BiblioAddict The First Step on the Road to Recovery

On book trailers and reading queues:
Adam Haslett’s Union Atlantic is definitely a novel that’s shot to the top of my covet list the past week or so. The queue for it at the library is ridiculously long, but then so is my personal reading queue so the jury is still on whether I’ll buy or [...]

On why Jane Austen is special to so many people:
I’ll let these people do all the talking.  They’ll do a much better job than I ever could.
…….
Happy Friday, folks.

On missed Bloggiestas, things around your neck, short stories that are too short, first among sequels, dangerous cheese, cleaning up shop, and absolute zero:
Just as I figured, my internet wasn’t fixed until after all the Bloggiesta fun was over.  *tears*  Thank you for all of your well-wishes, though!  And, honestly a weekend without internet wasn’t [...]

I was trawling around on the internet this evening looking for a suitable video to post, when I stumbled across this ridiculously good book trailer for Stiches by David Small.  Stitches was shortlisted for this year’s National Book Award, and if this trailer is merely a tease of what’s to be found in the book, [...]

I’d intended to post something else, but I had to share this video first. Here, have a chuckle. Tagline: And you thought computers were difficult…

On my inherent flakiness, internet on the fritz, lesbian fiction, and all that good reading:
If it were possible to hug and kiss a blog I would definitely do so right now.  Oh, BiblioAddict how I’ve missed you!  I know, I know.  I say this – what? – at least like every other month, right?  By [...]

On odd surprises:

I just have one question: how in the world did I miss an Odd Thomas web series for over a year?!  It boggles my mind.
For those of you not in the know, Odd Thomas is the star of Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas series.  Odd’s a pretty simple guy: he  lives in a small [...]

It’s been kind of quiet around here this week this week, I know.  I’ve been short on sleep and well, the energy just wasn’t there.  But I wanted to share this small bit of weekend love.
As most of you already know, Quirk Books, the publisher of the immensely popular (and much derided) Pride and Prejudice [...]

Well, it’s hour 8, which means this is my final update.  I guess now is the time for me take stock of just what I’ve accomplished.  Need I say that it wasn’t nearly as much as I’d planned? In fact, the only thing I really managed to complete was organizing and updating my feedreader.  Which [...]

Today, I am delighted to host my very first blog tour!  I’m new at this blog-hosting thing and I’m not completely sure how these things work, so I’m just going to wing it and hope everything turns out okay.  Kind of like that time when I tried to fix my broken VHS player by wiggling [...]
