There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
Yesterday, I talked about a crowdfunded short film that I kicked in some money to support. This was not the only project that I’ve contributed to, but it is the first one to be completed that I’ve been able to anticipate the release. (Read: I didn’t forget about it after I gave them money.) They […]
Read More Crowdfunding is CoolDid you sing the first part of the title? Awesome! That was the idea! Now, if the line “Can I get a witness” is running through your head too, at least I know I’m not alone. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for an update. Random Acts of Kindness 2013 has commenced…well, sort of. It […]
Read More Can I get An Update? Random Acts of Kindness 2013Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare If you’ve been reading these book reviews, you may have noticed that I jumped over from The Mortal Instruments series to The Infernal Devices series. What can I say? I’m capricious. Actually, I’ve heard from several sources that City of Fallen Angles isn’t actually that great, and that was my […]

The air is crisp…okay, so actually it is humid and supposed to be 90 tomorrow, but the weatherman promises a cold front is on the way. The point is fall has officially arrived, and in addition to being able to purchase pumpkin….everything, the build up to one of my favorite holidays is […]
Read More Fall, Halloween and All Hallows Read…Candy Too, Don’t Forget ThatRandom Acts of Kindness planning and preparation has begun! After I posted about my plans, my mother, who works for Jim Stovall, shared my post with him. I got the coolest email from Jim after he heard about what I was going to do. Jessica: Your mom shared your Acts of Kindness blog with me. […]
Read More Be Kind…Win StuffThis is not my normal book review…for a couple of reasons. Discovering Joye is a book about discovering Joye Kanelakos’s poetry and melding it seamlessly with Jim Stovall’s own story. Both of these are powerful and moving on their own, but together it is just…wow. Truthfully, I’m pretty familiar with both the poetry and the […]
Read More Discovering Joye…This May Be the Coolest Thing EverDid you think I had stopped reading? Nope, not me. I’m always reading something or other. Calculated in Death, by J.D. Robb in my growing “have -read”. I love this series. Set in the not so distant future, Eve Dallas is a homicide detective in New York City. I’ve lost count of the number of books […]
Read More Calculated In DeathUrban Shaman by C.E. Murphy This is a book that I’ve had my eye on for quite a while. It kept popping up on recommendation lists and in conversations about genres I enjoyed, but I never picked it up for one reason or another. It was that fateful trip to Dallas to Half Priced Books that […]
Read More Urban Shaman: Holey Entertaining MashupCity of Glass by Cassandra Clare So you may have noticed that I’ve become a bit obsessed. I have read nothing else since I picked up the first of the Mortal Instruments series. They really are quite good. If I didn’t know there were two more, I would tell you that City of Glass is […]
Read More City of Glass: A Fragile PeaceHave I mentioned I discovered Netflix? I think I did, but let me say again, I LOVE NETFLIX. Several years ago, I read a handful of books from Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files. I really liked them. They had a real noir type of feel to them. Harry Dresden, was your stereotypical private eye, except he […]
