Rated Other Heartbreaks 8/10
Achingly authentic, most of the stories concern families coming together for an event, oftentimes a funeral or a wedding. The women are young and old, straight and not, and the men are just as tough and complicated. One doesn't always like them, but they remain interesting.<br><br>Other Heartbreaks is an excellent portrayal of the journeys we take to feel whole — the process we must recognize in order to do so. Henley's work is honest and resonant, and it is work to which I will return again.<br><br>(Full review appears at <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2011/10/other-heartbreaks-by-patricia-henley.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)

I'm writing a novel and it's about 3/7 finished with the rough draft.
Rated Valentine 10/10
An excellent, immersive novel set in ‘70s West Texas, where the oil fields bring monstrous men, doing their damndest to chew up the women in their lives. This is not about those men, but the women and the degrees by which they survive. I thought of the North Dakota oil fields while reading — a regional parallel — and how, decades later, these places still exist... that ever-persistent callback to the Wild West. Though the circumstances in VALENTINE are not easy ones, they feel as true as ever. I’m so very glad I read this.

Magic can give you just one thing. Choose wisely:
Knowledge?
Courage?
Love?
Or simply more time at home?

Rated Spark 6/10
SPARK is a somewhat disorienting little book. What starts out as a fairly straightforward story turns into a darker, mysterious world.<br><br>The trouble I had with these mysterious occurrences was that I wasn't entirely sure that they were real. Now, maybe the issue is that I was reading the book while tired, before bed, and maybe there were clues that I did not notice. If Mauk intended to makes these experiences surreal, I cannot say for certain if that's how they come across.<br><br>I'd be curious to hear other readers' impressions. SPARK is definitely a novel that merits discussion, and I hope that it gets it.<br><br>(My full review appears on <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2012/09/spark-by-courtney-elizabeth-mauk.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)
