Book Review: The Host
The Host: A Novel by Stephenie Meyer
When I think about the books I read in 2008, this was one of the best and one of the very few books to earn a five-star rating from me. The Host is a departure from my usual fare. I don't read very much Sci-Fi, as my tastes lean more toward fantasy. I was intrigued by the synopsis and because Stephenie Meyer is ( Read more... ) -

Book Review: Staked
Staked by J.F. LewisWell, unlike some of the books I've picked up in the last year I can at least say that I finished this one even if I'm not sure why. I was unimpressed from the start. I really liked some of the concepts and themes of this book but the execution was a bit awkward. The main characters were not even remotely likable, which is ( Read more... ) -
What's in a name?
I've been thinking about moving my journal to wordpress (hence last week's poll). I'm pretty sure I want to do it, but having trouble coming up with a domain name. I'm pretty sure I'm overthinking it, I always do that when I try to name anything. I considered "squeakywheel.com" but both the com and net versions are in use. I really don't want to ( Read more... ) -

Borrowed vs Bought -- A Literary Quandry
I spent more time in libraries in 2008 than I have in years. Heck, I spent more time *reading* in 2008 than I have in years. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it and how worthwhile it is to make time for it, which I really hadn't been. I also did some writing in 2008, and though I am trying not to put the cart before the horse while I'm doing ( Read more... ) -

Updates Galore
It's been a while since I posted much of anything, so... update time!
Reading: Currently shuffling between Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy and C.E. Murphy's Heart of Stone. Having trouble getting into the latter. The former is good, but it's the first time I've read a 'young adult' book since I was myself a 'young adult'. I usually avoid them ( Read more... ) -
Movies I want to see
Yeah, I know it's been a while since I had a real update. I'll try to get one soon. In the meantime, I'm using this spot to scribble down some movie titles and dates for future reference ( Read more... )
