Book of the Week!!! 02/26-03/04

February 26, 2013 by unwasted words

There is something about the way Ally Carter writes that just makes me happy! It’s like when you’re on the phone and you can hear it when someone is smiling, you can just feel the euphoria in her words. Out of Sight, Out of Time is a departure for Carter’s usual light-hearted fair, taking things up a notch emotionally and letting her character’s maturity take center stage. Though parts of it gave me deja vu from that first Bourne movie, […]

Friday’s First Listen -Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet

September 21, 2012 by unwasted words

BY Darynda Jones NARRATOR Lorelei King LENGTH 9.5 hours PUBLISHER Macmillan Audio RELEASE 10/30/12 Part of the reason for the blog’s new look was to be able to start a new line of posts dedicated to audiobooks. Friday’s First Listen is like Wednesday’s Watch with sound! It’s a new feature I’m really excited about and am working hard to get more clips to share with everyone. The lovely people at Macmillan Audio were nice enough to provide me with this clip for Darynda Jones’ Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet, out […]

Monday’s Musings -What’s New in the World of Sequels

June 18, 2012 by unwasted words

I found some newly released covers and a little Bloodlines news this week. There’s a lot happening in the YA world of sequels! Checkout these newly released covers from some popular series spanning urban fantasy, dystopian, horror, and paranormal romance, lending a little eye candy no matter what your flavor of choice. Jennifer Estep posted the new cover of Mythos Academy book #4 on goodreads. Crimson Frost is sporting a different model, not as pretty as the last one but […]

Monday’s Musings -Red Light Good, Green Light Bad

June 4, 2012 by unwasted words

We all fear the dreaded book to movie adaptation. There has been a lot of chatter about the on again off again relationship between City of Bones and Hollywood. Honestly for me the possible shelving of this project by the current filmmakers was not a bad thing. This is partially due to the casting. I despise the casting so far for either of the lead characters and am very disappointed in the whole Twilight strategy in finding a male lead. […]

Monday’s Musings -The Age of X Process

May 7, 2012 by unwasted words

I recently read a post by Richelle Mead on her blog chronicling her journey in developing a new series. For the past few years Mead has been working on four different series, all of which she’s already established the world and characters for. It’s rare to get a peek into someone’s creative process and I found these posts interesting and thought you might too. Her first post The Age of X Process #1 is mostly about the brainstorming stage and making […]

Monday’s Musings -The Slight of Rewrites

March 26, 2012 by unwasted words

Before I settled on pursuing a design major, I started my vocational study in radio and television in high school, then an associates in film/video and audio production. There I learned the finer points of telling a story in visual and auditory ways. So I know better than most the sacrifices that have to be made when making a movie. But that doesn’t mean that I agree with it. I can understand that it’s difficult to translate a 400 page […]

Monday’s Musings -Critical Thinking

March 19, 2012 by unwasted words

I had a hard time last week getting into a book, I was reading the lines but what I kept thinking about was how awful the author had been acting online. It seems like everywhere I look there’s some new controversy between an author, publisher, their friends, family, and the people who review and blog about books. It can really bum a girl out to read about the bad behavior on the part of an author and their crew. The […]

Monday’s Musings -Game Of Thrones Season 2

March 5, 2012 by unwasted words

If you haven’t been enthralled by the epic HBO Show Game Of Thrones, now is the time to catch up and get hooked. HBO has come a long way from the gritty prison cells of OZ, consistently raising the bar for network and cable television production and writing with original series like The Sopranos, Sex and The City, Six Feet Under, and True Blood. Game Of Thrones reaches a new level of spectacular with their blockbuster movie quality productions from sets […]

The Buddy Belt

February 3, 2012 by unwasted words

Certain pets have different needs and dangers that owners become mindful of over time. I have an in-betweenie sized dog, she weighs too much to be a teacup but she’s too tiny to be considered a small dog. Most dogs in the small and under category should only wear collars as an accessory since a traditional collar and lead comes with a hazard of a crushed trachea. Smaller dogs should always use a harness of some kind to avoid neck […]
