This is going to be short, both because I forgot to take notes on the book around the time I read it and because it's probably one of the books that I find the least interesting in the entire series. But going through Fool Moon gets you Grave Peril, so here it goes!

I've been pondering trying my hand at science fiction for NaNo this year. Thinking about it, I realized that while I've read a fair amount of older science fiction, I haven't read much that's come out in the past ten years or so. Does anyone have any recommendations for character-driven science fiction that involves space and/or space ships but ( Read more... )

Phase two of the experiment--I'm a little less certain about how this draft turned out.

First, a brief introduction: There were a few moments (and one major plot point) in Changes which completely surprised me. Something happened that I absolutely never expected-big enough that I don't want to say it since the book is still pretty new. In an attempt to figure out how it happened (what lead both Harry and the series to that place) I ( Read more... )

1. All of Buffy is on Netflix. This seems like it will be very bad for my productivity, but so far I've only rewatched "Welcome to the Hellmouth." More is definitely planned however ( Read more... )

Classics (either normal or genre) or a book that you really loved or something that really intrigued you ( Read more... )

I realized I haven't posted in over a month. Substantive post coming...later.

Instead, there is this link about the legislation that would require testing books written for those under twelve for lead.

I saw a few other people do this, and now I'm intrigued enough to try and figure out what I've read so far this year.

The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander

When I was in elementary school, I accidentally stumbled across The Dark Green Tunnel. I remember absolutely adoring it, and finding the sequel, The Magic Wand in one of the public libraries a few months later. I remember adoring that one too, and I can still remember scenes from both books very clearly (I think), which is odd, because I've only ( Read more... )
