reader’s gibberish
Hold the phone! Stop the obsessive multiple book reading habit - - I have the Story Structure Architect by Victoria Lynn Schmidt, Ph. D.
My best friend Judy (quick disclaimer: I have two bests, and a best-est friend - Judy, Stephanie and finally Michelle) bought this book approximately a year ago and we used it a lot for our workshops on Riah, previously titled Harlequin or our HQ Workshops. So I searched B&N a week or two ago for this title and I’ve had it at my side ever since. When I go to job interviews and they force you to wait in the main room, I pull this lovely little blue book out and “educate” myself.
Okay, rant time:
I still don’t have Black Magic Sanction! And I say “still” even though the book was only release a month and a half ago, because Kim hasn’t really talked about the paperback release. I’m okay with waiting (since I did that scorned by booksellers ’reading-first-hundred-something-pages-in-corner-of-bookstore’ thing… which I can honestly say I’m not proud of), but if it’s coming out in December, I want to know. And I’ll mark my calendar, I’ll read other authors until the release, and life will be peachy keen.
Good news: Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning is due to come out in December 2010! And even better, her release dates usually get bumped up a month, and then a week or two. So she says December, but fingers crossed it’s released mid-November.
Bad news: It comes out in hardcover. Again, I’ll be waiting until August, or September 2011 unless I hide in the corner. I don’t have Joy anymore, and she used to let me borrow her hardcovers when she finished reading. But who knows where I’ll be in December? I might be back in California, hounding Joy for her hardcovers. (grin)
Another thing - Bloodrush, the Fever Series Soundtrack was pretty interesting. I just listened to it and I didn’t really care for the lead singer since I found his lisp distracting, but the instrumental sound and lyrics were cool. And that final track was wicked with all the fans shouting the lyrics. Very cool. Karen Moning has an amazing fan base. I love those women.
