Rated Doctor Who: In the Bleak Midwinter 8/10
Rated Black and Blue 8/10
<div>A good mystery, though not everything from the mid-'90s holds up today</div>
Rated Bobby March Will Live Forever 8/10
<div>I really enjoy this series, even when there are a couple of plot points that conveniently tie up some loose ends.</div>
Rated Doctor Who: Memory Lane 8/10
More about memory, so I hope this eventually leads to some sort of conclusion.
Rated Bruja 10/10
How appropriate to finish this book on Halloween (and also its official release date).<br><br>This book easily disproves the commonly heard refrain that hearing about other people's dreams is boring. BRUJA is certainly not boring, and is instead a surreal trip through art, anxiety, motherhood, California, and more. I loved it.<br><br>Particularly amusing to me were dreams involving cats... My cat dreams are usually hella weird.<br><br>Fuller review to come (she says with optimism because I've been slow about review writing this year).

Rated Companion to an Untold Story 8/10
Not every writer would be able to pull off a book like this, and I don't know how much attention Aldrich has received for her effort — apart from winning the AWP Award for Creative Nonfiction — but I suspect that it isn't what it deserves. Yet, <i>Companion to an Untold Story</i> is not a project that set out wishing for accolades. (Let's be honest, writers, we won't turn down praising-recognition of our work.) Though I can only infer her intentions, it seems to me that Aldrich wanted this book to be the best way she could memorialize her friend, and in that, find some acceptance. That others may identify and find value in it, I imagine, is but a wonderful gift.<br><br>(My full review can be found at <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2012/12/companion-to-untold-story-by-marcia.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)

Rated Cleanness 10/10
I always say that love, lust, loneliness, and longing are the main topics worth writing about, and this book has all of that. Well worth a read.
Rated Building Stories 10/10
What a design achievement. This is a beautifully put together graphic novel; I was a bit nervous handling my library copy. I have a few story quibbles regarding methods of demonstrating low self-esteem, but let's round up on the rating. This is quite something.
