In a bit of comic criticism, is anyone else sick to death of these HUGE EVENTS that pop up every four months or so? The damn things must boost sales, but I hate crossover stories, especially when they involve books I don’t usually read. And anyway, an event should be… Read more »
I think life might be settling down a bit. The new job is evening out, I moved back to the Big City (and cut my commute from two hours to ten minutes, woo!), and it’s time to start blogging again. I’ve been reading like a fiend, too, so I’ll have… Read more »
I have a pet peeve when it comes to paranormal romance. I can’t stand it when authors stick a couple of vampires into what is basically chick lit and call it paranormal. You see, I didn’t get into paranormal romance as a fan of romance novels. I like urban fantasy… Read more »

My love for Fillion even made me watch Slither, despite my overwhelming hatred of gross-out horror movies (the laughs completely outweighed the gross-outs,… Read more »

First of all, they’re focusing on teenage girls… Read more »
If there’s one thing I hate in the world, it’s not finishing a book. I hate starting a book and not being able to make it all the way through. It drives me nuts. But Forbidden Magic is making me nuttier. It started out interestingly enough. Spiffy concept, Irish mythology,… Read more »
