Tin Win is a successful lawyer who simply walks out of his life one day. His children have both graduated from college so he apparently has decided that he’s a free man. There’s a search but it quickly comes to a dead end in Bangkok. His daughter Julia decides several years later to go looking […]
Welcome to my weekly update for June 15, 2015! It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. She’s taking a bit of personal leave so I’m also linking to Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. So, yeah. I’ve been busy with stuff and my blog has been more shamelessly neglected than usual. Sorry about […]
I’ve struggled with whether to write this post about suicide prevention. If you’ve been around long, I’m sure you’ve noticed I don’t write many personal things. I’m a private person. The few posts I have written have been fun little stories, nothing serious at all. But I feel this needs to be shared, just in […]
Reviewed September 7, 2009 Busy week + training + overtime=forgettable review. Sorry, guys. These stories/poetry were pretty dark. But then it’s been a while since I read any Gaiman, so maybe I’ve just forgotten how dark he can be. I would really put this on a dark fantasy/horror lite shelf, but that’s fine by me. […]
When I was offered a copy of Neil Gaiman’s newest short story collection, Trigger Warning, for review, my first thought was to jump on it. I adore Neil Gaiman’s work. He is one of only about three authors who get their own shelf name on my GoodReads account. And then I remembered that I wasn’t […]
So, I goofed. I was offered an opportunity to review Five Nights in Paris: After Dark in the City of Light by John Baxter and I accepted. I mean—Paris, right? I’m always up for a little armchair travel. Or real travel, for that matter. I had good intentions, but somehow time slipped away from me. […]
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. I am still here! It’s been a busy month or two. My parents’ 40th anniversary was last month so my sister and I threw a party for them. Then we surprised them the following weekend with a family trip to Tybee Island […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 2, 2015! It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. As predicted, I haven’t had time to post much in February and March probably won’t be any better. But here’s what I’ve been up to since February 8 […]
I’m pretty sure I’ve never mentioned Downton Abbey here on the blog, but I am a big fan! My husband and I started watching it late and we’re slow series watchers, so we only caught up right before the new season started in January here in the US. I can’t believe tonight’s already the season […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 9, 2015! It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. We had a beautiful weekend! 60-65 degree temperatures and blue, sunny skies. That’s practically unheard of for early February here! I was busy yesterday and didn’t get to enjoy much of it but today my […]
In a hospital in England, the anti-Christ is born, making unlikely allies of the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale. They’ve both spent quite a bit of time on Earth and they actually kind of like the place. They’re not ready for the End of Days. So they set out to make sure it doesn’t […]
