YA Reading Musings
I’ve read a couple of decent YA novels in the recent past. One I got at a library sale, and it ended up being somewhere down in the series – so I should give it a better shot by reading the first couple of books. The second was Inkheart by Cordelia Funke (soon to be […]
What I’m Reading – Burn Notice
Okay, so I give up numbering these things. I’ve forgotten. And I’m changing to titles rather than authors… Today’s offering — a media tie-in. [asa]0451225546[/asa] Let me preface this by saying I’m a huge proponent on media tie-in. I’m not one of those writers who thinks media tie-ins are hack work. My motto has always […]
What I’m Reading #11 – Spider Robinson
[asa]074348861X[/asa] This one went in a direction I didn’t quite expect. That’s what I get from buying a book based on the first sentence and having read some of his Callahan’s books. It’s a good book, and doesn’t go as far down the Very Bad Death place that it COULD, but it’s enough. It’s got […]
What I’m Reading #10 – Aspirin & Nye
I have to agree with my husband on this one. It’s good, cute, but not great. I haven’t read the MYTH books in AGES and ages, but this one… [asa]080957277X[/asa] It’s a good way to get back into it, because that’s what’s happening to Skeeve. He’s coming back. The hitch in this book is that […]
Why Aren’t YOU Watching The Middleman
In the past year, my husband and I have finally rejoined the vast majority which has cable/satellite *and* computers. Having Cable/Satellite has enabled us to watch programming we never before thought we could or would — and if you have the desire, you can watch many of the same programs on the internet. Why is […]
What I’m Reading #6 – Hawking
This is the last one of the “already read” portion of my segment. These will start being a lot more spread out as I actually get stuff read. Well, at least as fiction. I have a non-fic book I will recommend as well… George’s Secret Key to the Universe by Lucy & Stephen Hawking [asa]1416954627[/asa] […]
What I’m Reading #5 – Aspirin
My husband and I bought the last MYTH book as well as Dragon’s Wild right after Bob Aspirin’s passing. I didn’t know Bob well, but I had met him a couple of times, he has been an influence on my work, and the industry is sadder for his loss… That being said, I give you […]
What I’m Reading #4 – Wittig-Albert
Nightshade by Susan Wittig-Albert [asa]0425219569[/asa] I met her briefly at a luncheon and was intrigued by her series “starring” China Bayles. I’ve not read the rest of the series, but she predominantly writes 1st person, China POV. This book she needed to do something different, and tell part of the story from the guy’s POV. […]
What I’m Reading #3 – Shanna Swendson
Installment #3 is Shanna Swendson’s, Don’t Hex With Texas[asa]0345492935[/asa]. (Disclaimer: These books are not in order read. Just sayin’. Oh, and I refer to her by her first name, because I know her. It’s not a weird respect thing – refer to boys by last names, girls by first. I know Allan Cole, too, but […]
Apologies to John Scalzi
I misnamed his book in my previous posting. It’s Ghost Brigades not Ghost Soldiers – which is INDEED the book J.Cheney refers to about the WWII South Pacific Theater and the atrocities done to the POWs. Sorry for the confusion. It has been corrected.
