Cat on a Keyboard: February 2014
http://nebblog.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Cat on a Keyboard. Tuesday, February 18, 2014. The SFWA Kerfuffle and Why it Matters. Anyway, there was talk of sexism rearing its ugly head again in the form of some person or persons involved with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America ( SFWA. There was mention of some kind of backlash to complaints about an demonstration of antiquated sexist views of women in SFF writing. Re-read the previous sentence in case my clumsy writing confused you: backlash to a complaint. Is is meant to be ironic?

Cat on a Keyboard: January 2014
http://nebblog.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Cat on a Keyboard. Saturday, January 25, 2014. The Proposal", Regency romance by Mary Balogh. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Finally, a romance novel that I actually like without reservation. Very few historical faux pax, and sexy without being trashy. Chock full of believable characters and dialogue, interesting settings, and story and character arcs. I was beginning to think this animal didn't exist, but here it is. I'm actually looking forward to trying something else by this author. View all my reviews.

Cat on a Keyboard: April 2014

Cat on a Keyboard. Thursday, April 03, 2014. On Stranger Tides", by Tim Powers. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. I'm a huge Powers fan, so it's no surprise that I loved this. It's not your typical pirate tale, but then what's typical? Minor spoilers * * *. Not particularly. The films are what they are. The book is a separate entity. Powers certainly seems happy with the arrangement, and that's all that matters. To people who would cry, "But they ruined the book! View all my reviews. Links to this post. Engrish&#...

Cat on a Keyboard. Saturday, September 20, 2014. PSA: you're not alone. He responded, "You try opposing him for a while, and you see if he's literal or not.". If you have children, please, please teach them and model for them that there's nothing weak about asking for help, especially if it's with something serious. Tell and show the people close to you that you are always there to lend an ear if they need to unburden themselves. Will this end all personal suffering? Will it fix everybody's problems?
