I seem to be doing a great line in random posts of late and this one is no exception. Here are a few observations from my currently hectic life.
BOOK REVIEWS: I am slowly but surely catching up on my back log of reviews. Expect to see reviews of Sarah Mayberry’s Her Secret Fling and Jacqueline Winspear’s Among the Mad over the next few days.
GAME REVIEWS: I’m working on another board game post with mini reviews of Alhambra and the Ticket to Ride: 1910 expansion.
NEW BOOKS: I received three books in the mail today and I’m not sure which one to start as they all sound really good. They are: The Dead Travel Fast by Deanna Raybourn; Grave Goods by Ariana Franklin; and The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo.
LOST – SEASON SIX: The new season is weird as hell but I’m enjoying it. Now, if they’d only kill off the obnoxious Jack…
NUTCASES ONLINE: Weirdoes abound. Apparently, author Karen Marie Moning has been inundated by mail asking her to intervene in an online fight between her fictional characters. Role players have set up Facebook accounts in her characters’ names and are hating on each other. Er…OK. Thanks very much to RRR Jessica for the link!
READ REACT REVIEW: Speaking of RRR Jessica, she’s moved to new online digs! Check out her brand new blog here.
Happy Tuesday!

The Dead Travel Fast is high on my own TBR, but I do have to put in a plug for The Redbreast. I picked this one up after Keishon talked about Jo Nesbo, and I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s a well-constructed mystery and I cannot wait to read the sequel!
@Lynn Spencer: OK, that’s my decision made: The Redbreast will be my next read. I bought the first two Jo Nesbo books on Keishon’s recommendation. Nemesis came in Friday’s postal delivery. I snuck a peek at the first few pages and had to force myself to put it down until The Redbreast arrived.
I can never get into those role playing things… but if people started doing that with my characters, I’d be really flattered!
