Reviews
It suddenly occurs to me that I owe reviews for various things, and not all of them cars.
They are for BOOKS!
Castle Hangnail, by ursulav
This was a gift to me from the incomparable medicmsh and one of the first books I've read by this author and, I have to say, I'm instantly a fan. This shouldn't surprise you, but I enjoy tongue-in-cheek, dry humor. (This is most likely a by-product of me being corrupted by Monty Python, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, and other examples of British Humor. Sorry...Humour).
Featuring a cast of engaging characters, witty dialogue, and plenty of heart, Castle Hangnail is well worth inclusion in your family library. (I'm filing this one away as a Christmas Present for one of my nieces in England, who is a) A hopeless book addict herself and b) in her own words, "MAD about bats".
Either Side of the Strand, by haikujaguar .
When I wasn't watching Britsh hilarity growing up, I typically got addicted to watching/reading Sci-Fi. When I was in high school, I became addicted to Star Trek: Voyager, partially because the story appealed to me (a lone crew, against unfamilliar territory) but mostly because Jeri Ryan's outfit as Seven-of-Nine, the Voyager's Borg Crewmember.
Strand hearkens back to the best of Star Trek. Pleny of tension, drama, with a few light-hearted moments thrown in with plenty of philosophy to back it up. Bottom line, if you like your Star Trek, but thought that it would be improved by casting practically nothing but space cat-girls, this is for you.
That's it for now. More to Come!
