I was around 7 years old when I discovered Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys , which started out with a single book borrowed from the school library every two weeks until it reached a point wherein I was reading 4 a week. Quite a jump, I would say considering that it happened within ...

..., so I did the bibliography, wrote a note on my doubts about what to include/exclude in the content, and sent it off to the prof for feedback.

It will be Black Friday for me, but not for the usual reasons. At least I get to sleep in. :-) Instead, tonight, after writing, I want to get some fun, holiday anticipatory things done: -- Donate to Nanowrimo. -- Make my Christmas lists, for myself and ...

So does anyone know? Or know where I might ...

Review: The Wide, Carnivorous Sky by John Langan

That. Was. So.[Expletive]. Cool! It was only a couple of weeks ago that, prompted by Hal Duncan's incredible essay on the state of vampire fiction http://www.bscreview.com/2009/11/notes-from-new-sodom-on-blood-bad-boys-and-bottoms/ I posted http://kestrell.livejournal.com/542802.html about how vampire stories hadn't done anything for me since the '90s.
