I don’t have a bell tv, just an LG flat panel, but I do like watching HD shows on it.
Currently, one of my favorite shows is Castle, as much because Nathan Fillion is in it, as because the witty banter rocks my boat. Of course, the title character is a mystery author, so what [...]

For me, bookstores are as much fun as orlando vacations, but I haven’t had a chance to visit one in weeks, and my TBR (to-be-read) stack is dwindling. Sort of.
I mean, I have all but the first two Aurora Teagarden books left to read, but the problem here is that I’m leaving on Thursday, [...]

I’ve been hearing murmurs about the upcoming movie for a while, [...]

First, I won’t be reading or reviewing much this month, as I’m writing up a storm. I’d say that I’m participating in NaNoWriMo, but I’m not, exactly. I’m cheating. For details, please read this post at my regular blog. The post in question has a link to fragments and snippets and suchlike.
Second: Interviews with Keith [...]

I just received the emailed interview from Julia Holden, and while she doesn’t talk about fictional Las Vegas homes for sale (or trailers stashed behind hotels or casinos, for that matter) the subjects do include Paris, pseudonyms, future plans, and the Folies Bergere.
The authors who’ve been contacted are picked because they’re fairly accessible – with [...]
