jmc_bks~ I fail at the TBR Challenge -- pulled Meljean Brook's Demon Bound from the TBR pile but never got around to reading it, because I was too busy fiddling with the Kindle. Bad jmc.
~ Check out this graphic about language extinction.
Must look up more information on this; I read about language extinction in a couple of linguistics classes in college, but the languages that interested me were those that were experiencing a rejuvenation due to social change and a lift of political repression.
~ The Uncle Buck's Peach Tea is a killer -- tastes like sweet peach tea, not alcohol. Which makes it easy to suck a couple down during happy hour, then stumble as youslide off the bar stool leave the table with your usual grace.
~ I've made my DABWAHA pics -- the final version online doesn't entirely match my original version, but the quarterfinals, semifinals, finals and champ didn't change. Ultimately, for the early rounds, I ended up voting for favorites and in some cases voting more against than for a selection. For example, I selected Be With Me over Lord John and the Hand of Devils, despite not reading BWM because LJHD was a 2007 book, not 2008; I selected Shaken and Stirred over Duke of Shadows, even though I did not really like the book because I hated the second half of DoS. Ultimately, it was hard to choose in the later rounds because books that I loved in different ways were competing -- how to choose between Passage and The Hunger Games, and then between Passage and Cry Wolf?
