Joyful Outlook
I’ve been making joy in my life, recently. I have always tried for this, and there’s been seasons it was a lot harder to do than others. This one? It’s pretty easy, to be honest. The sun is shining, as it is more days than not here in Texas. Sure, it’s hot out there, but…

Interesting Art, books, and computer stuff
Let’s see: semi-random stuff that I picked up along the way this week and thought you all might be interested in! First of all, I’m blogging at the Mad Genius Club today (I’m there every Saturday, for the few who don’t already know) about backing up your files, your computer, and creating a deep defense…

Reading recommendations
I haven’t been reading much, well, not at all. Except for school. It’s been mad busy. I read this book a while back, as an ARC, and I have been waiting for it to come out. I got to put up the first review! Anyway, I highly recommend it, and the first book in the…

Review: Shorts N Stuff
I’m seriously behind in my reviews. For that matter, I’m behind in my reading. Well, reading of fiction. This summer in between writing Tanager’s Fledglings, art, life, and other stuff, I’ve been reading such scintillating material as Molecular Biology of the Cell: Fifth Edition. I’ve also got my biochemistry and invertebrate zoology books. So yes,…

Review Roundup
Today’s reviews are a diverse selection. No matter what your tastes, there is likely to be a pleaser in here! For a fun, flirty romantic short story, try Inappropriate Behavior. I designed the cover, and reading this wasn’t something I would have done normally, but I’m happy I took the chance. A contemporary romance with more…

Review: Aggregation
While I have been reading this past week or so, I haven’t read any of the books I’d planned to review. I read Dave Freer’s deeply tongue-in-cheek noir detective send up, The Bolg and the Beautiful, a continuation of the adventures of his immortal Pictish king turned private eye. This one centers around Freya, her…

Here’s the Good Stuff…
While I’m away from keyboard – or home, anyway, since in all honesty I have multiple keyboards with me – I knew I wouldn’t have the time to read and review for the blog. So I asked some friends to give me links to promote their stuff, instead of mine. Or even promoting just one…

This and That
Firstly, the reblog of today’s Mad Genius didn’t work on first attempt, so here’s the link. My mother, Kathleen Sanderson, was good enough to send me an article on her thoughts concerning animals in space. It’s pretty neat, and will be useful for future writing in science fiction for me – and others, I think.…

Review: Bureau of Substandards
This is actually going to be a triplet of reviews and a gripe. I spent most of yesterday under the weather (no, that’s not a gripe, that’s life, and I take it when my body says ‘rest now or else’ because else is usually pneumonia with me. I rested, and read) and I was having…

Airplane Reading
I had rather a lot of time for reading during my trip. Not so much while I was with family, we stayed busy. But in airports and on planes, I had my trusty tablet, stuffed full of ebooks in a variety of genres to suit whatever mood I was in. I also had a few…

LOI
Links of Interest… because I have lab at 8 am, followed by a major exam, and a class, and another class… Yay it looks like it won’t rain tomorrow. Although my dear First Reader, as we were talking about umbrellas and my need to carry one on campus at all times (since I’m also carrying…

2013 In Review
Cross-posted at Amazing Stories Magazine While I have taken the time to look back at my reviews over the course of the year, this post is more about reviewing than it is the year. At some point in 2013 I decided that the only way to keep myself reading was to commit to reading books…
