Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet (Charley Davidson #4) by Darynda Jones - Audiobook Review

November 29, 2012 by unwasted words

Reblogged from Your Urban Fantasy: The trauma after the drama from the events of Third Grave Dead Ahead has left Charley in a bit of a rut. Instead of solving cases, she’s taken up a new hobby: sitting on her couch all day, acquiring a Home Shopping Network addiction in the process. She finally finds a bit of motivation once a woman shows up who needs her help. Read more… 309 more words So sorry I’ve been so busy to […]

Cyber Monday deals-Hotter than a burning bunny

November 26, 2012 by unwasted words

Reblogged from Kim Harrison's Drama: I’m still trying to find my keyboard under my fingers after four days off (mostly), but Guy’s salesman’s blood is boiling, and he tells me that in deference to it being cyber Monday, anyone who orders a tour T shirt between now and tomorrow morning, 9:00 am EST will get a burning bunny pin for free. Yes, you heard it here first. Read more… 333 more words

Thursday’s Thoughts -The Boy Who Circumvented Copyright

October 11, 2012 by unwasted words

Once and a while my mom’s annoying addiction to certain news channels yields something of interest to me. A few days ago I caught a snippet of a story about a guy named Supap Kirtsaeng. He moved to the US from Thailand to pursue a degree at Cornell University in mathematics. Well I suppose he picked up a few business courses along the way. We all know how expensive textbooks can be but Kirtsaeng realized how much cheaper the foreign edition […]

Thursday’s Thoughts -Updates

October 4, 2012 by unwasted words

So I thought I’d make some rounds within the book world and post some author news this week. A quick note for Rick Riordan fans, in part of the publicity Riordan has been doing leading up to the release of Mark Of Athena, the author stated that his next project was going to be on his first love, Norse, mythology. I for one can’t wait to see what kind of spin he puts on Thor and Loki. On her blog, […]

Thursday’s Thoughts -Bea Makes Three

September 27, 2012 by unwasted words

I saw this post and was appalled. Having loss my beloved Gypsy recently and entirely too soon, I get what Maggie is going through. Although our loses are the same, Bea’s demise is a tragedy we can all learn from. On a good day I think the blatant disregard of humane treatment airlines give travelers is abhorrent. It’s the only industry where customer service doesn’t exist. And these are people. People molested by price gouging, cooped up in packed planes, denied […]

Thursday’s Thoughts -YA+

September 20, 2012 by unwasted words

Well, fellow adult Twilighters, Downworlders, Muggles, and Mundies the secret’s out, Publishers Weekly is reporting that adults out buy their younger counterparts by more than half. Not that this is a real surprise to the YA community. The YA publishing industry is marketed to the 12 to 17 year-old demographic but appeals more to the 18 and up crowd. Who’s buying these gems of teenage angst filled fiction? More than a quarter of YA book sales are made by readers […]

Thursday’s Thoughts -¿Comprende? No Comprende.

August 16, 2012 by unwasted words

¿Comprende? No Comprende. A few days ago I wrote a rather harsh review of The Iron Wyrm Affair by Lilith Saintcrow. I’ve read some of her YA but Saintcrow isn’t one of my goto authors. Still I was really excited about reading this book, which made my disappointment all the more crushing. Soon after I received a comment on Amazon that proceeded to belittle me for not knowing the difference between Victorian and Shakespearean prose. This person’s arguments were sound […]

Thursday’s Thoughts -Audio Annoyances

June 14, 2012 by unwasted words

Anyone familiar with my blog knows about my fondness for my listening library. While I am a self professed biblio-audiofile addict of little repent, I have to confess to being a bit of an audio snob. Having studied audio engineering before majoring in design only adds to my annoyance of horribly produced recordings. Things like bad productions, plosives, horrible acting really stand out in an audiobook because there’s nothing but the narrator and the story. I know, I know I go […]

The High Low of Reading

March 22, 2012 by unwasted words

With the recent release of A Perfect Blood, I’m reminded of the high low of reading. I am always impatient when it comes to The Hollows. I adore the landscape and characters, this unique mix of typical devices that are somehow transformed in new and exciting ways. It’s one of those books that put me on the edge of euphoria around the time the release is due. I am always on the hunt for my next great read, or an […]
