In case anyone is worried that this has become a blog about anything but literature, never fear. I will be reviewing some fiction very soon, so don’t you worry. To try and encourage you to keep clicking back, here are some of the books we will be discussing in the days ahead: – Dream Angus: [...]
I regularly find that I enjoy reading more than I do writing. It doesn’t often take much effort to read (particularly with fiction). I will readily procrastinate about almost anything to sit down and enjoy a good book. For some reason this doesn’t apply to writing a review. I almost always feel some hesitation when [...]

You can learn more about me at http://www.graceabraham.com and/or http://gayle24202.tripod.com. I say that because I don’t want to turn this into a post [...]

Of course, I have been putting most of my time into my book orientated blog Collected Miscellany. I have decided to keep [...]
I have been messing around with the templates so if you noticed weird things happening that was it. Not that anyone reads this blog anymore . . .
I have had some difficulties in trying to upgrade Movable Type. I almost have all the kinks worked out. Stay tuned for content.
Regular visitors might have noticed I changed a few things around here. This site has become more of a personal blog; a place where I post whatever strikes me whenever it strikes me. I am also on my way to getting over the Steelers loss last weekend, so I removed the black veil so to [...]
Okaaaaay!!!! After endless hours of mind numbing template fiddling I think I have finally reached a conclusion on stopping comment spam. I decided to use a plug-in that requires each comment to preview before posting. This seems to be functioning and should keep out the bots. Let me know if you have any problems.
