The Hobbit safety video. And now Bear Grylls. And in case you're wondering, the rather large bird is a moa.they're (supposedly) extinct. Last year the lovely Cyphomandra. Who I am lucky to call a good friend, wrote a novella for Yuletide. It is based on The Bagman's Gambit. By The Decemberists. I finished it this morning and.oh it's good. I loved the characters and the plot twists.and if you feel like reading something different I would definitely recommend it! Which leads me to. Marvin. Yesterday I fini...

Walkabout: April 2014

Metal Heart (Meredith Shayne). Before I begin this review I want to make it clear that I am friends with the author. Good friends. I have tried very hard to not let that friendship influence my thoughts on Metal Heart, but I feel it best to disclose the friendship and let each of you decide for yourselves whether my review justifies the rating. Oh, and isn't the cover gorgeous? It totally fits the book IMHO! Wellno. It actually made sense. Sometimes things get in the way, you keep waiting for the right m...

Walkabout: When To Read
http://orannia.blogspot.com/2014/02/when-to-read.html
So I've had a book on my Currently Reading shelf at GoodReads that I have yet to start. Instead, I've been re-reading scenes from various books.a 'whatever takes my fancy' kind of thing. It's not that I don't want to read the book. I. I think part of the problem is that I consider the author a close friend and I don't want to not like it. Do I think I will not like it? So, are there ever times when you plan to read something, but just end up reading something else. 8 February 2014 at 4:00 PM. I absolutel...

http://orannia.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

And the count was 127… * faints. And then I went out and bought two more books! Which is, of course, totally the correct response when one has 127 unread books on the reading device! So, spillage time! How many unread (I originally wrote undread….LOL! Books do you have? The Earth Isn't Flat. No sirree it's not. Whic...

And since it's the season I thought I would.play *grin* So, I hereby bring you: The Big Book Challenge (yes, again). And when I say big I mean really big, because in this challenge, size really does matter. You see, even after reading a number of 'big' books last year, I still panic when I see them. They are so big I'm afraid they will eat my alive! The challenge rules are simple:. For me, i...

Walkabout: Where's Wally?
http://orannia.blogspot.com/2014/03/wheres-wally.html
For those of you not in the know, the Where's Wally? Books are detailed double-page spread illustrations depicting dozens of people doing a variety of things at a given location. The challenge is to find a character named Wally hidden in the group. I was always terrible at finding Wally. And sometimes I wonder if I don't have the same problem with time. Soit's been almost a month since my last. 5 March 2014 at 3:29 AM. Oh, funny, our version of those books is Wheres Waldo? 9 March 2014 at 7:50 PM. Thank ...
