Sunday Salon: Favourites so far

Fluttering Butterflies (Free subscription) | yesterday

I'm currently reading both The Lottery by Beth Goobie and Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult. I very rarely read more than one book at a time, but I'd left the Picoult book downstairs and I had The Lottery on my bedside table! So this is a case of sheer laziness :) I've never read anything by Jodi Picoult and so far, and I'm not sure of Change of Heart yet. For today, I thought I'd share with you my favourite...

The Sunday Salon - July 5

At Home With Books (Free subscription) | yesterday

I'm sorry I don't have any photos of the kids this time. We've been so busy having fun this weekend that I forgot to take pictures. We are planning to go to the local carnival today though, so I may get some photos while we're there to post next week. Here's a photo of my cat to tide you over. He's moth hunting here. Occasionally one will fly into our house and the cat goes berserk. Today I'm reading...

Scar Night by Alan Campbell

The Wertzone (Free subscription) | 04/07/2009

The city of Deepgate is suspended by chains over a vast abyss. At the bottom of the abyss dwells Ulcis, the fallen god, who collects the souls fed to him by the priests of Deepgate to forge a new army of the dead, an army which will break open the gates of heaven and end the damnation of humanity. For three millennia the newly-dead have been given to Ulcis, and the time of reckoning draws nigh. In...

qotd, insult edition

martinimade (Free subscription) | 03/07/2009

Actually, I liked learning that there are people who consider the term insulting. I don't think you should ever insult people unintentionally: if you're doing it, you ought to mean it. -- Neil Gaiman, in his online journal Lost track...

Comics: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?

Valdosta Daily Times--Local News (Free subscription) | 03/07/2009

Several reviews lately have revolved around Batman. This is because the 70-year-old character has been going through some major changes lately: Bruce Wayne is no longer Batman. Dick Grayson, the original Robin, is the new Batman, with Wayne’s son, Damian, cast as the new Robin. The original “Batman” and “Detective Comics” comic books are no more; a new chronology of Batman...

Library Loot #25

Book Nut (Free subscription) | 01/07/2009

A piddly small week this week because (gasp!) we've been very bad about reading to A and K. We tend to get off schedule in the summer... and stay up late... and watch too much TV. (Even A's watching Robin Hood with us... on an unrelated aside, Richard Armitage is totally winning me over as Guy. He is definitely list-worthy .) Sigh. What I did come home with: For A/K: My Friend is Sad (An Elephant and...

If you were intently watching news, Twitter and Facebook feeds last week as Michael Jackson was passing, you probably also saw an equally tragic piece of 'news' pass by: reports said that Jeff Goldblum had fallen to his death while filming a movie in New Zealand. Never mind that cursory searches suggested that he was at work in New York; the reports said New Zealand police confirmed the story as true!...
