Carl Kasell & Peter Sagal by davekaleta on Flickr.
although the story is bittersweet, it does speak to idea of anticipating the full light & energy of real love, and that is why I thought this might be a good video to share on Imbolc, the second Sabbat of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year - it’s recognizing the seed, knowing if we nurture it just a bit longer, it will grow into something magical - new life, the return of the Sun - it’s Brigid’s holiday - she was the Lightbringer - for me, she is a Goddess of Hope & Faith
the kid in Touch would love JoCo’s song, I think LOL
and this video showing how this bad ass fractal forms is freaking sweet, too :D
Did you feel that? A tremor in the LEGO Star Wars Force? Or was it a RING?
LEGO’s site is sadly lacking on deets, right now, except that these Lordly blocks will be hitting shelves in the Summer of 2012; but io9 supplied a few more bits of tid & some speculated/leaked sets.

New to our American shores, but long loved in Australia, Kylie Chan’s Dark Heavens trilogy, makes its debut this month, with the release of the first book, White Tiger. This book could be summed up as Chinese mythology meets contemporary urban fantasy. Dark Heavens is truly a breath of fresh air (and water, if you’re counting Chinese elementals) [...]
I must admit, I did not come to this reading as an objective reviewer – I am a long time fan of Ms. Carriger’s delightful steampunk world. I also must admit, this isn’t the first time I’ve written about her Parasol Protectorate, here on GSB. Last November, I offered up a “series to date” review of [...]
Vicki Pettersson’s final Sign of the Zodiac novel hit bookstores, today. I got the opportunity to read the book a wee bit early, however; and I’m here to tell you why you should rush your local bookseller & buy this book (& the prior books, if you’re not current) today. For urban fantasy fans, this [...]
Terri Garey’s RITA-award winning Nicki Styx series has been haunting my bookshelves for years. Wild, wacky, and original, those tale have delighted me from the first chapter of Dead Girls are Easy; the first book in the Nicki Styx series. However, my goal wasn’t to tempt you with tales of Nicki’s shenanigans. (At least, not [...]
Welcome to a new year, geeks. As we’re all thinking about years past, and new dates to come, I think it would be the perfect time to talk to you about the Gods of the Night Series, by Nina Bangs. This story puts an interesting spin on the prophesy about the Mayan calendar and the [...]
First, gentle readers, as we’re about to discuss a series that addresses all manner of Steampunk storylines, Victorian fripperies, combustibles, comestibles, head gear, parasols and proper manners, let me begin with an apology. We’d intended to share this series review with you a month back, but we kept going back for more, which delayed our [...]
We rejoin our previous review, already in progress…. Last month, we published part one of our review of the Sign of the Zodiac Series, by Vicki Pettersson. Now, we’re hitting that point where many authors seem to slip a bit, when their series pass trilogy to the “undetermined number of books, how many contracts can [...]
Jeaniene Frost introduced readers to her vampires with the release of her Night Huntress/Cat and Bones Series. She expanded our vampiric horizons by branching out beyond Cat, her halfbreed superhero with bite, and sharing stories centering on some of the other powerful supporting cast, bringing them to the front lines. First Drop of Crimson was [...]
