Since my last post, I've read: The Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen (21/25) The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson (22/25) -- This one took me forever to finish. It was so unnecessarily long. A better editor needed to get their claws on it. "Playing with God's Bowling Ball" by...

Since my last post, I've read: An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir (16/25) Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson (17/25) Mitosis by Brandon Sanderson (18/25) Firefight by Brandon Sanderson (19/25) The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (20/25) Up next is the second Mistborn book, The Well of...

There was also a shot of the team from the Legends of Tomorrow promo when Barry was running through the Speed Force. I thought this was an excellent finale. The scene of Barry sitting with his mother as she died was rough. Eddie's fate didn't have much emotional impact for me because I never...

Since my last post, I've read Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake (10/25) The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (11/25) The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater (12/25) Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater (13/25) Very Good Lives by J.K. Rowling (14/25) Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta...

Two fantastic episodes in a row. Ahhh, I loved "Book of the Damned." Sam actually got to express emotions in this episode. With words. Shocking. Also, not one but two classic rock songs in the episode.

This series was fantastic. Episode 10, "Nelson vs. Murdock," was probably the strongest episode for me, with the focus on Matt and Foggy's relationship. Nelson and Murdock, avocados at law! There's a moment when Foggy is berating Matt while Matt lays on the sofa and Matt sheds a tear while...

Last week's episode was embarrassingly bad, but this week's episode was phenomenal. Bobby is a piece that's really been missing from the show; when he returned, things just felt like they clicked naturally back into place. I was tearing up while Sam was reading Bobby's letter.

I picked up The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I on Blu-ray yesterday.

I like it a lot. Very much seems to fit in the Arrow/Flash family, which makes sense. And I would totally steal those boots for my closet if I could.

Since finishing the last book I posted about, I've read: Veronica Mars: Mr. Kiss and Tell by Rob Thomas (4/25) The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon (5/25) The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon (6/25) Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard (7/25) Ciy of Savages by Lee Kelly (8/25) Anna Dressed in Blood by...

Picked up Game of Thrones season 4 and The 100 season 1, both on Blu-ray.

No snow here in northeast Georgia, but it's been raining while hovering at freezing most of the afternoon so trees and powerlines are freezing. The ice is definitely worrisome.

I did three different samples and got Oscar Wilde on all three. That's fun; I love Oscar Wilde.

Finished The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin (3/25), the first of the Inheritance Trilogy. The mythology of the world was neat, but I never got an emotional attachment to the goings on in the book. I hear the second one is better, though.

Finished Something Real (2/25) and moved on to The Sky Is Everywhere, also by Jandy Nelson.
