdale, the Chens’ enigmatic chauffeur. The book jumps back in time between the 1950s and the beginning of WWII, when Will is interned in Stanley, a Hong Kong camp for enemies of Japan. On “the outside” is Tudy Liang, Will’s beautiful Eurasian lover. There’s no doubt that Lee’s writing is beautiful. But there’s something lacking in this short, terse novel that I can’t quite put my finger on. First, I think it’s the tenses she uses when taking about each story: that which is set in the 1950s is in the past tense, while the war scenes are talked about in the present tense (confusing, no?) The interpersonal relationships of the m...
