So we’re getting better! While Space Boy isn’t up to Orson Scott Card’s normal caliber of writing, it was an entertaining and enjoyable novella. I’ve had this one ordered through Subterranean Press for awhile and received it about a week ago. It’s a wonderful edition as SubPress’ books always are and is signed by Card [...]

My blog came up for review today over at the Review My Blog website and Diva Dee’s review just cracked me up! She gave me an 8 out of 10, which is fine by me, but really didn’t do much of a review, which I understand. She admitted that she wasn’t very familiar with the [...]

So CJ gave me the laugh of the century this morning when she bestowed upon me the “Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award” with these kind words:
“Chris, you may be lacking one of the key elements to win this award, but on the other, you’ve got it made hands down”

I’VE CLEARLY LISTED WHERE SPOILERS ARE IN THE REVIEW…THE REST IS SAFE!
I can vividly remember reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for the first time in 1999. I remember a wave of excitement washing over me at what promised to be quite a great series of books. However, I don’t think I ever expected [...]

I’m making an attempt to slowly experience this last book in the Harry Potter series. I set a goal for myself to read only 100 pages a day so that I could have a whole “Harry Potter Week” for this last book, but I’m beginning to sabotage that plan. Day 1…read 100 pages, Day 2…read [...]

So today is my last day in Texas and I’m not ready to leave. This trip flew by way too fast. It’s been a perfect trip. Exactly what I wanted. We’ve had the time together that we wanted to spend, but it just hasn’t been enough….it never will be until we’re back in the same [...]

There are very odd noises coming from my stomach. At first I thought that maybe I was just watching too much Dr. Who and was hungover from last night, but it’s slowly being confirmed that it may indeed be a stomach virus. Just in time for a road trip to Texas. Well that should be [...]

In an effort to get the TBR bookcase less cluttered (yes, I no longer have a TBR pile, I have a full 3 shelf book case), I’ve decided to join Joy’s Seconds Challenge. I really wish I would’ve discovered Joy’s blog earlier. She’s a wonderful blogger who is also hosting the Nonfiction challenge that so [...]
