The Privilege of the Sword (2006) Ellen Kushner
There are a handful of authors whose books I actively seek out, looking for crumbs of news of upcoming books: Sean Russell, Guy Gavriel Kay, Charles de Lint, and also Ellen Kushner. Well, July has been a good month for me; new Charles de Lint, and even more [...]
Happy Rain Day!
Addendum the First
What is the point of a scheduled post if it doesn’t post on it’s own when scheduled. If I have to go back and post it myself, why bother?

The Wild Wild West – The Complete First Season, Full Screen, B & W
Woo! Woo!
And Michael has never see Wild Wild West! Grandmom described it to him as Firefly in reverse.
Sorry about the silence, but it’s likely to remain for another couple weeks. My grandmother is visiting, so I’m busy talking with her, and doing everything possible to make her comfortable so she’ll decide that maybe it wouldn’t be too horrible to move in with me.
So except for the occasional update, don’t expect to see [...]
Last week Michael and I watched seasons 3 and 4 of Babylon 5. Hence, the silence here and lack of exercise, as we were watching episodes from the time we got home until past our bedtime, in the deadly, “This ended badly, just ONE more episode,” maneuver.
So Seasons 3 and 4 were FULL of cliffhangers. [...]

Rising Stars: Voices of the Dead / Bright (2006) Fiona Avery

Nightlife (2006) Rob Thurman
This book starts the action right on page one:
It was the touch of a much warmer liquid on my fingers that let me know differently. It was blood. My blood. I tightened my hand over the one that held the knife handle. The blood covers both our hands, his and mine. He [...]
Zorro (2005) Isabel Allende
translated by Margaret Sayers Peden
As I’ve mentioned before, I love swashbuckling adventures, and as swashbuckling adventurers go, Zorro is one of my favorites.

My mistake.
