Book Log #42: Wolf Hunt, by Doranna Durgin
Aw yeah, now we’re talkin’. Doranna Durgin’s Sentinels series, in Books 1 and 2, was only mildly entertaining me–but with Book 3, I jumped up to actively enjoying it. This time around, we have the story featuring one of the characters only passingly mentioned in the first two books, Nick Carter, who leads the Sentinels…

Rare sightings of Anna social in the wild!
This is a few days after the fact at this point but I wanted to do a shout-out post on behalf of a couple of very nice encounters I had last week. First, I had lunch with two of my old coworkers from the Times, Kathy and Adila, and that was great. Conversation and tasty…

A few hours have gone by, so
It must be time for another Book Roundup! Purchased or acquired lately by me: Pure Blood, by (Caitlin Kittredge), Book 2 of her Nocturne City series. Urban fantasy. Re-purchased in print even though I’d tried to re-buy her books in electronic form, because apparently this is the only book of that series not available on…

Speaking of The Crowe
The Intarwebz are informing me today that he is apparently going to be in a remake of the 80’s TV show The Equalizer. My fangirly brain was dubious about this, and had the following conversation with itself: Rational: Oh god not another remake! Fangirly: But, but, but, RUSSELL! Shooting things! Rational: But it’s ANOTHER REMAKE!…

A Beren and Luthien movie thoughts
I was yakking about this on Twitter tonight, mostly light-heartedly, but I thought I’d delve into this in more depth here: in the Ideal World According to Me, the next Tolkien movie after The Hobbit would be the story of Beren and Luthien. I think I’ve mentioned before on LJ posts that their story should…

Need help with a repro before 9am Pacific
Anybody got a moment to doublecheck a problem for me? If you have visited the Big Fish Games website before you may have noticed we have a feature called Tomorrow’s Game Today. We’ve had reports of the TGT vanishing for an hour on our Japanese site–and since as of 8am our time the TGT was…

The Safe Upon the Shore of Faerie contest!
Y’all know what banishes the sting of two rejection letters in one week? A CONTEST, that’s what! If you’ve hung around my other blog or its LJ or Dreamwidth mirrors for more than five minutes, you’ll have figured out fast that I’m a raving fangirl for Great Big Sea, a high-energy Celtic/folk band out of…

Book Log #41: Lion Heart, by Doranna Durgin
I liked Lion Heart, Doranna Durgin’s second paranormal romance featuring her Sentinels shapeshifters, a bit more than the first book–possibly just because I found the scenario that brought the lead characters together more fun this time around. Joe Ryan is a Sentinel in exile, believed to have been involved with the death of his former…

Book buy roundup
Right then, yet another book round-uppie thingie: Demon Hunts, by (C.E. Murphy), in both print AND ebook because Kit is just that awesome. Since this was two separate purchases, I will in fact be counting this book twice for tally purposes! Urban fantasy, book 5 of the Walker Papers. The Enchantment Emporium, by (Tanya Huff),…

Unexpected character brainstorming FTW!
Determined to write a couple hundred words for Bone Walker tonight, I lamented to that I had a logistics problem to solve as I started the new chapter. The issue with writing several characters who don’t normally drive, you see, is that when I have a situation that requires them to get from point A…
