Epic failure.  The Poff review is up, even though it's kind of not really a review.  On to something better!

The Sanford/Green review is up!  Do you know what this means?  It means I think I'm finally clear of most of my backlog of old stuff!  I can get back to the spot on the timeline that I'm supposed to be at!  1998, here we come!

...at least, until I get another old one in the mail tomorrow or something.  But until then, I'm celebrating.

Ergh.  So far, this problem hasn't come up for me, but I  guess it was inevitable: there's a Phantom-related book that's only available on the Amazon Kindle.  I  don't have a Kindle, nor was I really planning to get one any time soon--I don't have money to burn, and anyway, I like holding actual books in my hands, and I'm not a big fan of reading off of screens--but Amazon is really trying to push it, isn't it?  Jerks.  I'll add that to the list, and who knows--maybe it'll get popular enough for a print version to come out.  But it'll be on back-burner for a while, and I really don't know if I'll be able to convince John (or myself) that I need a Kindle, which I  will inevitably lose or break, because of this one book that frankly doesn't look like it's probably all that good.  At least it came out in 2008, so I don't have to worry about it until after I wade through a mess of other stuff.

Oh, and the Christian review is up.  One more kids' book, and then we can go back to me shouting in frustration and adult novels.

The Stine review is up, tiny thing that it is!  On to pillage!
Oh, the things that Webber's sequel musical does to perplex and vex his audience.  The first casting call has been printed in New York's Backstage Magazine, and you can read the full text here at Stefanie Bean's livejournal.  Predictably, the internets have exploded with outrage, confusion, excitement, and glee.

Man, I need to step up my game here with these reviews.  I need to at least get through the 2004 Webber-based film, so I can be prepared to go see and review this monster when it opens.

I love pleasant surprises.  The Kasey review is finished and up!  And I think I've found a good place to order some heretofore elusive materials!  Hallelujah!

Saturday, March 7, 2009

Not only did I receive the Kasey today, but the Ashley review is done!  What splendid timing!  So off to another vintage romance I go, and I hope it's a good one.

It's hard to focus on this stuff with all this sunshine and birdsong shit going on around my house.  Might have to go read outside.

Yay!  Two new materials hit my doorstep today--the Taormina and the Gryphon.  They've been put away on the shelf, so that I may peruse their fabulousness in due time.

Ta da!  The Unicorn Publishing review (better known as the Hildebrandt book) is up.  I'm on fire!  On to a short story!

Well, the Japanese was a bust for now; I need a lot of time to try to translate that workably, and I don't want to go including some kind of half-assed analysis that might or might not be accurate, so the Yokohama Tuxedo Club books have been shelved for now.  Instead, I present the Flynn review bright and shiny, and any minute now some new materials should be hitting my doorstep.  Eeee!

Oh, and as you can see, PBwiki felt the need to upgrade and make itself look different, much to my annoyance.  I've got most of the formatting back and streamlined the sidebar a bit, but there are still pages with nasty, ugly titling that doesn't line up.  I'm working on it in between bouts of grumbling about change.
