I've got about 20 books that were all posted on January 12th but the one posted first of all of those was The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly.

Mine is Blooming All over by Judith Arnold     Posted 7/5/07 .       If you order this book I will throw in two more of your choice free.

Bagels with a shmear of love . . .only at Bloom's.

There may be a bigger deli than Bloom's somewhere in the world, but there's certainly none better! That doesn't mean it's the only place Susie Bloom ever wants to dine, though. Writing The Bloom's Bulletin is a fun sideline, but Susie is keeping her options open . . .not just with the store, but also with tall, blond and handsome Casey, the ever-so-sexy Bloom's bagel master. Casey is pushing for marriage, but Susie has her qualms. Can a girl from Manhattan settle down with a guy from Queens?

Susie's cousin Rick is an aspiring filmmaker, with his own recipe for success. After persuading the family to fund a Bloom's infomercial, he taps Susie to be the leading lady. But while Susie is filming in New England and aspiring to win at Cannes, Casey quits Bloom's to open his own specialty bakery. Not only that, he appears to have another woman in his life. It's time for Susie to decide on her order. Does she want canaps in Cannes, or a bagel and lox right here in New York?

Candide, Zadig, and Selected Stories by Voltaire.  Sitting there since May 2006 :(

I'm not sure if it's funny or sad, but 9 of my initial 10 are still available.

White Fang :: Jack London

Okay, just have to ask:  what is an eponym? 

For some reason I can't get my books to resort by date posted--they insist on remaining in alphabetical order by title.  Anyone have any idea what that's about?

From scanning quickly through my bookshelf, I think the book that's been on my shelf the longest is A Man of Many Talents by Deborah Simmons; I posted it March 26, 2007.  I'm a little surprised to discover that apparently all the books that I posted in the first month I was a member are gone.  OTOH, I still have several that were posted not too long after the Simmons book.

I've got  Cress Delahanty :: Jessamyn West
Posted: 7/4/2007

I'm happy to send 3 books for 2 credits to anyone who orders it :)

Feminist Press (which published a recent edition of this book) says:
Published the same year as Catcher in the Rye, Cress Delahanty is also a comic novel of adolescence, but the scene is a citrus ranch in Southern California, the subject is change rather than stasis, and two very lively parents are part of the story. When the novel opens, Cress is twelve; when it closes, she is sixteen and a freshman at college. In between, like Holden Caulfield, Cress suspects that, to be a person, she needs to be somehow distinguishable, if not different from other people. In fact, at thirteen, she believes that she must have a “trademark” personality if she is to be “known” at school. And so she adopts “crazy” as her distinguishing feature, planning various kinds of behavior that make her notoriously comic, even to teachers and administrators. For a time she is pleased, but then at the end of year, when she wants to be elected freshman editor and gives a sober speech describing her writing talents and sense of responsibility, the whole assembly responds to her with laughter, thinking her seriousness is another joke. They elect her to be the Josh editor, an indignity she refuses, returning home in tears.

Through this segment and the rest of the novel, Cress's parents are present and engaged in discussing their daughter who resembles and even seems to be recapitulating not her mother's adolescence, but her father's. Cress's mother is horrified to discover that her daughter, like her husband, writes lists. The first of these for Cress denotes traits that might distinguish her as a special person at school. While her mother sometimes tells Cress she is behaving badly or irrationally, her father, who tells her that he too chose a “trademark” at thirteen that ultimately made him miserable, urges Cress to learn for herself. And she does learn for herself, here, and through a variety of encounters in the novel��"with boys a bit older than she, with girlfriends, with older women, with an older man (and his wife), and finally, with her dying grandfather.

Comedy is one of the novel's distinguishing features, from an episode with the irate parents of a very quiet young man whose front teeth Cress has accidentally knocked out, to an incident with a red straw hat covered with fruit and flowers she wears to entice the same young man, Edwin. He appears just as the hat falls to the bottom of a fish tank dying the water blood red, and causing the owner of the tank to shriek at her and allowing Edwin to say a word in her defense. More delicately comic are the responses of Cress's bewildered parents, and a few moments of tenderness��"with her grandfather after her grandmother's death, for example, and with him at his death. Unlike Catcher, Cress strikes many different chords through which one grasps not only the changing breadth of the young woman's character, but of her parents and others in the novel, particularly Edwin, the young man who reappears several times. This is a rare book, wise yet entirely entertaining, and brief so that, at its end, one longs for more episodes.

Mine is the Adventures of Tom Sawyer...... posted 9/27/2007.

It was required  in 9th(?) grade Language Arts...... I remember just making it to Barnes & Noble before closing the night before my son needed it for class (because he forgot to tell me sooner grrrrrr)

School is going to start soon - your child may need this one and you might not make it to B&N before they lock the doors ;)
