Ok, so the dog days of August are over- and with it comes the start of September- a time from my youth when it meant a return to School and the opportunity to fulfill my thirst for knowledge and learning. Seriously- I loved learning. (I hated the return to waking up early- as most of you already can tell). And with this learning also came the semi- ( Read more... )

Wow, it is already August... which means that we are just 5 months away from 2010.

Seriously, take a moment and think about that. 2010..... Excluding the obvious sci fi/ literature references that the concept of 2010 bring to mind (yes, I am talking about the Arthur C. Clarke book, for those who are less than Geek....), the idea of 2010 seemed to ( Read more... )

Ok, somehow, in all that is going on in my life these days, I COMPLETELY forgot to post a TBR list for the month of June. (::Slaps the hand with a thick Shakespeare book:: Ouch…). So, this month, I am going to include both month’s lists reading list- with reviews- as well as a bit of what I wrote last month. (June, for the most part, has been a ( Read more... )

Well, April is over and it was a pretty rough month for me, personally. A lot of ups and downs; a lot of new stressors and pressure placed on me. But I managed to survive and for the most part, keep my sanity. (Although I am sure a few people would have a few CHOICE comments to make on my sanity…. ::glances with suspicious eyes:: yeah, I am talk to ( Read more... )

            So the month is over- which means that we are just 9 short months away from 2010.  (Isn’t THAT a scary thought.  All my life, 2010 represented a) a future of hovercars, jet packs, and exotic foodstuffs, and b) the setting for the 2nd Arthur C. Clarke novel.  Sadly, I don’t see anything in the air that has not been there for a century ( Read more... )

{I only realized today that I have not yet posted this month's TBR list. I am SOOOOO sorry about this; I know how much all of you enjoy reading what I am reading, have read, and will read- wow, I just used every tense of the word "read" in that last sentence. But in my defense, my mind this past 6 weeks has been torn in WAY to many directions....}

TBR FOR February 2009

Star Trek: Destiny Book 3- Lost Souls- David Mack. This is the final book in the Destiny Series. And really, the best was saved for last. The build up in the previous books was amazing- the escalating attacks on the Federation by the Borg; the Federation President’s alliance building; the back stories of the lost Columbia ( Read more... )

WOW- the year is over. And WHAT a year it has been… seriously, I am surprised by what all has happened in the past 12 months….

However, this is a TBR posting, and as such, needs to be limited to BOOK related topics, so here is a break down of how the past month has gone, from a reading perspective…

This month, I finished the following novels:

TBR FOR DECEMBER 2008

* Next President- Joseph Flynn: This book’s plot was pretty simple- an assassin is sent by a blackmailing individual to kill the first African American Candidate for President of the United States. Can he do it- or will he be stopped? Sounds interesting- well, it was. The book is set during the final months of the 2004 ( Read more... )

Wow… it just seemed like it was October 3, and now, the month is OVER. It is amazing how quickly you loose track of time when working 50 to 60 hours a week!!! And yet, I still managed to read several books this past month….

Star Wars: Force Unleashed- Sean Williams- I was sort of disappointed in this book. During the 90’s, when there was an ( Read more... )
