Haha, I hope that is not your new ride. Blue beetles need a master mechanic like Mike. Got one?

Hmm, autographed via bookplate. I've always tended to avoid those myself, and I'm trying to reduce my collection of books, not increase it.

Last night I finished reading Ready Player One! An engrossing story with great characters, and it's happening in a fantastic and interesting environment. I couldn't put it down last night till I finished it (an hour and a half after my normal bedtime)!

You are doing good with an hour and a half past bedtime. Sometimes on the weekend I read until an hour or two before I usually get up out of bed - way past bedtime.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Did anyone else notice this item in Jim’s Dragon Con Schedule?

Title: Dresden Files – Bringing the Wizard to Life
Description: Interview and audience Q&A with the creator of the Harry Dresden character and the actor who brought him to life on the screen.
Time: Sat 2:30pm – 3:30pm (Length: 1 Hour)
Location: Regency VI – VII – Hyatt
Tentative Panelists: Jim Butcher, Paul Blackthorne

It's interesting to me because I'd seen the entire TV series before discovering the books! Because I'd enjoyed the TV show and would miss it since It'd been cancelled was the reason I went looking for the books.

Yes exactly. Not my kind of music. First time I seen the music video - and it didn't improve my opinion of the song.

For some odd reason the below video is on YouTube and the other 3 parts seem to only be available on the SyFy web site. Access these other 3 parts here.

The Dresden Files tv series is available on amazon prime. I watched the whole thing, but man, sometimes the clashes with the books was just really jarring to me. But since I'd read the books before seeing the series, I did find it amusing how they cherry-picked things from the series to use.

I've not yet run across anyone who viewed the TV series after having become a fan of the novels and actually liked the TV series. I however liked the TV series a lot as I saw the entire series as it was broadcast on SyFy. But then it got cancelled and because I missed it, I located the books and started reading them. I liked the books even better. I have DVDs of the TV series and watch them periodically.
