spoilers, sweetie

This is me staying off the internet today because spoilers, sweetie. I had, of course, intended to stay off entirely after realizing on Twitter last night that my entire feed was filling up with Sherlock spoilers and running away after the second, albeit very minor, one. So I retreated to Livejournal, which should have been safe, except some asshole who’d gotten to see an early preview a couple of weeks ago posted her review while it was still airing. Seriously, guys, I’m not that much of an anti-spoiler maven, but…

The GGK Project: THE SUMMER TREE

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! The great Guy Gavriel Kay (Re-)Reading Project begins! We’ll be reading a book a month, in order of publication, throughout the year. Our first book, THE SUMMER TREE, has 16 chapters, so we’ll be breaking that into an expectation of reading 4 chapters a week in January. I’ll be posting a discussion blog every Tuesday so we can talk about the books and to offer a deadline for people to read to. I’m very much looking forward to this. I’ve only re-read 4 of…

2014 Thinks To Do

Okay, so big plans for 2014 include: – rewatching the Ron Perlman/Linda Hamilton Beauty and the Beast as part of a year-long thing with Stephen Aryan and Liz de Jager.

We’ll be starting with THE SUMMER TREE in January, with a goal of reading 4 chapters a…

the TBRS project

Y’know, I’m genuinely a little concerned about my TBR shelf project (the one where I have to clear out about 70% of my TBR shelf before I can buy anything new), just because it’s harder to read fiction when I’m writing it* and I have to get an awful lot of writing done next year. Somehow. If I was planning a massive *re-read* project (aside from the GGK thing, which is not massive), I’d be in much better shape. It’s far easier to read things I’ve already read. Less anticipation,…

more media plans :)

I just discovered Ron Perlman is on Twitter (he’s perlmutations, since the resounding response from my Twitter feed was WHAT WHERE?!) and this has somehow immediately blown out of control into an 2014 International Re-Watch Beauty and the Beast-fest, so, y’know, if you’ve been meaning to do that, we’ll be doing that next year. An episode a week, probably, starting early (but probably not instantly) in the new year, with live tweeting. :) Along with re-reading Guy Gavriel Kay’s novels and clearning out my TBR pile. That should pretty well…
