Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs wishlist! I finally went through the catalogue to pick out a few things. Divided into sections because there's so much =P The lower the priority, the more likely it's organised randomly.Forum feedback is the only feedback I have at the moment. It takes me a while to load properly so don't be surprised if I don't leave you feedback for a couple of days afterward.I really

So I'm currently laid up in bed with glandular fever (yay for laptops!) and I thought I'd make a list of the things that I've read over the last couple of months that I enjoyed or found interesting.Gabriel’s AngelSummer Pleasures etcEverything’s EventualSnow, Glass, ApplesHouse of LeavesCoralinePride and Prejudice and ZombiesTangled WebsThe Shadow QueenThe Sandman vol 1Fruits Basket is coming to

We take a break from books and turn to a movie today: Wall-E.Cute but depressing pretty much sums up this movie. Robots that are more human than humans? Wall-E and Eve seem like it. You could find a lot of old school romance tropes in this movie, including the bumbling boy and the meaningful dance and kiss (well, spark). Wall-E courting and looking after Eve was very cute. And the pet cockroach

Nora Roberts' Born In... TrilogyI enjoy Nora Roberts’ trilogies for their characters more often than the plots. This one was a bit bland compared to her later ones, but still intriguing enough to capture me for a couple of days. The first book, Born in Fire, was the most coherent in plot and characters. Maggie wasn’t likeable at first, but I admired her strength and her determination. Naturally,

Lords and Ladies by Terry PratchettThis was the third Terry Pratchett book I’ve read – and I had to pick one of the few he says isn’t stand-alone. He recommended that it be read after one of the Witches of Lancre books (I forget which). I found the book to be alright as a stand-alone book, but it would have been more enjoyable if I knew more about the characters from before, the witches

Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen KingA collection of short stories that are just vaguely linked with each other, with an overriding theme of a particular generation that failed to fulfil their potential, according to King. Naturally, it was the connection with The Dark Tower that drew me – I wanted to know more about Ted’s “little vacation”. The first story was about the summer that Bobby lost his

The Invisible Ring by Anne BishopHaving read bits and pieces of the book before actually sitting down to read it all the way through did take away some of the mystery, but it was still enough to keep me interested in what actually happened next. Jared was a little annoying at times, as was Lia. Their romance wasn’t developed that well, at least from her side, and the distraction at the beginning

No book today, but I have a movie instead =) I went to see ICHI last night, which was screening as part of the 12th Japanese Film Festival in Sydney.ICHI is about a blind young woman who was kicked out of her goze troupe because she had been with a man, and now searches for someone who fights like her. She encounters a samurai who can’t draw his sword called Fujihara Toma, and they become

I feel bad. Didn't really read much yesterday. Apart from the festivities at je_wankage, that is.

Harlequin Mills & Boon books are like junk food. I go to the library, pick out 3-5 books at random, and gulp them down in the space of a week or less. I like reading them because I like vicariously being in love, and it's a good way to learn what works and what doesn't when writing in general, not just romance and sex scenes.To Woo A Wife by Carole MortimerI was struggling to read this one.

In order to get my pile of books down to manageable proportions, I decided to aim to read/finish a book a day these summer holidays. This blog will primarily be devoted to keeping track of the books I've read.The Dark Tower Volume VII: The Dark Tower by Stephen KingThe final book of The Dark Tower series. It was a really intriguing story, and so absorbing. The shout outs that King put into the
