book review elsewhere, plus RT
I have a half-finished post about shipping and non-shipping, particularly in relation to Lost. I also have a longish post with a rundown of books I've read lately. I'll definitely put the latter up very soon, and finish and post some semblance of the former. Truth is, though, I've been working hard on a rewrite and all I want to think about are writing-related subjects. Which probably makes me a dull person, but so goes it. And I don't know that I should post that stuff here, because really, who wants to read about someone else's process?
(Well, I've also been obsessed with the election, but I'd just be regurgitating what I've read elsewhere, and what's the point of that?)
Anyway. What I'm here to say now is that I wrote a book review, but posted it somewhere else instead of here. See, I won an ARC (advance review copy) of Private Arrangements, by Sherry Thomas, which is a debut historical romance coming out tomorrow (Tuesday), on condition that I write up a review. So I did. Thankfully, I enjoyed the book a lot. Best current release I've read in a while. One of the two or three best books I've read so far this year.
(The others are Black Angel, by Barbara Samuel and Kushiel's Dart, by Jacqueline Carey, in case you were wondering. And yes, my next book post includes mini reviews of both.)
Anyway, if you feel like it, go follow that link and read what I have to say. Or, y'know, not. Either way. But I thought I'd let you guys know.
Oh, and what do you think of the latest Rob Thomas news? A pilot script for a 90210 retread spinoff AND a pilot script for a Cupid retread remake? I wonder if he'll pull either/both off. I have no intrinsic issue with his doing either. I think he's probably a great choice for the 90210 stupidity show because if anyone can add bite to an insipid high school drama, he probably can. Just beware the unintended ship! The man can't steer through those uncharted waters!
