I finished reading Mr. Twilight by Maya Bohnhoff and Michael Reaves (published by Del Rey) last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. LOVED the characters and intriguing plot...some great mystery and horror here, as well as a dash of romance. I also very much enjoyed the dark humour. Looking forward to following these characters in future books. I was amused to see the name "Helen Waters" used in the book; total coincidence, I know, but Jeff and I have a friend by the same name. To you Classic Trek fans out there: I've updated my "He's Dead, Jim!" blog with a post about "The Enemy Within" as well as a poll about whether Shatner's acting enhanced or detracted from your enjoyment of the series when you first saw it, and then later on. Please answer at the end of my Trek blog post, thanks.  Thanks to the 61 people who responded to my blog-reading survey a couple days ago. I'm putting together a summary for an upcoming Blatherings. "Hsifyppah" had a great idea for enhancing the Kathleen Sloan cookbook I mentioned yesterday...optional song-recipe pairings! :-D Anyway, I'll probably be carrying the cookbook around with me at OVFF, so feel free to ask to sign the book during the convention. My friend David Barker is entering Nanowrimo this year, and has invited everyone to help him by suggesting phrases that he promises to use (in some form) in his novel. I've already posted my enormously helpful suggestions.
And a Lemony Snicket follow-up: Last year, I pointed people to this SFGate.com article about my friend Joey Shoji, who won a bid to have his father's name appear in the next Lemony Snicket book. Joey's father passed away on July 4th last year. Well, Joey reports in a blog entry yesterday that his father name nows appears on page 223 of The End, the thirteenth and final book of the series! "Jojishoji," Sunny said, which meant something like, "I don't believe that abridging the freedom of expression and the free exercise thereof is the proper way to run a community." What a wonderful tribute to his dad. :-) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
