The Not So Rosy Side of the Internet

Monday, July 30th, 2007

The fur has been flying around quite a lot here in bloglandia for the last couple of weeks. I don’t usually participate unless I feel uber strongly about a subject and then many times I write my response in Word, go take the dogs for a walk and come back and delete what I [...]

Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

Book Synop: (from Amazon) Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always [...]

Book Quiz: Mists of Avalon

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

You’re The Mists of Avalon!
by Marion Zimmer Bradley
You’re obsessed with Camelot in all its forms, from Arthurian legend
to the Kennedy administration. Your favorite movie from childhood was “The Sword in
the Stone”. But more than tales of wizardry and Cuban missiles, you’ve focused on
women. You know that they truly hold all the power. You always wished [...]

Unhappy

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

I don’t like to be taken for granted. But really, who does? I work for a small chain store. I do it because I love to be around books. I do it because being away from them for an extended period of time makes me sad, grumpy and itchy. And [...]

Jane Green

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Jane Green is a Goddess among authors. I’ve read and enjoyed several of her books. A couple of them have also made it onto my keeper shelf. Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans is one of my all time favorites. And Bookends: A Novel also garnered space with [...]

Interview With Caridad Pineiro

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Interviewing authors always gives me that ‘kid in the candy store’ feeling and this interview with Caridad Pineiro is no exception! Caridad was kind enough to answer some questions that I had for her and now I’m sharing them with you! Caridad’s current book on the shelves is Blood Calls, part of The [...]

Harry Potter

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

As we all know, HP7 hits the stands at Midnight tomorrow night.  And I should know because I have to work it until 3 am.  I gotta say I’m glad this is the last Harry Potter book — ever.
I’m not a huge fan of Harry.  I found the first book boring and while I own [...]

Late to the Party

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

As usual I have to wait and see how something is going to work out before I actually believe the hype and use it myself. Like Bloglines. I’ve had an account forever but have never actively used it. So I go crazy clicking on all my blogroll to see who has updated. [...]

eBay

Monday, July 16th, 2007

So it’s time for me to get rid of a few things.  I hate putting stuff on eBay because I mostly feel that unless you have some big ticket item you get screwed in fees, but I don’t know what else to do with my stuff so I’m starting online.  I’ll be listing stuff like [...]
