Apparently, Diana Gabaldon will be doing a reading from her latest book “Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade” in Second Life (Oct 11). I’m seeing a lot of Second Life news around nowadays, but have no interest in actually trying it out. Isn’t it like The Sims but online? I’m starting to feel like [...]

Nalini Singh’s running a fun and easy contest to promote her latest book “Caressed by Ice” - Judd’s my hero. Which is great, because I’m very much looking forward to his story coming out next month. He’s the first Psy hero (the first two books had Changeling heroes and Psy heroines), so it should be interesting [...]

Not full-on proper reviews, because I’m, well, lazy - just thoughts!
I picked up Linda Lael Miller’s “The Man from Stone Creek” on impulse. I haven’t read her books for ages and ages, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I hadn’t read a Western historical romance in, well, ages. But I loved the characters [...]

Arrived back home yesterday evening - this is the last time I fly into Heathrow on a Saturday evening. It was a complete nightmare from start to finish, starting with when the plane had to circle the airport waiting for a landing slot, followed with a massive queue at Immigration, and the longest-ever wait for [...]

Am off on hols tomorrow and I still haven’t packed. I’m such a procrastinator.
I realised I hadn’t done a wrap-up of books read in July yet, and so obviously, writing this post became a lot more interesting than packing. I belong to the school of thought that as long as you turn up at the [...]

Here are ten books from my bookshelf in the living room, which I’ve been meaning to re-organise for months now - completely randomly:
Lee Child’s “One Shot”: I like Lee Child and Jack Reacher. It’s funny, but I suppose if you look at my Books I Want lists, TBR pile, etc. - you probably wouldn’t figure me [...]

A long-ish interview with Lois McMaster Bujold on Karen Miller’s Livejournal (via the Eos blog). There is one mention of a new Miles book, but slightly depressingly, it sounds as though she hasn’t even decided on the plot yet. Sigh. While we’re on the subject, I’ve seen Karen Miller’s book “The Innocent Mage” around the [...]

After listing all the books I want this month, I stopped by the bookstores today and couldn’t find a single one. Yes, I know it is only the 5th of August, and most of them are coming out later in the month - but you know, wishful thinking…
Though I did see both Lois McMaster Bujold’s [...]

August is a good month for books - books I want:
Stephenie Meyer’s “Eclipse”: Third book in her YA vampire series. I love Bella and I *love* Edward. “Twilight” and “New Moon” are the first and second books in this series respectively - if you haven’t read them, go and try “Twilight” at least. Even if you [...]
