* Huge congratulations to Glass Hammer's Stephen R. Babb on the publication of his gorgeous The Lay of Lirazel in paperback, ebook, and audiobook form. The Lay Of Lirazel is narrative poetry told in epic fashion, but it is poetry fully equipped with fangs and enough terror to keep a reader turning pages till the last curse falls and death and doom

That cover is beautiful.

OH! I didn't know about Billy Boyd singing! I will check it out when I have time to swoon without interruption. He's such a talented singer and musician. I wish he was more well known in that regard!

Oh, I couldn't wait. He's lovely as ever!

Isn't the cover art gorgeous?

I agree 100% about Billy Boyd's talent. I'm so delighted he'll be featured as the writer/performer of the final "credits song" in the film series.

I love Sean Pertwee in Gotham. I haven't heard one way or the other about the show, but I sure hope it's renewed.

It'll be interesting, in what direction they take the next Star Wars movies. I'm looking forward to seeing them.

But not as much as I am the next Hobbit movie. Actually, the thing that really has my interest there is the romance between Kili and Tauriel. I'm under the impression that it's not in the book, so I'm hoping Kili's fate is also changed.

I'm with you 100%; I hope Gotham is renewed, too! It's got to be a good sign that they've already expanded it from a half season to a full season. *fingers crossed* I thought it might be fun, but I was wholly surprised by how much I love it. It's so well done.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Star Wars films, too!

It will be interesting to see how much Peter Jackson adds to the new Hobbit film. I'm a little worried/anxious, but on the other hand I'm dying to see some of the performances - especially Martin Freeman's and Richard Armitage's - in some of the scenes I know will be coming. It's hard to believe we've waited for soooo long, and now the final film is almost here! I've finally heard all of Billy Boyd's closing credit song, and it's so emotional; it feels like "goodbye" to this whole 'verse.

I hope that your lecture series will be doubleplusgood!
