Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.

I know!
And vexation I say! My review book from March still hasn't arrived. The publishers have another ll days before it's officially late though. I saw a copy in store last week and I want one. My book for April is the next Tom Gates. I haven't even started my classic horror anthology and the library is wanting stuff back. Eek! I've sort of been neglecting things as well. Can't believe I've been slowly leafing through Sword of Destiny since January. I want to read it now but I need to get Caligari finished so I can return it. I've renewed it twice already, I think. | ||||

Yeah. The list is up for the month and then the winners are chosen and the houses have 60 days I think to get the books out to the reviewers.

Were those always books? I only know the TV show for Murdoch Mysteries. I have a couple Midsomer Murders books hanging around. I've found three of the six so far: The Killings at Badger's Drift, Death of a Hollow Man, and I think Written in Blood.

actually when you watch the tv show Murdoch Mysteries, one of the last credits to show is it's based on the books by Maureen Jennings.
the first book, Except the Dying, was published in 1997. book 2 was 1998, book 3 1991, book 4 2003, book 5 2005, book 6 2006, book 7 2007... and book 8 in 2017! the show started in 2008. also, i can has s13 of Murdoch Mysteries now?? XD

Well, my march review book I've declared a no-show. How rude!
On the plus side, dropped off a late book at the library today, but copied the bibliography first. Someone left a ten cents credit on the copier, so I could copy my page with my one nickel! And the guy at the desk waved the late fees as well. (All of 35 cents but cool!). Good day. One of the books I have out is something called "Lord Byron; the vampyre and the poet." I have to say, that title had me curious. | ||||

oh that is an interesting title.
i'm taking a little break from Middle Earth, and am reading the latest Mercy Thompson novel, Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs; and then i have another Murdoch Mystery novel after that.

Whoops, an error in the title there. It's actually "The Poet and the Vampyre: The Cures of Byron and the Birth of Literature's Greatest Monsters." Byron has been credited as the inspiration for the Ann Rice style of vampire, with noble demeanor and charismatic nuances, etc. It goes back to when Frankenstein was invented, so I'm curious to read about it. I know there is a fiction work where Byron gets tempted by a vampire. He was in the habit of going out at all hours of the night and sleeping all day. Along with things like drinking from a cup made of a skull and bringing a pet bear to university (they wouldn't let him bring his dog).
