I was introduced to Kelley Armstrong, if you’ll remember, through my last good read, Dates From Hell. The protagonist was an interesting woman, and I was more than eager to delve into her ‘Women of the Otherworld’ series.
Bitten is the story of Elena Michaels, a woman with the dubious distinction of being the only known [...]

Review: Dates From Hell
February 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
My friend from work, Sky, suggested that I start reading the Kim Harrison books, and because I’d developed a love for all things Charlaine Harris, I agreed. Kim Harrison has written a series about a witch named Rachel Morgan, and they could not be more engrossing books. The character development is not obvious [...]

The Dark is Rising, but not my spirits.
May 22nd, 2007 · No Comments
I’m reading an interview of the scriptwriter who adapted The Dark Is Rising, and I just want to cry.

Today’s been a bit of a manic day.. in part due to my yesterday meeting with my apt. rental office. Not feeling especially up to discussing that right now, so I’ll get onto the lyrics.

Before I moved back to Knoxville this year, my mother sent me a large box of books–it may have even been two boxes.. but it was her collection of David Eddings’ books… the Belgariad, The Mallorean, and one other of his series of books.
It was over 20 years ago when I started reading the Belgariad. [...]

Finished Ender’s Game. Great book, and I’m probably the last person on the earth who hadn’t read it, so I won’t bother to recommend it. Finished it in a day, and was disappointed that we didn’t have the next book on hand. Will borrow from someone, or library. Ender rocks, though [...]

Below is a listing of the (so-called) top 100 books of all time.
It’s bolded if I’ve actually read it already, and I’m going to be posting this as one of my ‘memories’ posts…so that I can go back to it and edit as I read more. We’ll see if I can’t knock these titles [...]

So I finally finished reading Earth by David Brin, and really, it’s a great book. Lots of food for thought. Lots of it I didn’t really understand, and I had to write down the big words so that I could look them up on dictionary.com — seriously. It’s a good book, but [...]
