Readers needed. Must be able to bench at least 150 lbs.
For two weeks, I am only at my desk 2.5 days out of the week. The rest of the time I'm at various book events (committee meetings, evaluation sessions, previews, etc.), and it was at one of these book events that I learned the following (which, okay, I could have learned on Amazon but I didn't):
The third Christopher Paolini Inheritance book, ( Read more... ) -
And all this time, I thought he was urban legend
I remember a while back that florahart posted an exchange with someone who IMed her and asked her to write a fic out of the blue. And I read Fandom Wank every now and again, and I can Google with the best of them, plus I have a really good memory for names, so I saw this crazy coming even before I responded.
What can I say? I needed a laugh.

Just when you think it's safe to re-engage in life
I have been BURIED. Not literally, thought sometimes it feels like it. The corner of my office is full of carts and boxes and stacks of books. I'm always behind on one review or the other. March and April are always terrible months at work, and this year is no exception. So, shortly ( Read more... ) -
An open note to my Remixer
Greetings, o writer who is remixing me for remixredux08! Here's a note that I couldn't put in my application form that may be useful to you:
Although I have only one qualifying fandom for Remix (Harry Potter), please feel free to remix either my Harry Potter fics (save for An Ancient Magic and The Edge of the River, of course) or my Numb3rs fics. But. If ( Read more... ) -
Adult authors in the YA sandbox, Part I: Get With the Program
I am on quite the rampage lately.
This just makes me boggle. Yes, I know it's old for a blog post, but I just saw it so here I am. It damn near made my head explode ( Read more... ) -
Not everything is in Google
Reading the Google blog today (look! I'm behind on reading my feeds! surprise!), I noticed this message about an open house of sorts tonight at their new Pittsburgh offices.
The funny comes in the location of said office. They've mapped it here. Their offices are maybe a 5-minute walk from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Look at the map ( Read more... ) -
I really wish you'd stop saying that.
Instead of writing booktalks, I'm blogging. Yay!
While reading this review of Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr, I thought, "Yes, yes, okay, I agree..." and then it all came to a screeching halt.
Let it be known that I did not like Ink Exchange by any stretch of the imagination. While the ideas might have been strong, a lot of things about that book ( Read more... ) -

Mr. Monk and the YA novel
You know you read too much YA literature when you're watching tonight's episode of Monk and the first thing you think is, "OMG, they totally lifted that plotline from Love Curse of the Rumbaughs! (Which is getting THE BEST cover on its reprint later this year.) It's almost as scandalous as the time when all the YA lit world saw The Village and ( Read more... )
