Recruitment call(s)!
Jun. 4th, 2007 11:14 amOh woe is me, my fellow angsters! There's a Drabble Tree Challenge over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mcshep_match, and I believe we are getting our black-clad asses thoroughly walloped. Don't make me cry emo tears! (I'll ruin my eyeliner!) Dash over there (it's open through Wednesday) and help out the cause! (And yes, that goes for me as well—so far I've been too busy lying in the dark, listening to "How Soon Is Now?" to contribute.)
Go, goth army, go!
ETA: I'm going to talk to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trobadora about the posting problem. In the meantime, if you have a drabble you really want to post, please e-mail me and I guess I can put it up for you, assuming my luck holds. trinityofoneATgmailDOTcom
Now, on to the books I've been reading in the dark while listening to The Smiths (I had a flashlight).
Week 22: 28 May—3 June 2207
( 123. The Tough Guide to Fantasyland — Diana Wynne Jones ) Tolkien has a lot to answer for.
( 124. My Lucky Star — Joe Keenan ) I think what Keenan was aiming for was something like Jeeves and Wooster Do Hollywood, and he's not far off.
( 125. Vintage: A Ghost Story — Steve Berman ) The book is still compelling, but it needed a little extra oomph at the end. (Maybe Bruce Willis should've shown up just so the narrator could tell him he was already dead.)
( 126. When the Stars Come Out — Rob Byrnes ) it can't really seem to decide if it's a wacky comedy or a serious issues piece. To be both requires a delicate balancing act, and whoops, I think Byrnes just got egg on himself.
( 127. Murder on the Orient Express — Agatha Christie ) this proved a very fun way to spend a couple hours; I'm looking forward to reading more.
( 128. Hominids — Robert J. Sawyer ) it would be much more interesting if the series were about how two societies can learn from each other, rather than how some Other can save us from ourselves. (With castration! It's fun for the whole family!)
Total Books: 128
Also, calling all booklovers: have you checked out Good Reads? I think it looks like it could be a really fun, book-related networking site, but it only really works if you know other people who have accounts. Joiiiiiiin meeeeee! I'm trinityofone there, too. I want to make friends!
