Just read a graphic novel called Street Angel which is quite gritty (YA or adult) but has such a nicely ironic use of ninjas.KateCoombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584944601221466789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-22715210342353269692012-04-30T09:51:54.997-07:002012-04-30T09:51:54.997-07:00Brilliant post.I'm new to the Pistachios but a...Brilliant post.I'm new to the Pistachios but any Awards featuring a "Best Use of Ninja" category has got my vote!Yellow Brick Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017822068691824050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-53428476054952806242012-04-10T19:43:42.153-07:002012-04-10T19:43:42.153-07:00Hey Jennifer!

Maybe those guys could have a nineteenth-century posing contest instead.<br /><br />Shelley--Glad to provide a revision break, and of course, to add to your TBR pile. :)<br /><br />Lark--Good dog picks! Jump reminds me of one of my favorite book dogs, the talking dog in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. (Can't remember his name.) And Tamora Pierce puts a scent hound in the Beka Cooper books, too, come to think of it.KateCoombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584944601221466789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-28268550262346905382012-04-01T19:54:33.898-07:002012-04-01T19:54:33.898-07:00Wonderful lists, especially the classic dog books....Wonderful lists, especially the classic dog books. Dog lovers also ought to check out Ginger from "Ginger Jumps" (one of our all-time favorites); Mudge from Cynthia Ryland's Henry & Mudge books; "Maxi the Taxi Dog"; the dog in James Herriot's "Only One Woof"; and Jump from Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small Quartet.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-24022718528048128412012-04-01T16:55:48.268-07:002012-04-01T16:55:48.268-07:00This is SO AWESOME!!

Wow--such wonderful books are out there. (And there were quite a few Pistachio winners that I've yet to read.

"..."Best Lake Launch in a Ball Gown"<br /><br />"Best Classic White Nightgowny Dress on a Girl Lying in Vegetation Hoping to Be Abducted by Hades"<br /><br />As always highly entertaining, and completely random as promised. Excellent choices, especially:<br />The Inquisitor's Apprentice<br />Small Person's With Wings<br />The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland...<br />The Cheshire Cheese Cat<br />Chime <br />The Name of the Star (Which I read last night and enjoyed a surprising amount.)<br /><br />I don't know if those book jacket guys should hang out though. I think there would be too much tension over who had the more awesome hairstyle and a friendship would be impossible.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12105770016693038906noreply@blogger.com
