I had to drop my sister off at Lackland AFB yesterday afternoon, which we were both sad about. The weekend was a ton of fun! We ate tons of good food around Austin, went to karaoke, went thirft/boutique shopping on South Congress, played with doggies (mine, and a...
via I'm not sure if many of you know this, but Dragonflight Dreams is actually the 3rd blog I own (and the @DragonflightGal account is my 3rd twitter account, correspondingly). I have a LOT of different interests in life, and they don't always blend or overlap neatly....
A Talent for War (Alex Benedict #1) By Jack McDevitt I've read other works by McDevitt (the Priscilla Hutchins/Academy series, Eternity Road, Ancient Shores) and been impressed, so I finally got around to trying out his other series. The Talent for War is the first...
Midnight Never Come By Marie Brennan "England flourishes under the hand of its Virgin Queen: Elizabeth, Gloriana, last and most powerful of the Tudor monarchs. But a great light casts a great shadow. In hidden catacombs beneath London, a second Queen holds court:...

Dawnthief (Chronicles of the Raven, Book 1) By James Barclay You'll note in the above title, and on the book cover itself that this is Book 1 (the first) in a series titled Chronicles of the Raven (the Raven being the mercenary group the series revolves around). So...
The Masters of Solitude By Marvin Kaye and Parke Godwin This was another relic (1978) unearthed on my bookshelves, remnant of a long-ago library sale shopping spree. The Masters of Solitude is a post-apocolyptic story about the divide between the two groups who have...
Heartless By Anne Elisabeth Stengl Another New Fiction shelves find at the library; luckily, this one was worth the find. This book plugs itself as 'timeless fantasy' which is true. It's a classic prince must rescue the princess from the dragon theme, but with a few...
Having a birthday this past weekend inevitably made me think about what's in store for the coming year, and what I'd like to accomplish. So here is my list of 28 things I'd like to do before turning 28 next October 23 (2012). I'll update it as I knock things out. In...
