    I read Grl2grl: Short Fictions, by Julie Anne Peters (151 pages) and Hello, Groin by Beth Goobie (271 pages). Grl2grl was a short book of really short stories… probably my favorite was the last one about the girls who met at music camp. I think I remember reading an interview with a queer librarian and Hello, Groin was one of her favorite books, so when I saw it at the library I checked it out, but it didn’t really live up to my expectations. It’s not that it was bad, but it was kind of depressing that in a good amount of the story the girl thought there was something *wrong* with her and used negative language like that to describe her sexuality. Also the paper was a really bright white and that annoyed me because I was in Graphic Design and am ruined by my standards for typesetting/paper choice/etc.
