so-soSeems like I came across a stand-alone novel which seems to be not typical for Meg Cabot. The coming off age (or coming off witchcraft) story is nice for the teenager target group but for me as an adult reader the ending was a bit rushed. I couldn‘t believe how gullible Jinx was and that she didn‘t realize where Zack‘s infatuation lies. Completely out of it.
pickA collection of short ghost stories all written by the author. Like many collections, it's a mixed bag - some of the stories are really quite effective with the ambience & creeping sense of menace, whereas others either wander off into too much extraneous detail or frustratingly fizzle out just as they're getting good. Given James's background, it shouldn't come as a surprise that so many of the stories are based around religion & the Church.

An episode of series 3 of Supernatural sees Sam & Dean take on a couple of pagan gods who take human sacrifices in the Christmas season. I've never been able to view meadowsweet the same since.
pickWhat a book! I haven‘t read Anne Rice in a very long time. Her descriptions of the cities and towns her story takes place in are in point. Such a poet! And who doesn‘t love a good ghost story? This book was published in 1997, what have I been waiting for? Anna is the reason that I had to visit New Orleans and walk thru the Garden District. I saw one of her homes. Now I feel I have to see Rio. Her stories pull me to the locations she writes about.
pickI started off not liking how ridiculous the premise seemed and then got sucked in and really enjoyed myself.
pick#Choose20 comics that stayed with you or influenced you. One comic a day in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews. Just covers. Day 8: Leave it to Chance: Shaman‘s Rain
pickThis penultimate (for now) book in the series examines the dark side of....Morris dancing. Yes the traditionally twee pastime involving dressing in a costume, with bells, & banging wooden sticks together! I might have been more incredulous had I not read a book earlier this year (or last year) about the old practice of wassailing & its more sinister side.
