I’m adding unfinished books so that I’ll be able to remember them…

Placebo Chronicles, strange but true tales from the doctor’s lounge, Farrago
Bad work stories with the added entertainment of narcotics seekers. Boy, I’m glad I only have to tell people the metaphorical heroin isn’t available. Three stars.

Teach Me, Nelson
Well written, and I wanted to know how the plot ended up, but apparently not enough. Unfinished.

Drawing a blank, or, How I tried to solve a mystery, end a feud, and land the girl of my dreams; Ehrenhaft
Either it didn’t keep my attention or I have no attention left to keep. Unfinished.

Hello, cruel world: 101 alternatives to suicide for teens, freaks, and other outlaws, Bornstein
101 ways to stay alive just a bit longer, especially for people outside the norm. Not all of these options will be approved of by society in general but WHO CARES because they are all better than being dead forever. What a great idea. Four stars.

Kiki Strike: Inside the Shadow City, Miller
Very good middle grade thriller! Some thrillers for this age group come off as fairly babyish, with an adult’s view of what the 12-14 years are like, but this one was a real adventure, with a city under New York full of skeletons and gold, horrible popular girls, kidnapping plots, and phony designer handbags. The only drawback is that it is quite long, with two major plots with a tiny lull between.
Four stars.

The Museum of Kitschy Stitches: a gallery of notorious knits by Stitchy McYarnpants
So, if you use vintage catalog and magazine photos for the bulk of the amusement in your book (though many snarky comments leaven), do you have to track down all the image rightsholders to pay them? Just asking. Two stars.
