Book Review: The Girls of Atomic City

The Girls of Atomic City

So I’ve actually started reading books again … and I thought it might be fun to share thoughts on what I’ve read, for anyone who might be reading this blog.  There will be a pretty wide variety of books reviewed

Memeage Catchup, one of three

These have been stacking up, so a series of short posts to deal with them.  Tagging some folks in the Facebook echo. This can be a quick one. Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read

Quote For the Moment

  • Monday Meme #51 — Intellectuals in America
      This is the final Monday Meme in the series.  I’m shifting my focus to a more fully realized webcomic series, which I call Musings In Grayscale.  The first comic in the series will be published October 15 and future installments will appear twice a month, on the 1st and 15th. Thanks for sharing this

    Monday Meme #50 — Harry Potter
