I finished reading Gabaldon’s An Echo in the Bone over the weekend. Because so many people read blogs through readers now, and they don’t always recognize the “more” function, I’m not going to put spoilers below the fold. I’m going to post a few thoughts in the comments instead, because you have to deliberately read [...]

I’ll start with NCIS: Los Angeles: Not a fan. I have a feeling if we continue watching it, it’ll be because it’s on after NCIS and there’s nothing else to watch.
The good: LL Cool J. I love him and I think he doesn’t get enough credit as an actor. He’s also eleventy billion kinds [...]

So Gabaldon’s An Echo in the Bone releases today. Whether or not to buy it has been an agonizing decision for me—do I want to keep reading the series until Jamie’s inevitable death (*sob*) or stop reading now and let them live on forever in my mind? Do I want to avoid spoilers or seek [...]

(This cold is seriously kicking my ass despite the cold meds, which are also kicking my ass. Rather than radio silence, here’s a blog repeat, originally posted on 7-26-07):
This Thursday Thirteen is dedicated to every writer who’s ever submitted to NY by snail mail and had to make the long, dreaded walk to the mailbox [...]

I had a post in mind explaining why it pisses me off when people start tinkering with the fundamental core concepts of the romance genre, but since I’ll be without internet access for the weekend, I’ll save that for next week.
Instead…my random ponderings of the morning, let me show you them.
This morning I was thinking [...]

Mad’s giving away a print copy of ADRENALINE at Novel Thoughts! That’s the first two Devlin Group stories together in print!

I had to swing into the library yesterday to grab a few books for SK, and I happened to notice the most recent Davenport book was in so I grabbed it for my husband.
The problem with saying I grabbed it for my husband is that we both read Sandford (although I only read the Davenport [...]

After all my obsessing about the Tall Kid starting high school, it’s the Short Kid hitting third grade that’s caused the most upheaval. He moved into a new school (we have a preschool-2nd building and a 3rd-5th building), but that wasn’t a big deal. Actually, since the first school was an ancient three-story job and [...]

(I’m also at Romancing the Blog today, talking about required reading in high school)
Like most people, I’m aware the technology I buy becomes obsolete in the mere moments between handing Best Buy my money and getting the box into the trunk of my car.
I own a Toshiba HD DVD player. Enough said about that.
But I’m [...]

My husband went north this weekend. Without us. There was a poker run going on and some of “the guys” were going and, since those particular guys ride their ATVs faster than I drive my car, the boys and I graciously bowed out. Fast food, video games, watching movies. Yeah, life was tough.
Friday night I [...]
