Magic Worse Than Poison
It’s a monorail. And we just got back from Disneyland, which also has a monorail. I couldn’t resist.
And now for the contest winner. First, here is the ball I chose:
A pirate one! I’m counting all the pirate-y answers, and the winner is….
Linda in Chicagoland!
I know, she changed her answer, but her original guess was pirate, therefore she’s a pirate. Yay Linda! I’ve send you an e-mail asking for your address… once you let me know, I’ll send you off a small Disney package!

And lastly, though not least, the book review for the week.
I picked the post title because it was somewhat related to the book being reviewed, and was catchy. I liked it. So I used it. But I think it needs some explanation. This week’s book is MAGIC STUDY by Maria V. Snyder. It’s a fun read, but quick and nothing too spectacular. Quite unlike the book it’s a sequel to, POISON STUDY. I LOVED Poison Study. So I was enthusiastic about its sequel. However, Magic Study just didn’t have the same charm. Maybe because Valek wasn’t in the story much? Or maybe because the premise of the first book was so very neat and yet didn’t carry over to the second? I’m not sure. I will be reading the third book, FIRE STUDY, but I will not be in as big a rush to find it.
