Musings on books for children, teens, and young adults (mostly) that missed out on an internet bump. Wednesday, 19 March 2014. The Game of Thrones (any of them)/The Hidden City. I haven't read as much fantasy lately as I used to. But I've kept up enough to be baffled by this: Why are people are in such transports over George R.R. Martin,. Is giving us books like The Hidden City? Now, I like. Is going more than a few leagues too far. She was signing copies of her own books, so I asked her to recommend one...

Southern Breeze Illustrators: The Most Valuable Treasure of all
http://sbillustrators.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-most-valuable-treasure-of-all.html

Besides, freelancing can be a rather lonesome occupation, and I was starving for some community. I had my membership card by September. Please sign your name! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Musings on the use and abuse of language. Thursday, 8 March 2012. Who you gonna call? Discussions about grammar and language are often characterized as face-offs between prescriptivists. Underwear-ironing purists who can’t die out quickly enough) and descriptionists. Lusty progressives who choose to break the rules to connect with the masses). These particular images come from a guest post. At the Essay Expert by Steven Sawyer. You can guess to which camp he swears allegiance.*. It makes it right. It may...
