About meI'm a grad student in communications, raised in California and now living in Canada. I love to cook. After years devoted to all things indie/d.i.y., I'm slowly learning to love mass culture. I'm a sometime queer-feminist activist. My academic work encompasses an interdisciplinary stew of all of the above and then some. So do my books.
About my libraryI own way more books than I'll ever read.

Thanks very much for your gifts, Quicksand by Nella Larsen and Drawn & Quarterly. I've read Passing by Nella Larsen in the past, so I'm looking forward to reading Quicksand.
I hope you like the books your Secret Santa got you.

I just wanted to say that I have read Loose Girl (i got an ARC about 1 month ago) and it is great. YOu will really enjoy it. She has also written a young adult novel about the same subject matter called EASY. If you want to compare reviews of Loose Girl, I posted mine on my blog www.bookshipper.blogspot.com
Let me know what you thought of it, I loved it. Best. Tina
