Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

    Tinkers by Harding, Paul
    YongJae, February 22, 2013
    This books exists in small fragments, in memories or poetic ramblings or reflections on nature. It succeeds in being even more in total than any of its lonely wanderings down the rabbit hole of early America are in part. What makes this book truly special, however, is in after earning the reader's empathy, asking of him whether or not the sum of the experiences is for the characters as fulfilling as it is for the reader. In Tinkers, Harding creates a vivid and heartfelt world full of nature, memories, and family. His diction is excellent and this book is worthy of praise.

    The Sisters Brothers by Patrick Dewitt
    YongJae, February 22, 2013
    Two hired gun brothers sent from Oregon to San Francisco to carry out a killing, but of course things don't go as planned. McCarthy comparisons happening already, but the humour makes it feel more like Portis's True Grit (albeit darker), but with McCarthy's unflinching gaze at violence. Put it on the shelf beside Dexter's Deadwood, & Ron Hansen - best literary western I've read in recent memory.

    What Does The Sky Say by Nancy Whi Carlstrom
    YongJae, February 22, 2013
    This is one of the better childrens books I've come across. The illustrations are beautiful with the writing even more so. There's more than meets the eye here and while my daughter enjoyed it I think I'm going to read it to her again when she's just a little older.

    Love Is a Canoe by Ben Schrank
    YongJae, February 22, 2013
    At first, I thought I would not like the book, that it would be too hokey and folksy for me. In fact, the opposite happened. I fell in love with it. It rings so true and the couple could be any one of a million of us. The book tells the story from Emily's point of view, Peter's, and Peter's publisher. We get a first-hand view of the clawing and cat fighting int the publishing industry and for those involved in this enterprise, it rings pretty true. This is a wonderful book.
