Bujold, Lois McMaster. Miles, Mystery and Mayhem. Interesting. Good. Lots of good characterization. All terrific and good.

Captain Marvel. Good.

Carter, Ally. Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy. Okay, although probably not as good as the first one, as the concept is no longer virgin.
Carter, Ally. Don't Judge a Girl by her Cover. Probably the most solid, this adventure gives Cameron stakes and develops the personalities of her friends.
Carter, Ally. Only the Good Spy Young. Really, really good. I'm enjoying the direction of these stories, and can recommend the series.
Carter, Ally. Out of Sight, Out of Time. VERY GOOD. RECOMMENDED. Best one yet, and I can hardly wait for the last one.

Gaiman, Neil. Sandman Overture. Loving the Dream of Cats.
Gaiman, Neil. The Ocean at the End of the Lane. This couldn't be more Gaimany. I am also amazed how thin this is. They hang on his every word, so he can write tiny novels. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm saying it never changes.
Gaiman, Neil and P. Craig Russell. Murder Mysteries. Impactual and creepy.
Ghost. Interesting.
Goodall, Jane. Jane Goodall: Fifty Years at Gombe. An interesting overview of the work Goodall has done in Africa for the past 50 years. Truth in advertising.

IFSTA. Fire and Emergency Service Orientation and Terminology. 5th Edition. Reading this for class.

Jones, Steven and Peter Hayward. Coping with Schizophrenia: A Guide for Patients, Families, and Caregivers. Researcher.
Justice League Dark. Meh.
Justice League Unlimited. Meh.

Krasnostein, Alisa and Julia Rios. Kaleidoscope: Diverse YA Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories. A mixed bag of a collection with some very good stories and some less that stellar entries.
Lanagan, Margo. Cracklescape. Very literary.
Leckie, Ann. Ancillary Justice. I can see why it won its Nebula. Ambitious. I like the first story line better.

Mignola, Mike. Ghost and Hellboy. Meh.
Mignola, Mike. Abe Sapien. The Shape of Things to Come. I liked this.

Noble, Ransom. Don't Tell Your Mother. A straight YA read for a friend.
Older, David Jose. Salsa Nocturna Stories. So looking forward to this. Loved this. Read this!

Paradise Icon 3 Readings. For the workshop at the end of the month.
Point One. Meh.
Pratchett, Terry. Raising Steam. Disc World number 40, and another Moist Von Lipwig. The bouncing around initially is bothersome.
Pratchett, Terry. Small Gods. A re-read of what is likely my Disc World favorite, and Terry Pratchett at the height of his powers.
Pretty Deadly. Meh.
Ramanujan, A.K. Folktales from India. A really original and interesting selection of folktales that were a nice change of pace from others.

Saga. Superbly good. Recommended.
Samurai Jack. Recaptures the feeling of the old series well.
Sands, Katharine. Making the Perfect Pitch: How to Catch a Literary Agent's Eye. A little dated, but some sound advice.

Sekida, Katsuki. Zen Training: Methods and Philosophy. Interesting how to and anecdotes about the different parts of zen.
Sichel, Deborah and Jeanne Watson Driscoll. Women's Moods: What Every Woman Must Know about Hormones, the Brain, and Emotional Health. Interesting and in part useful.

Springer, Nancy. The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline. Good.
Springer, Nancy. The Case of the Gypsy Goodbye. Sad, but satisfying conclusion.
Stevenson, Rebecca. The Prometheus Tapestry. Reading Rebecca's novel. There's some beginning issues, and some character consistency issues, but also some really, really strong language. Some nice nods to folklore and history.
Stump, Bryon. Date Night. Bryon's gaming story about Arshad and his princess.
Suri, Miranda. Blood is Thicker. Reading a novel for a friend.
Survivor. Meh.

Vandermer, Jeff. Wonderbook. FANTASTIC! RECOMMENDED! Still FANTASTIC! Still RECOMMENDED!
Van Eekhout, Greg. California Bones. I wasn't certain about this, but in the end it worked for me in spite of the cannibalism. Which is not a line I expected to ever say...
Velvet. I really, really like Brubaker's work here.
Ward, Tim. Order of Something. This is dreadful. Really dreadful.
Warren, Kaaren. Through Splintered Walls. Scary and satisfying stories.
Weber, David. Off Armageddon Reef. The prose is truly bad in this. I've been taught not to write like this in workshops. So, why is this guy published?
Weber, David. On Basilisk Station. I don't expect to like this. It turned out to be okay, but has the same problem as the Hornblower novels, upon which it is patterned. It's about the navy, and I'm not too excited to read that.
Weigel, Jeff. Dragon Girl:The Secret Valley. Okay
Weight Watchers Magazine. Reading various issues.
Wiebe,Kurtis J. Rat Queens: Sass and Sorcery. Witty!
Wild's End. New indy comic with promising start.

Watching: 123
Agents of SHIELD. I'm still lukewarm, but it rises on occasion.
Agents of SHIELD Season 2. Better than it was last season.
Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible No Good Very Bad Day. How could I say no to this? It was actually quite good. Steve Farrell is notable in it.
Amistad. Spielburg's slavery film. While the music lurches into his usual sentimentality, for the most part he does a good job with it.
The Avengers. A rewatch.
Banner of Stars One. The SF heavy Japanese series.
Banner of Stars Two. The SF heavy Japanese series with heart.
The Belle of Amhurst. Julie Harris in a performance as Emily Dickinson.

Cosmos. Watching the new version.
The Count of Monte Cristo. The Depardieu version. A rewatch.
Crossbones. Well done, Malkovich and Coyle. An interesting pirate show that will probably be cancelled in spite of my recommendation, or perhaps because of it.
Cuban Fury. See Nick Frost dance salsa. For realz. The movie is a bit uneven, but still watchable.
The Daily Show. Back for another year.
Dante's Inferno. A rewatch.
Dark Shadows. Cheesy goodness from 1991.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. This movie is not going to get the attention it deserves. It is dark, but as important to the genre in terms of special effects as Star Wars was. Stop motion has come a long way.
Dead Poet's Society. I had to rewatch it. Some parts are now very hard to watch after Williams' suicide. "We are food for worms." :/
Dear Frankie. A sad but hopeful movie about a deaf boy and his parents.
Don Juan de Marco. A small film that showcases Depp and Brando. Charming.
Downton Abbey Season 4. More of the same soap opera. Julian, you were too mean to Anna, I'm just saying.
Dragon Riders of Berk. Watching a bit here and there.
Dr. Doolittle. Not the crappy one, okay. Holds up fairly well.
Dr. Who. First Series with Eccleston and Piper. Our new rewatch.

The Fastest Indian in the World. Well done, Anthony Hopkins!
Feast. The short in front of Big Hero Six that was much better than the movie.

Frozen Extras. Nice pictures. Wish they'd built that attraction.
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Fan-freakin-tastic. RECOMMENDED.
Ghost in the Shell Second Gig. 'Cause if you're cerebral, you likes your Ghost in the Shell.

Ghost Busters. Oh, how 80s! But fun to see it again.
The Girl from Paris. It was okay.
Godzilla. It was okay.
Gokusen. A rewatch.
Gotham. Gritty and unlikely. But interesting.
The Grand Budapest Hotel. One of my favorites for this year. Absurd, quirky, and very clever.
The Grand Budapest Hotel Short Features. They teach you to make Mendel's pastries. How cool is that?
Greyfriars Bobby. From my childhood, and unlike Xanadu, holds up just as well. That said, there are some wonderful adult themes I missed as a kid. Overall, great.
Guardians of the Galaxy (X3). It was okay, but not life changing. Upon second viewing a much better story than I initially thought.
Her. A little slow, but a meaty movie with lots to think about regarding artificial intelligence.
Hercules. Way to go, Dwayne Johnson. Nicely done.
Hero. A rewatch.
The History Boys. Plays like a play, and is terribly undisturbed about sexual abuse.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Your holiday rewatch.
How to Train Your Dragon Two (X3). Stunning and amazing and with stakes. I'm going to give this one the best film of the year so far.
The Inauguration of Barack Obama. Only six years later and I reached this in my netflix cue.

Investigation with Paula Zahn. About Patrick's Anastasia.

Justice League Crisis on 2 Earths. A rewatch.
Legend of Korra. Book 3: Change. Woah. Zuko. A good set so far.
Legend of Korra. Book 4: Balance. This is grim. Gots Toph, though.
The Lego Movie (X2). Everything is awesome! Everything is great when you're part of a team!
The Librarians. Meh.
Love, Actually. The holiday rewatch.
Madagascar 3. A rewatch during a rough weekend.
Made in Dagenham. A strike movie set in Britain in the 1960s.
Malificent. It was okay.
Marvel Agents of SHIELD. This show has really picked up.
The Mayor of Casterbridge. With a great many of the Rome crew, this is a very interesting and faithful rendition of the Hardy novel. Overall, I was very happy with this. RECOMMENDED.
Merry Madagascar. A holiday rewatch.
Millenium Actress. A rewatch.
Mission Impossible: Season 2. Well, you know, this can only get so good, but if it's what you're looking for, it's okay.
Mission Impossible: Season 3. Thanks, Steve.
Mission Impossible: Season 4. Swapping out Martin Landau with Leonard Nimoy, and no replacement for Cinnamon at all.
Mission Impossible: Season 5. Things get groovy, man.
Mockingjay Part 1. Really depressing. Bad decision to divide this book.
Monster High Hauntleywood Special. Just okay, but the poorest writing of any of them.
Monster High Freaky Fusion. So. Pretty good overall, although there was one big sappy climax.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Darkly comedic but okay.
The Musketeers. In spite of the reviews, this is craptastic. I will abandon it as soon as Alexander Siddig is not in the next episode.
Nadesico. A rewatch. Abandoned and donated to half price books. Man, this is bad.
Oblomov. Mosfilm's suprisingly good story of an awakened man.
Only Lovers Left Alive. A slow and meditative look at vampires. Excellent acting by Swinton and Hiddleston. VERY slow.

The Penguins of Madagascar Movie. The movie for people who say Yay! to the TV show. Me, in other words.
Penny Dreadful. Season One. Yup, a bit derivative.
Petshop of Horrors. A rewatch, thanks to Convergence.

Rome Season One. A rewatch while exercising.
Rome Season Two. A rewatch while exercising.
Saltimbanco. A rewatch while exercising.
Shamanic Princess. A rewatch.
The Sorcerer and the White Snake. A beautiful rewatch.
Sherlock. Season 4. Finally. The wedding episode, wherein I actually like Sherlock as a character, because he's been a huge dick and I didn't like it.
Spider-Man 2. What a dud. Don't even think about it.
The Story of Qui Ju. An interesting power struggle set in modern China. Somewhat farcical and tragic at the same time.
Toy Story that Time Forgot. Fun.
Triangle Waist Fire from HBO Video. Cheery way to spend the afternoon catching up on fire assignments.
Thor: The Dark World. Repeating while exercising.
Thor: The Dark World Extras. Really liked the two brothers segment.
Twelve Years a Slave. History is hard to watch, sometimes. Great performances.
The Wizard of Oz. A rewatch.
Xanadu. I loved this as a 13 year old girl, but it is just so very bad. :)
X-Men Days of Future Past (X2). Just okay.
