Anyone know of YA SFF literature with mentions of mental illness?
There is something oddly satisfying about hunting for lists of books and seeing the same books come up time and time again. It makes me feel like I am actually finding the books I will need. The sad thing is that I know the issues I'm looking at come up a lot on the side and aren't tagged, which is frustrating. I guess this will be the first of ( Read more... ) -

So apparently, there is this relatively,new show on ABC called Off the Map, which I had thought looked interesting when it first came on, but had never really watched. Last night, I had it on in the background for long enough that today I decided to watch the episode on Hulu.
So part of the plot line that I didn't get to preview last night was on ( Read more... ) -

There might even be more than one entry daily. A number of these may be private, but I hope some of these can be public. Anything other than a simple creative endevor to get my ( Read more... ) -
Virtual Tour Fun
Before my brain starts bleeding from the fun that is over 250 flash cards on Cognitive Neuroscience, I thought I would bring to everyone my contribution to Mindy Klasky's virtual tour for Magic and The Modern Girl. The book should be in stores now. These are refined, enhanced, and spoiler-free versions of the questions that I submitted. I have read ( Read more... ) -
