I have to admit, I don’t really like love triangles. Sure, I can admire a well constructed one, but in general, I like my romance to have a little more certainty. I hate spending a book unsure who she is really going to end up with, because the author is doing too good of a [...]
Have your Barbies been wanting to go vampire? Well, you will soon have an Edward Cullen they can try to seduce!
Edward and Bella Barbies are coming to a WalMart near you this November.
And, as if we needed more types of Twilight, I don’t think I remembered to post on the Twilight Manga from Yen Press.
Seriously, [...]

“Cool idea of the day: After the death of Silas, the longtime bookstore cat in residence at A Novel Idea, Lincoln, Neb., owner Cinnamon Dokken “decided to engage in a friendly fundraising competition to help them pick a new kitty,” according to the Journal Star. Dokken asked customers to “make a donation to [...]
It’s been a while since I posted. August through September seemed to be the time when everything in my life was happening right after each other. I’ve been to two anime conventions (assistant Publicity director of one, working in Artists Alley for both), been to two different states (besides my own), slept at three different [...]

Okay, so I’m late on this, but the deadline is April 30th, so I’ve got no worries. Here are the books I plan to read:
Seeing Redd by Frank Beddor (okay, so I’m halfway through this already, but I think this is the only [...]
For those of you who like fan fiction, fan art, and other fan pursuits, I think the J.K. Rowling lawsuit against the Harry Potter Lexicon book will be an interesting case to watch.
I think some people might just see it as her trying to protect her money, but really it’s about protecting the [...]
Okay, just like the staircase bookcase, this is just too cool! ^_^

Unfortunately it would take about ten of these to cover all the books I usually have on my bed. -_- Found on Boing Boing.
One book storage trick I’ve learned though, is that if you’ve got [...]
