In Legend Born by Laura Resnick My review rating: 3 of 5 starsWell-written high fantasy, but honestly, it just went on too long. So far, everybody has lost someone important. Anybody who loves anyone seems to be doomed. Betrayals are…
I’m Allergic to Our Bedroom
More specifically (I hope), something in it. Not Sam, happily, but every time I go in there, I’m all stuffed up within a few minutes. We keep that room closed and have a window a/c unit in there because the…
New Addiction
Whoops! What have I done to myself? I was frustrated that there were a fair number of books on my “shelves” at Good Reads that had no associated cover image. I collected all but, I think, two of the cover…
Good Reads Migration Finished!
That was not painless at all. The import feature is tetchy, at best. I had to go through the entire list of 1300+ books and fix their “bookshelf” assignments as well as add some that just didn’t import at all.…

Well, I think I’m about done waiting for an update of Now Reading. I’m about 1/3 of the way through fixing the 158 broken links on this site caused by the plugin not working with the latest versions of WordPress,…

Sleepy!
I didn’t sleep very well last night, although I managed to stay up all day yesterday (unusual lately). Unfortunately, I ended up sleeping most of the day, today, and I’m still sleepy! So I hope I can sleep well again,…
Glad I Stopped Reading!
Love Bites gives a synopsis of the first three all four Twilight books. Edit: Katie informed me that the above actually mentions events in book four, which caused me to accidentally give her a spoiler. Whoops! It’s a really, really…
Drama Circuits Still Overloaded
My real-life drama tolerance circuits were totally burned out with marriage v.3. I’m cool with that. I was able to handle much more of it in fiction, though I’m not big on whiney characters. I guess the Stephanie Meyer backlash…
Review: New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
I finished reading New Moon, which was much, much more dramatic (emotionally) than Twilight. As in, Bella goes into a zombie state for months, and the book just has blank pages with the names of each month as placeholders–October, November,…
