 ...and what does she have to do with the next month of your life? Why it's the lovely C.E. Murphy, or as we like to call her, January Selection. The votes have been tallied and in a close horse race, Heart of Stone has been selected as the first ever book for the League of Reluctant Adults Book Club.Please limit your applause to a polite clap or two, we've got business to discuss up in here. Lest this be your average, run of the mill book club, we have engaged the services of a wandering band of hellspawn to keep things interesting (They may or may not respond to the name Gary). They'll pop in from time to time, when not busy toiling in the pits of despair, forging objects of torture and ridicule for sale in the Hellmarkets of depravity. So beware of becoming too serious. That's frowned upon.  Again, we're so excited to be reading Hearts of Stone. I'm planning on using a notecard as a bookmark so I can jot down questions like: Are gargoyles always hard? and Does fear of heights effect their performance award?Things like that. And! We might be able to convince the author to troll the discussion and give up the inside scoop on the scenes that didn't make it into the book--like a DVD extras scenario. Or not, I'm just talking out of my ass here. So, let's give it a good month and leave the last week of January open for discussion. Oh...and be thinking about the next book you want to read. We're going to leave the nominations for the February book up to the readers (we'll probably vote on that mid-January)! |

Yay! Now if only I can persuade somebody to buy me the book for Christmas.... :-)
More bookclubs should include hellspawn and thinly veiled innuendo. Can't wait!
So, I'm guessing March's book will be a race between Mark's masterpiece of monster wit and Anton's magical mayhem. :) Hmmm...
Missy - Oh hells yeah, March is zombie apocalypse funny-style. Then we've got April, which is gonna be huge, too with both Stacia's Personal Demons and Ilona's Magic Burns hittin' the streets. We'll be some readin' fools up in this bitch.
Good heavens. It's extremely surprising to go visit a website, see a title of "Who is this woman?" come up, and then have YOUR OWN PICTURE come up! O.O
Are gargoyles always hard? and Does fear of heights effect their performance award?

Hi Catie - I didn't even think about how you'd react to that opening. Hee hee!
Woo hoo! I won Heart of Stone from the blog and am just awaiting its arrival. I can't wait to read it!
One time I opened a web page with "who is this man?" at the top, but the picture was of Mark Henry and not me. I think the Washington Department of Corrections has updated it since then.
Todd - Lucky for all of you, they still haven't caught me.
