As called out by The Amazon Iowan in her post of many questions (I’ve gone on a bit… it just happened, quite beyond my control really, so it’s all after the break): Read the rest of this entry »
Tentaculosity
I am really loving things with tentacles lately, like this fabulous thing which I can forgive for being partially pink just ‘cuz cognitive dissonance trumps pink. Behold Tentacle Bunny!
There’s a staff I’m craving for my main that’s all tentacular at the end as well, with super extra neato writhing action, but it’s a rare drop off a boss I’d need a few levels and a raid party to kill. Not that I have a problem with killing for tentacles. I think they sorta demand it, really.
Bookey Abbondanza!
So many fabulous people have books out right about now and I’ve got copies of all of them! Squee!! I’m happily suffering from an embarrassment of yummy reading riches. Some books I’ve already gulped down, others are sitting in my TBR pile winking and wiggling at me. I haven’t written an actual book review in a dog’s age, mostly because nobody’s paid me to do so in about that long and I’m a lazy writer when not being paid for wordcount. I’ve pretty much forgotten the tropes of form and content involved - about any of these books I’d splutter something from the following: go! buy!! read! frosting! chocolate frosting!! thrills and chills!! laugh out loud! sleep with the lights on!! savor words laid to paper like a fine sirloin on glowing mesquite! sparkly butterflies!! love! redemption!! high caliber weaponry! yummy!!
So because I am a) lazy, b) forgetful, and c) staring at a great stretch of butcher paper covered in story notes that I’m going to be putting into Curio this afternoon, I’m summing up my opinion of these books in one fell swoop - all are excellent reads, a helluva good time, well worth the money and written by neato people I or my husband know personally. I highly recommend y’all run, don’t walk, to get your own copies. In no particular order:
The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes
Lost Girls
Bobbie Faye’s Very (very, very, very) Bad Day
Territory
The Cleaner
The Gospel of the Knife
Agnes and the Hitman

“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” –Woodrow Wilson
With that in mind, I refer you to an enriching experience brought to my attention by the amazoniowan and the letter M:

Tongue-Tied And Twisted
My new favorite website is the Double-Tongued Word Wrester. A timely citation:
three plastic animals rule n. the legal determination that secular symbols in a government-sponsored year-end seasonal display (such as a Nativity scene) can mark it as not endorsing a specific religion or religion in general.
