80s Wednesday

Okay, since I've been browsing through Wikipedia so often during the last few days, and happened to stop by the Rogue entry... I've decided to make her my pick for today. So I wasn't exactly into the X-Men back in the 80s. I wasn't a comic book kinda kid -- ever! Still…

SHADOWS IN THE DARKNESS

I finished this book yesterday afternoon, and really enjoyed it! Every available minute I had, I spent reading a little more... until I got to the end. Wow , what a cool book! I know I'll definitely check out the books that follow. Just gotta wait for the paperbacks! Lol. Anyway…

SHADOW TOUCH

This is the second Dirk & Steele novel by Marjorie M. Liu. It's Artur's story. And what a story it is. Though he becomes isolated from the rest of the agency, the world these characters inhabit is widened further. We get to find out some very interesting things. Artur can s…

80s Wednesday

Terminator Who doesn't remember this movie? Man, when this was released I was so freaked out -- couldn't wait to see it. But of course, I didn't watch it at the cinema... but when I did eventually watch it, I was captivated. It was such a freaky concept. Sarah Connor w…

80s Wednesday

And today I picked: Chuck Norris LOL. You know, the other day when we were using the Totalgym I couldn't help but think of Chuck Norris. I mean, he sponsors the product, right? He. He. And when I was a kid and my family got a VHS video player (VCR) in the early 80s, we st…

CELL

WOW! After working out last night, I thought I'd sit down and relax through a few chapters of CELL but instead wound up finishing it! We ended up going to bed a little later than usual but it was well worth it. I just couldn't put the book down again. I wanted to read it and see …

Stephen is King

Honestly, he is . After finishing another book on Friday night, I was wondering what would be next... all it took to decide was reading an article in a magazine while I was waiting to get a hair trim on Saturday morning. It was about Stephen King and his latest release Cell . After getti…

A VISION OF MURDER

Well, just finished another great book. The third Psychic Eye Mystery was an interesting one. It was also a little change of reading pace, though the story did involve some ghosts and a little mystery dating back to World War II. It was a really cool tale and Abby's a nice and frie…

EVEN VAMPIRES GET THE BLUES

Gee ... I was so hooked on this book I devoured the last 100 pages or so yesterday. It's such an awesome book. I love how Katie pumps her story full of humour and light-heartedness but at the same time injects it with a storyline toeing the edge of darkness. She's got a terrific k…

80s Wednesday

Now, this guy rocks ! Billy Idol I've always thought this guy was way cool! I used to love his badass attitude. He just seemed to go by life without giving a crap about what anyone else thought. And I love/d that. And his music? Woah. I love his old stuff. Actually, I'…

Busy reading

Yeah, as you can see from my past week's book entries -- I'm very much into the reading. I mean, that never changes, I'm always into reading. But sometimes (depending on what writing project I'm working on) I don't get enough time to fly through books. Well, now is not…

SERENITY: THOSE LEFT BEHIND

Both the hubby and I read this very cool Serenity comic today. Okay, it covers what happened between the last episode of Firefly and the movie Serenity . It was great! Had that same ol' feeling to it as the show, and explained a few things that weren't quite answered in the m…

DEAD AS A DOORNAIL

Ah, the 5th Sookie Stackhouse book. I've been waiting a year to read this one... and like all the one's before it, it was certainly worth the wait. She's a real down-to-earth, pure-hearted kinda girl our Sookie. She gets herself into a whole bunch of trouble in this one -- aga…

80s Wednesday

I almost forgot it was Wednesday today, had to double check with the hubby. Anyway, I'll get on with it now. This week I give you: V -- one word, lots of impact. Do you guys remember this miniseries , which was later followed by a series? I guess it was that popular, huh? And w…

NIGHTLIFE

Okay, this is a gorgeous cover, isn't it? Dark, pretty, creepy, intriguing... I finished reading this book last night. During the duration of my reading I kept going through a don't like it... yeah, I like it... no, it's giving me the shits... yeah, it's great... rollerco…
