Books: The big entertainment story this week is, of course, that New Moon is in theaters today. As I did with Twilight, I'll wait for DVD. This means I won't be anywhere declaring that I'm for Team Edward or Team Jacob. But I did finish reading Graceling today, so for now, I'll just be on team Po...
Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into Civilization's End by Lawrence E. Joseph My rating: 2 of 5 stars The book in an on itself was ok, if you're into that kind of stuff. I'm a bit of a sucker for prophecies and end of the world, so I was eager to read a book about it. It was dubbed as "An...
it probably doesn't matter what edition i have up here. there are probably a million different editions out there, and so i'll just stick with the first thing i find that's not the movie tie-in. anyway, with this book it wasn't so much a matter of deciding what to read, but rather, it was an...
I met the lovely and talented Lauowolf at a local coffee shop. It is NOT a chain, it's a proper shop where they roast the coffee beans on-site. They also have a redonk number of teas. Excessive smoothie flavors. And baked goods, plus salads and sandwiches and every flavor possible of Italian soda....

If you love to read as much as I do, I have some wonderful books that I love to read over and over again. I highly recommend these for anyone and especially anyone who loves to be inspired. If you have read any of these already - I would love to hear your thoughts on them. The Way of Buddha Knockout...
I actually have enough material to write a "Bell, book, and candle", but this would prove to be too much work. Especially because the Candlelight USA compilation CD is mostly metal-type music that I would have to grind through to write about the last piece of the puzzle. Instead, here's some random...
BreakThru Radio today announced the premier episode of BookTalk with DJ Piera that features both published and unpublished authors, their works, and the music that has inspired them along the way. The show consists of a one on one interview, a reading by the author, and a short personal playlist of...
I known this story. And Beast become to handsome prince at last. It's happy ending. The Beast is truly terrifying, but, as Beauty soon realizes, nothing is quite as it seems.
Yesterday I bought a collection of Bernard Shaw one-act plays (fuck Dan Brown, plays are the best things to read on airplanes) and something called 'The Jewish Century'. Together they cost 8 Aus-bucks. The Jewish Century starts out like this: Modernization is about everyone becoming urban, mobile,...
Starting in January, I will be participating in the Abandoned Books Challenge posed by BookCrosser Secretariat. So here is my list of books that I have abandoned but would like to try again. I am sure I won't be able to get through all of these in a single year, but I will update this post as I...
Acabei (finalmente e já não era sem tempo!) de ler o "Sementes Mágicas" de V S Naipaul. Um livro que me agradou bastante, tal como espero sempre de qualquer livro de Naipaul. No entanto confesso que que a leitura por altura do capítulo 11 ("Papalvos") deste livro é que me fascinou bastante....
NaNoWriMo: 24,624 words so far Believe me, it's getting a total re-write when I finish it and holiday gift making. This is totally gonna be an outline. Parts are good enough, parts I think go off track because I'm rushing. Reading: Finished Grave Secret (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 4) . So I had...
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn - I really enjoyed this book. It goes back and forth between the past and present but doesn't ever become confusing (yay!). Libby is the survivor of a family massacre when she is only 6 years old. Her brother Ben is convicted of killing her mother and her older sisters....
I have always wanted to read a novel by Jean Plaidy. Everyone knows that I'm a sucker for historical fiction and Plaidy is its numero uno authority! She has written more than a hundred books which have sold more than 100 million copies all over the world!!! Unfortunately, Plaidy books here in the...
Last month, I've bought Lensey Namioka's MISMATCH, a book about a Chinese-American girl who fall in love with a Japanese-American schoolmate. With the war deeply etched on her grandmother's mind, how can she have a happy ending with her newfound love when both of their families aren't approving...
It's been a while since I've read a book. With all the requirements that I have to pass, I can't find a time to read for pleasure unlike when I was still a Junior. Anyway, I managed to read one book last month, entitled MISMATCH by Lensey Namioka. This month, I have finished ONE book by JEAN PLAIDY!...
I read a book today. The title is "CORDUROY'S CHRISTMAS SURPRISE". This story is very interesting. Corduroy remained very cute. I like Christmas. Because Christmas is happy time and happy day. Corduroy hung his stocking on the mantel and he left milk and cookies on the table for you know who. Maybe...
Coop - As I was reading this book I kept thinking, this is not what I expected, its just okay, but as I closed the book when I had finished the last page, I thought to myself... that was pretty good. He buys tape measures every other trip to the store because he is always having a hard time finding...
