Blogosphere and quick book picks
May. 3rd, 2007 06:36 pmI got an e-mail from someone in a completely different part of my life that referenced my blog. This is really the first time that's happened--when someone who I know who I didn't know was reading my blog actually talked to me about it. It was pretty startling (and also embarrassing--he smacked me down oh but good based on the recent posts about my overtendency to express via the eyes). I hear by give a point to Christian. Well done sir.
For you other bloggers out there--has that happened to you? If so, how did you react?

I just got asked for staff picks at the part time job, so I thought I'd share them here, with the addition that I'm linking to the author's live journals:
Inda. The first of the new fantasy series by Sherwood Smith (
sartorias)is a coming of age story for not only the hero, Inda, but for a number of the young men and women who surround him. Smith uses an omniscient narration that shifts from one perspective smoothly into the next, providing multiple viewpoints on every occurrence. This makes the novel a challenging, but extremely worthwhile, read. Fans of fantasy shouldn't miss it!
Damsel under Stress. It's here! The newest of Shanna Swendson's (
shanna_s) series about Katie Chandler, who is immune to magic and working for the largest magic development company in the world, housed right in New York City, has arrived! When we left off, Katie had finally admitted her crush to the man of her dreams and found it returned--which means, of course, that in Damsel under Stress, there are rocks ahead: the villains are threatening to reveal magic to the world. What's a girl to do?
