It is International Book Week.

It is International Book Week.
The rules: Grab the closest book to you, turn to page 54, post the 5th sentence as your status. Don't mention the title.

Unlike some of the more militant defenders of the faith on the continent, the clergy of Ireland humbly accepted the violence of the barbarians as inexplicable expressions of the will of God.

LOL, no. I know I'm not supposed to reveal the title, but I reached blindly into the shelf and came out with Mary Chestnut's Civil War: "But bad women, if they are not white or in a menial capacity, may swarm the house unmolested."

I think I'll reach for another book.

Ooh! A Series! even better

Yeah, look for the Iron Druid series. About the last druid living in Phoenix. It's no Dresden, but it's not bad. It's fast and easy.

If you like other recommendations, have you read Brent Weeks "The Night Angel Trilogy"?

Jason ON said…
Yes, I have. Plus the first book of his other series.

The Lightbringer series is also good. I'll have to reread the first before the new one is out since it's been a while

If you like Brent Weeks, you should read Brandon Sanderson, if you haven't already.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch?

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch? What has Apple done since the launch of the iPhone that was truly innovative? I read articles all he time about features this and software that, but I haven't seen anything where it was definitively proven where Apple has been cutting edge for years. christopher rizzo called me a troll for questioning his religious adherence to Apple consumerism.  So, can someone explain where Apple is truly innovative? I'm not talking about a minor change like the USB-C port or "slide to unlock" but a true innovation that's once again changing the industry. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3043419/what-the-apple-watch-does-that-googles-watches-dont
