Life Just Suddenly Happened

Hi faithful readers!
I'm so happy to be back to blogging!  It has been a long time since I posted.  The reason is simply that life suddenly got very busy since I got 2 jobs (one is working in a library and I love it!) and had all my volunteering as well.  I also joined the choir at one my volunteering gigs.  Suddenly, I was so busy that although I was reading, I had trouble finding the time to write reviews.  I am still working on managing my time and learning to balance everything, including working on cosplay.  I will be posting more reviews starting next week!

Exciting News!

I am very excited to have found out about the new Fairy Tales that were found in Regensberg Germany.  Although the news is no longer new, it is still very cool!  Here is a link to the news article:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/mar/05/five-hundred-fairytales-discovered-germany

I am personally looking forward to getting my hands on a translation or even just a copy.  Sadly, it seems that noone local is carrying them, not even the universities.  Hopefully that will change, but in the meantime, I'll just have to stick to reading twisted and other fairy tales that are published.

Death of a Good Author

It is with much sadness that I announce that Donald Sobol has died.  I knew him from my own childhood and as a jumping point into mysteries.  The Encyclopedia Brown series is still one of my favourite and perfect for starting off in mysteries.
