Many Thanks
Many thanks to everyone who has sent cards and letters to my grandmother, and special thanks to Natalie who recycled a box of books in Grandmom’s direction!

Vogon Poetry Slam: Part Deux
Vince one the last one. Not that I remembered to send him a prize, but he did.
I’ll start:
Furry
Sitting and shedding
Goddamnit! Stay out of my chair!

Towel Day!
Don’t forget your towel!
This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, [...]

Creating a Cover
Creating Blameless
I first looked at this because I quite liked “Soulless” and am looking forward to the next book in the series.
However, this is worth watching because it’s fascinating to watch a cover being created.
Alphabets
A is for Aztecs

Almost Skipped Thursday
Or perhaps I just should have.
I’ve read some good books recently. And… um…
Hey, look at the time! Gotta run!

Out They Go!
Just finished packing up more boxes of books, and will take them to the post office here shortly.
One surprise going out–no Shawn, it’s not you. ;)
Still have a large box left, but things are much better!
(And to the recipient of the surprise, if you already have these, then just send ‘em along to someone else.)

Out! Out! Out!
All requests from the Great Book Giveaway went out Saturday. Our favorite postal worker was at the counter, so we actually enjoyed the entire process (and there was someone at the other window, so we weren’t holding everyone up).
Oh. Hmmm… I just realized I forgot to send Susan’s books out. Ooops!
There are still lots [...]

What I’ve Been Reading: Baking Books
Between the holidays and the unusually cold weather, I’ve been baking up a storm.
Now, I love baking cookies, but after all the Christmas cookies I made, I wanted to make something different. Since I don’t like cake, I decided to try breads (pies are okay, but I find pie crust more frustrating than fun).
Now I [...]

Great Book Giveaway, Update
So I have a big old pile o’ boxes to take to the post office on Saturday.
Pretty impressive, isn’t it?
But I still have plenty of unloved books that are looking for a new home.
If you’re interested, you can wander over to the Great Book Giveaway 2010 post and see if anything interests you.

Great Book Giveaway 2010
Yup. It’s that time again: Time to cull the bookshelves, before I lose the ability to move around the basement without toppling a pile of books.
Since I missed the book donation last year, some of these are leftover, but there is a full box of books from this year added.
Most of these books are used, [...]

Bookety Book Book
Janiece’s post on house cleaning just reminded me… It’s time for another great book culling.
If there is interest, I’ll post pics (and maybe type the names & titles) of the books I’m getting rid of, and send them to anyone interested.
If the weather ever clears, we’ll take a trip to Half Price Books in Pittsburgh, [...]

Winter Wonderland
Then the little children would heat copper coins on the stove and press them against the glass until the roundest of holes would melt in the ice; through each of these peeped the lovelies little eye: one belonged to a little boy and the other to a little girl. His name was Kai and hers [...]

The Year in Reviews
I read a lot of books this year. 147 books to be precise (unless I read another book today making it 148, but that seems unlikely).
I found several new series that I quite enjoyed:
The comic NYX, is a slightly older series that tells the story of three teens who are trying to deal with their [...]

Not What They Meant
What does it say about me that upon seeing the following in my Inbox:
I immediately thought, I hated HIGHLIGHTS! Why do I want a radio station for it?

What I’ve Been Reading
I recently read a fabulous supernatural fantasy called Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler.
Just go ahead over to my book blog and read what I had to say about it there.

What You Should Be Reading: Jane Lindskold
I started reading Jane Lindskold quite by accident. I’d seen–and even picked up–her Wolf series, but was just never in the mood to start a multi-book series, so the books languished and I soon forgot about her.
However, at a trip to the bookstore I ran across Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls and was intrigued [...]

What I’ve Been Reading
Sometimes I get in the mood for a specific type of book. Recently, it’s been mysteries. But not cozies. Sorry cozy authors. My grandmother may love you, but you’re generally not my thing. I’d much rather have blood and guts and action. Kinda like the opposite of my life.
Anyway.
In my search for something I like, [...]

Random Book Post
So far this year I have read 119 books. That’s more books that I read during the years of 2004 and 2007. That’s an average of 11.9 books a month.
Pretty good.
What I’ve Been Reading: Faith Hunter
A couple months ago I picked up a supernatural fantasy with one of the best covers I’ve seen in a long time, Faith Hunter‘s Skinwalker.
There, see? Isn’t that fabulous? That is not a woman who needs a man to care for her, not matter what life (and un-life) throw at her.
Kudos to Roc [...]
