Homeland
“Want to stay over?” Ange said as I yawned for the tenth time in five minutes.
“I think I already have,” I said. We'd started staying over at each other's houses that summer,
and while it had been weird at first (especially over breakfast with the parents!), everyone
had gotten used to it. My parents had more important stuff to worry about, and Ange's
mom was just one of those cool grownups who seemed to have an instinctive grasp of
what mattered and what didn't.

University Bookstore: Seattle, WA
This chapter is dedicated to the University Bookstore at the University of Washington,
whose science fiction section rivals many specialty stores, thanks to the sharp-eyed, dedicated
science fiction buyer, Duane Wilkins. Duane's a real science fiction fan -- I first met
him at the World Science Fiction Convention in Toronto in 2003 -- and it shows in the eclectic
and informed choices on display at the store. One great predictor of a great bookstore
is the quality of the “shelf review” -- the little bits of cardboard stuck to the shelves with
(generally hand-lettered) staff-reviews extolling the virtues of books you might otherwise
miss. The staff at the University Bookstore have clearly benefited from Duane's tutelage,
as the shelf reviews at the University Bookstore are second to none.
