Ten on Tuesday – Who’s Oscar?

Today’s Ten on Tuesday we have a choice! We can either write 10 Thoughts On This Year’s Oscars, or — my choice — 10 New Movies I Want To See. It was a no-brainer for me, since I didn’t keep up with the Oscars. I don’t think I saw any of the movies nominated for [...]

Weeks 38, 39 & 40: Book Review Catch-up

So, after complaining that I didn’t get a book read in time to review two weeks ago, I have three books to review this week. As a result, I’m going to do mini-reviews because there are three of them. Mini-Review #1: Veil of Shadows by Shiloh Walker I really enjoyed this book. It’s the second [...]

Scheduled Snippet

I’m not here today! But I feel sorry for anyone who would expect a Friday Snippet and not get one, so here is a short section (that I just wrote) from my WIP. (Oooh, shiny! Brand new fiction! Probable typos and maybe even grammatical errors! Heh. Be gentle.) Have a great weekend everyone! “I am [...]

August Snippet the First ~ 8.6.2010

This week’s snippet follows off of one two snippets ago, in which we met the girl. It actually follows on that one in the same scene, without the jump to last week’s snippet in between. This is after Lindra’s been challenged by her archery tutor to prove her skill and has succeeded. Beyond that, there’s [...]

Friday Snippet, and Frustrations

I’ll go with the frustrations first. I’m getting highly annoyed at AOL. I set up an AOL account purely for the purpose of using it for my blog e-mails, and now it’s getting shunted into spam folders when I use that account to comment on other blogs. (Some, anyway.) HIGHLY annoying. So I’m thinking of [...]

Friday Snippet – 07.09.2010

Here’s a snippet. Just because I can. This is from a fantasy story I’m working on (E1, if you want to know) and I’m enjoying it. No background is needed, really, or will be provided, because I’m considering starting the novel with this. Haven’t decided yet, but very strongly considering… Anyway, happy Friday, and enjoy! [...]

Week 24: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles

Here is this week’s 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… In addition, I had to link to The Rejectionist’s post about a place that sounds like a book lover’s heaven. ~*~ The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Dealing with Dragons, Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, & Talking to Dragons) by Patricia C. Wrede (YA fantasy) Instead [...]

Week 23: Princess of Glass

Here is this week’s 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Princess of Glass by Jessica Day George (YA fantasy) I am a sucker for a good fairy-tale retelling. Jessica Day George’s Princess series is one of these. Princess of Glass is the second (and hopefully not last!) of these books. Princess of the Midnight Ball [...]

Week 14: Winter Moon

This is my weekly 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Winter Moon by Mercedes Lackey, Tanith Lee and C.E. Murphy (fantasy short stories) To be brief: I like Lackey’s story. It’s a good comfort read for me, as most of her work is. However, if I were to pick out one weak point in this [...]

E-Book Week WIP

So we have a two-fer today! We get a WIP Weds, and another day of bookish stuff on the blog because I only just found out that this week is Read An E-Book Week! Oh look! A bee bag! (No I didn’t make it. JessaLu did.) What could be inside, I wonder? If you like [...]
