Werewolves on SPACE: Part II
Posted on January 23, 2014 1 Comment
Back in May, I posted about my tentative excitement for SPACE channel‘s upcoming supernatural drama, Bitten. Now that two episodes have aired, it’s time to review! Before Bitten aired, SyFy and SPACE began their promotions and I have to admit, they didn’t make it look or sound very appealing. The only female werewolf, surrounded by a bunch of […]

Book Review: Darkly Dreaming Dexter by

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay I picked up this book because I love the series. The premise of a serial killer killing other serial killers was just too interesting to pass up. You actually root for Dex, even though you know that he’s the bad guy as well. The beginning of this book was […]

Werewolves on SPACE

Laura Vandervoort as Elena Michaesl Bitten was my first real introduction to urban fantasy and supernatural books. I fell in love with Kelley Armstrong‘s Women of the Otherworld series. Part of my love comes from national pride: both Armstrong and her main character Elena Michaels are Canadian and it’s always nice to find the familiar […]

What is a movie review doing in a book blog, you might ask? Well you see, I would reply conspiratorially, I cheated. Persepolis – the graphic novel – was the topic of discussion in our recent Ladies Night Comic Club meeting, but procrastination various distractions and priorities got in the way of me reading it.

Book Review: Stars Wars: The New Jedi Order: Traitor by Matthew Stover
Posted on November 19, 2012 Leave a Comment
Traitor by Matthew Stover The issue I have with the Force is that the movies made everything so black and white. Give in to your hate and passion and poof, you’re dark side. The Sith have their code about killing all the things and power, and the Jedi have their code about not having sex and only killing all the things when you […]
Book Review: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell I read this book because of the trailer, like many others. The trailer – despite the presence of Tom Hanks AND Halle Berry – fascinated me, though I could not fathom what was going on in what promised to be an excitingly visual journey through the times and lives of oddly connected people.
