Have you ever been at work, minding your own business, when you stumble upon a name that makes you burst into laughter? Well, obviously it happened to me today. The name? Cowpie. The person’s name was XXXXX Cowpie.
I’m sure the people in the room wondered if I was psychotic.

I took the girls to the library and found (as usual) there were only three books that interested me and gave them a box of books. Their paperback romance, sci-fi and fantasy sections are pathetic. Sci-fi and fantasy share a section of shelving. One section. Six standard rows. That’s it.
The paperback romance and fiction have a total of four sections of five rows, sad. 😦 The books are usually very old (the library budget was cut in half). I’ve still got a ton of boxes to go through and drop off at the library.
Meanwhile I borrowed:
but did they have any bathroom’s like this hidden anywhere? Just asking.

My buddy Kimberly tagged me for the Happy Meme so here goes.

Six things that make me happy (Yeah, you won’t find anything deep here):
I choose you! Tag your it!
I’m almost finished reading a book by a popular author. No I won’t name the person, but I’m almost to the point where I want to go back and count the number of times this person has used the following sentence.
Her womb clenched.
Any comments?

Miles Flint is a retrieval artist determined to flush out the files of his past. He has found clues that point toward his ex-wife who might be keeping a life altering secret.
The Recovery Man has taken Rhonda Shindo, fka Rhonda Flint, to face alien justice on another planet, but not before terrorizing her 13-year-old daughter, Talia.
The police on Callisto, Jupiter’s Moon where Rhonda lives, begin to search for Rhonda immediately and assume responsibility for Talia. But a legal document throws everything off balance.
Rhonda signed a contract with her employer before she became a parent and agreed that if anything were to happen to her, the company would become her child’s guardian.
Is the kidnapping really about Rhonda? Or is it a way to gain access to her child?
Ms. Rusch has an entire series entitled the Retrieval Artist. This series takes place far in the future when people live on Jupiter and its moon, Callisto. Recovery Man is book six in the series and the only book I’ve read that was written by Ms. Rusch.
It was told in the third-person and kept me up to date as it traveled from character to character. It was cleanly written; I never wondered what was going on nor did I become confused. The science and technology was nothing new (moving sidewalks, talking houses, computer avatars…), but I did find the actual story to be detailed, interesting and entertaining.
Would I read it again? No and I don’t see myself urging others to read it, but if you’re in the mood for a science fiction book and have no other story in mind you might want to check Recovery Man out.

This looks interesting. It’s slated to be released in April.
One night six years ago, Allie and her friends got drunk and chanted a fake spell they made up… and accidentally opened a portal to Hell. Now it resides in the basement of the diner Allie runs, and it’s a pain in the ass — mystical crap is always coming out, and then it has to be killed. Demon guts get everywhere, stuff gets smashed up, there are salt circles and sigils all over the place… It gets tedious.
The up side is that Allie gets her own personal demon hunter guarding the Door and killing the demons: a sexy and mysterious, Stetson-wearing, snide-remark-making, dark-eyed demon hunter named Ryan.
But after six years of jibes and sexual tension, the Door disappears at the same time there’s a surge in demonic activity — and no one seems to know what’s going on. Not Narnia the bitchy psychic witch, or Roxie, a kickass demon hunter from the other side of town.
It’s not Allie’s idea for a team of demon hunters to find another Door and go into it to see if Hell is about to take over Earth, but she definitely wants in on that plan. After years of seeing the havoc a Door to Hell wreaks on the world, she’s ready to grow up, take responsibility for helping open a Door in the first place, and kick some demon butt.
Okay, and she’d also like some quality make out time with Ryan, and mortal peril is always a turn-on, right? — Anna Katherine
