Glow Eyes Book

Glow Eyes Book , originally uploaded by AnnaleeBlysse . I got this Jiggle Glow Eyes book for my little nephew for Christmas because he likes fish and jiggly things and books ... not so he could read it in the dark. Do you imagine the company that designed these submitted a business proposal to the Small Business Administration and got it approved? LOL. See also: www.flickr.com/photos/annaleeblysse/4239152361/

Nevada State Capitol

Nevada State Capitol , originally uploaded by Annalee's Pics . Historical photograph of the Nevada State Capitol taken in 1875. The image has been changed to remove dust specks and a tear, and it has also been cropped to create a wallpaper. Photocopy Credit: Nevada Historical Society ~ Library of Congress (Historic American Buildings Survey). This is a public domain image. I was looking at image stats on Flickr. This old public domain image I uploaded last July has been viewed 43,303 times. To me that is amazing.

Windy Nights

windy_night , originally uploaded by 8ran . Windy Nights by Robert Louis Stevenson Whenever the moon and stars are set, Whenever the wind is high, All night long in the dark and wet, A man goes riding by. Late in the night when the fires are out, Why does he gallop and gallop about? Whenever the trees are crying aloud, And ships are tossed at sea, By, on the highway, low and loud, By at the gallop goes he. By at the gallop he goes, and then By he comes back at the gallop again.

Any Given Doomsday

I finished reading Lori Handeland's Any Given Doomsday last night. I can only recall having read a novella by Handeland in the past ... which I'd enjoyed. So when I saw the three books in the Phoenix Chronicles up at Borders, I used one of my holiday gift cards and bought them. If you checked the reviews at Amazon you'd note that some people were disappointed (spoiler) that the heroine had sex with two men. Maybe this upset them because you can buy the book in the romance section of a bookstore? But, with respect to this book the spine isn't labelled "paranormal romance". The spine says "novel". In romance, the heroine is typically bound to one man. But, the rules are different for fiction. To me it should be obvious that this novel isn't a "paranormal romance" novel because it is part of a series.
