12:51 ~ gaze at the moon

I was tired on Christmas and couldn't lay my hands on something to review. The easy thing I had wasn't in the db, though some of its relatives were. So I thought, it's Christmas, I'll slack. Only then I kept doing it. Now I can rush and cram in 7 reviews today and tomorrow, but I'm still left with wondering what I'd review. The Golden Books up in my brother's old room?

Well, anyway, total: 24, remaining: 7

Here's the latest (hey, wait, there's 9 I haven't posted here yet? Wow. Lots for you all to read.)

Knight Fantastic
Storyteller (This is a book about the Clarion workshop)
Smoke and Mirrors (The Tanya Huff version, not Neil Gaiman)
The Harry and Hermione Shippers Coloring and Sticker Book (Okay, it's not really called that)
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories
Adventures with Hagrid (Coloring Book)
Cardcaptors: Changing Places
Smallville: Greed
Bright Idea: Colorful Markie (Coloring Book)

And Epinions gave us a bonus! I don't have a hat, so my bonus wasn't as large as some, but I did get something. I can cash out now! But I'll wait until the next Income Share posts in a week or two.

15:23 ~ gaze at the moon

I hit exactly 10,000 total hits on Epinions the other day. Got myself a screencap, but I'm sure you don't care to see it.

Strange But True: True-life Japanese Reader
A Japanese Reader
Japanese at a Glance
Where Are You, Little Green Dragon?

Sensing a theme? But I still have more Japanese language study books left than ones I've actually done.

15 down! 16 to go! Nearly halfway.

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (Movie)
Kodansha's Pocket Romanized Japanese-English Dictionary

11 down, 20 to go!

18:20 ~ gaze at the moon

I've completed a whole week! So without further ado:

The Books of Magic: Bindings
In the Beginning... Was the Command Line

7 down. 24 to go.

Gadget show again. They showed a screen that could be rolled. So it was small to start and then you pulled it out and got a much bigger viewing area. It's also the thickness of paper. Looked like it was just black and white and nothing too fancy, but it's the start of something. Not only will portable devices be able to have small->large screens, but it seems to me you could easily make a book out of page screens like this. Or think of advertising banners and things.

I believe they said Phillips was responsible.

I'm on a roll. Here's some Epinions reviews.

Future Sports
Read Real Japanese
Emjoi IonAir Compact (Not a book, in case you were wondering)

5 down. 26 to go.

I've actually written one more, but it and another book are pending being added to the database.

14:44 ~ gaze at the moon

I only read four books last month? Jeesh. Not quite my worst month, but it's right up there. Why is it that my best month is February? That only has 28 days! Some kid's books and manga, but that still left 5 'real' books, which is better than November. Whazzup with that? Maybe February is the month to do Nanowrimo, despite the fewer days.

Anyhow, here's some more reviews.

Dave Barry Slept Here
Carol Berg's Daughter of Ancients

2 down, 29 to go.

Ganbaru zo!
