Would you believe I have no news this week? My life has just been same old, same old. The laptop has been shipped off for repair for the third time. The weather has been nicely hot, though a bit stormy, which sucks for grocery shopping. I'm all caught up on my shows. Oh, I am dealing with Best Buy and a rather large refund I never received, and I'm starting to get worried, but someone is working...
The world is still in ruins 100 years after a catastrophic event. Cavalo, unable to handle his own demons, is going insane and spends most of his time in an abandoned prison with his dog and a robot as his best friends. But one day he crosses to the other side of the forest where a cannibalistic group of people known as the Dead Rabbits lives and ends up taking one of them, a mute psychopath,...
Recently, Cait over at Paper Fury did a post about how realistic books should be, and it got me thinking. I read mostly fantasy and sci-fi, so it's pretty safe to say I like unrealistic premises. But there are certain things within those premises that I do want to be realistic. And one of those things is characters. Of course everyone likes different things, everyone reads for different reasons,...
Lucy has spent her summer trying to move on from the events of the first book and trying to figure out how to live as a phantom without hurting anyone. But between a gang of serial killers, a wraith, friendship troubles, dating, and becoming a veritable superhero team with a fellow supernatural, Lucy realizes her newfound phantom problems are far from...
You don't even KNOW how tempted I was to make this week all red, white and black covers. I don't know why so many silhouette covers are those colors, but I'm sure not complaining. Anyway, this was not hard, but it still wasn't as easy as I thought it would be to find ten I really loved. Part of the problem is that there's a big overlap between this topic and book covers featuring circus, and I...
MY LAPTOP IS STILL BROKEN. I just... *sigh* How hard is it, really, to CHECK that the computer is working before sending it back? I mean, the second I took it out of the box, it was already turning itself on and off like it's been doing since the first time I sent it in. Literally, before I even had the chance to hit the power button myself, which means it had to have been doing that since they...
When Fizz gets kicked out of his parents' house and moves into an unused room at the bar where his cousin Ginger works, his depression feeds the ghost whose been trapped within the walls and frees him, allowing him to wreak havoc on the bar and its occupants.

When Glory finds a strange, vase-looking thing while cleaning out her deceased grandmother's basement, she doesn't expect a sexy genie to show up in her room that night telling her she gets three wishes, and she especially doesn't expect him to be such a jerk with a grudge against the entire human race. But when new threats show up, he gets shot with a poisoned arrow by hunters, and Glory saves...
Ali, a former child prodigy at piano, has been deaf, using ASL and lip reading to get by, for seven years. But when her best friend drags her to a concert for a band whose music Ali has never even heard, she ends up winning the raffle to go backstage and meet the leader singer, Jace. Their first meeting doesn't go well, but, when he asks her to come back the next day and then notices her bruises,...
I really didn't have a very exciting week. That's not a bad thing, it just doesn't give me a whole lot to talk about. My laptop came back, but it was still acting weird when I first turned it on, so I need to kind of test it out a bit more to see if it's actually working :-/ Some better news is that I've finally started catching up on the few shows I watch that I had fallen behind on (i.e....
