The five best Judy Blume books

|

It kind of bothers me that Judy Blume books are among the most banned in American libraries. I understand that some parents might not want their nine-year-olds to read about periods and masturbation and sexy dreams, but she tackles controversial issues that many moms and dads are scared to broach, and she does it in an intelligent and approachable way. So loosen up—kids can hear about this stuff from the motherly and funny Judy Blume, or they can hear about it from their idiot friends on the playground. Plus, there's a book on the list for grownups too.

CMJ 2008, Day 3: Juliana Hatfield @ Housing Works Bookstore

|
juliana_hatfield_main.jpgIf you ever wondered where singer/songwriter Juliana Hatfield honed the inspiration to write the lyrics that compose her introspective, expansive discography, her new memoir, When I Grow Up, provides more than few intimate clues. Recently released along with her latest album, How to Walk Way, the book poignantly depicts the 90s alt-rock pioneer's battles with personal insecurity as she grew into her musical career.

Neil Gaiman's Coraline to hit off-Broadway, on-screen

|

In Coraline, the 2002 young adult novella by acclaimed fantasy author Neil Gaiman, the young title character discovers an alternate universe populated by the mysterious doppelgangers of her loving but distant parents, and must scrape by on her own wits to escape. Often compared to Alice In Wonderland, it’s a compelling story—and sturdy enough, one hopes, to be retold in three different way throughout the next year.
