The Geek Who Understands You
Anybody else using LiveMocha? Especially to learn French? I just joined (as TechnoMom, of course) and would like to have “friends” there. I started with the beginner level, lesson one, and actually learned a few new vocabulary words. (My wee…
Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder My review rating: 4 of 5 starsI strongly recommend reading Poison Study, Assassin Study, Magic Study, and Power Study all at a go. The two novellas are optional but canonical and fun. Snyder’s world seems…
