FOUND! Missing woman in Haiti-Have You Seen Her or Can You Call?



The missing woman is in orange holding her baby. She is my friend's sister.

My friend Chacha wrote this:

Her name is Juliette Thercy and her phone numbers are and She lives in Delmas 36. She is 5'3' and about 130. If someone picks up just say "Ah-low Juliette" (Hello Juliette). If someone responds please say "Ray-lay sair-oo Chacha" (call your sister Chacha). Please call me if you hear a voice. Also the tall woman wearing the brown outfit is my friend Gabie, she is the Executive Director of Sonje Ayiti "Remember Haiti" a non-profit in Haiti that helps Haitians empower themselves in Haiti. She is also in Port-au-Prince and I haven't been able to talk to her but she's alive and may know my sister's location. The boy holding my niece is my sister's cousin and he loves to do my niece's hair and he is so sweet. We keep calling and calling and sometimes I get a ring other times the "earthquake message" but if you call we may increase our chance of reaching her.

My phone number is and you can give that number out as well. I also have another close friend who is missing and if he is safe he may be able to help. His name is Herns Dede and he works at Digicel his number is: He lives in Petionville. It's so weird, I just saw him this past friday and now he's hard to reach. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts.


EDIT-She has been found alive and well!

Books with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter." I suppose it's a word that lends itself to amelioration. 1. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler 2. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore 3. Fire by Kristin Cashore 4. Heartless by Marissa Meyer 5. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Speaking of cultures and society, I leave for Spain on January 9. Instead of continuing as a book blog with a specific goal for number of books to read in a year, Space Station Mir will become a chronicle for my adventures in Spain. Expect a post for each new place that I visit, with pictures! I also plan to continue reviewing books, however I will not make a set goal for number of books to read this year. I do pledge myself to read at least one book in Spanish that was not assigned for a class. In terms of my goals for 2009, I was not diligent enough in keeping track of them. Looking back, I've fulfilled some of them and not others. The greatest trend in my reading this year, which marks a huge deviation for me, is that I've read more non-fiction than I think I've read any other year in my life. I've finally developed the ability to sustain interest in non-fiction other than biographies. For a while, biographies were the only non-fiction I ever read, with the exception

Most Recent Books I Did Not Finish

 I feel like I've been DNFing a fair amount lately, mostly with review books. I feel obligated to read review books longer than I would if they were books I just picked up on my own. That said, I have a caveat in my Book Review Policy  that if I feel I am not the right audience for the book, I won't post a review. I try to avoid that by only picking books I genuinely think I will enjoy, but of course I can't always predict that before I read. Also, while book clubs have been a great way to get exposed to books I wouldn't normally read, tastes will differ and every once in a while, I find a book I'm just not willing to finish. I also want to say no shade to the authors or anyone who enjoyed these books--they just weren't for me. Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Most Recent Books I Did Not Finish 1. Caribbean Competitors by Poppy Minnix--LibraryThing review--This one sounded great and has a beautiful cover, but while the island setting was compelling, I just couldn't ge
