Harold White has just been inducted into The Baker Street Irregulars, and is the youngest member in the exclusive club’s history. Giddy over the honor, Harold barely has a chance to enjoy the trappings of his new society when Alex Cale, world renowned Sherlock Holmes scholar (and fellow Irregular), is murdered. Cale had been lately [...]
So my week of Sherlock postings will have to continue over the weekend. I would have been wrapped up, but I have had a sinus infection all week and am just now starting to mend. However, despite raging fevers and the hideous pain in my head, I did manage to crawl to the door to [...]
This week on the blog is going to be mostly about Sherlock Holmes, I think. Don’t hold me to that if you see other stuff popping up. Jen and I read The Sherlockian, by Graham Moore and The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Arthur Conan Doyle in anticipation of or podcast about Sherlock Holmes with [...]
Last Wednesday, I attended the book release party for Cameron Stracher’s YA debut, the The Water Wars at 200 Orchard. Sourcebooks, a Chicago based publishing company, is really excited about this one. From what I could gather, they don’t do many book release parties in NYC, so I was pleased to be in attendance at [...]
One of the fun parts of having a blog and talking about books is being able to connect with people who have the same interest and desire to share book talk and recommendations. The challenging part is that we are not always reading the same things at the same time, and when I post reviews [...]
I just love going back and resurrecting things that I got too busy to do on my blog. Reading lists were something that I would put together to take a look at what I had committed to read and what I hoped to read for the month. They often changed drastically from the beginning of [...]
I started out this television season very excited to talk about mainly Bones, but something happened after watching the first show of the season. My Bones love started to die a little, and I could barely bring myself to post about them. I wasn’t even watching the episodes in a timely fashion. I would let [...]
I am the queen of failed challenges, so I know that I will not be signing up for very many this year. However, I watched with interest as first Chris and Debi, and then Amy and Hannah posted on their blogs that they planned on swapping reading lists with each other for 2011. The idea [...]
Last Tuesday night, Other Press hosted a happy hour for bloggers and other publishing industry professionals at Antarctica Bar. It was great fun to have a few drinks (I discovered vodka and pineapple juice is yummy.), match faces with names, and get to know the people behind the books a little bit better. Lively conversations [...]
So, in a trailer this long, they can only be showing the entire movie, right? Good thing this isn’t in theaters until April. You can watch, have a good laugh and forget all about it by then. This reminded me a lot of The Princess Bride- a lot more potty mouth – so don’t watch [...]
