Review roundup. Because it's a fast way to clear some links.

I am home from the memorial, and I am exhausted. Plus my link file is (still) exploding. So here: have a review roundup, and I'll try to produce some actual content for you soon.

This YouTube video gives five reasons to read the Newsflesh trilogy, and it's brilliant. I salute the guy who made it, even as I quail in fear at what he's willing to ( Read more... )

I dunno if you saw my Tweet the other day, but anyway...
There I was, driving home from Shepherdstown, WV. We're essentially talking middle of nowhere up near the Maryland and Virginia borders. I'm in the parking lot of a Rita's Water Ice, about to hop onto I-81 for the 4 hour drive home.
I look to my right, and the dude sitting in the car parked next to me is reading Blackout.
I start to pull out, double-take, pull back in, roll down my window and give him the thumbs-up. We exchange a few words about how awesome the series is, before I leave for real.
Awesomely random encounter. :)

Ha, that video is great!

Happy to see such glowing reviews!

Yes. :)

Just finished reading the book and I loved it. There should be a term for that sad feeling you get when you're coming to the end of a book you're really enjoying, and I'll be recommending it heartily to our school librarian. Thanks fot this and I'm off to start reading some of your others :)

Oh, and also, without wanting to be rude, dudes, this trilogy is so much better than the Harry Potters & Hunger Games!

Aw, thank you!

The video review--ha, ha. Not your everyday review. But! Is it just because he's in the UK that he said MY-ra or have I been pronouncing it wrong? (more like MEERah)

You've got it right - or else one of Seanan's carefully picked Machete squad has been getting it wrong within arm's reach of Seanan.

seanan_mcguire July 6 2012, 21:15:51 UTC

It's MEE-ra. He was wrong. But I shan't be correcting him. :)
