All the little things... @treeresin-blog - Tumblr Blog

Maybe I'm not meant for this.

I've been writing with pen and paper. Sorry, tumblr. Some things just need to be handwritten.

Greetings and Salutations, I am the Literary Madman. After walking across the Mediterranean in boots made of Martian sandpaper with my pet rainbow-colored Dodo named after the guy who discovered eggs were edible, I looked up to the sky and saw the Madman signal leading me here to tell you that you are a fantastic, stupendous person with a fantabulous blog and a terrific personality. Keep on being completely amazing. I now return you to your regularly scheduled internet.

You are incredibly kind. I’m rather fond of your writings and rants. Journey well, madman.

It's a new day.

In the past month I have lost my job. My friend since 8th grade (10+ years) blew me off to get high on Thanksgiving when I was sad from my daughter being gone this week. My phone glass was shattered by said friends boyfriend with an unlikely chance of his fixing it. This is the kicker. My best friend of two years, whom I love; has yet again broken his promises. I went into this knowing long distance is hard. From experience, I know this. My heart feels so broken. I'm so frustrated.

Gandalf caught me making faces.

I like your bookshelves. (:

D'aww thanks! Took most of a day, but it was fairly simple!

As I follow many book blogs I figured it was time to show off my shelves. Only I had none. So with some improvised creativity I made some. Enjoy!

Clariel is out today!!!! Everyone in this office knows I’m a giant Garth Nix fan, possibly because I’ve made them ALL read the Old Kingdom series.

Our reviewer Alaya Dawn Johnson makes the valid point that this may not be the best jumping-on point for new fans (start with Sabriel), but, she says, Nix’s command of the genre is “clear and thrilling.”

He understands the darkness that is part of every hero’s journey, that at some point along her path her greatest enemy will be herself. So many great fantasy narratives play with the temptation of power and anger — generally, so that the hero can overcome them. But what if she doesn’t? What if she says yes?

Go forth and read!
