There's a review of All the King's Men in the movie section waiting to be blurbed.

I'll try to do a book review by the end of this week. Probably will be The Amulet of Samarkand, perhaps The Big Book of Bright Ideas. I can't make any promises at this point, though.

I submitted a review for The Stolen Child on September 23 and it's still not up.

There's a review of "The Guardian" in Movies, ready to be blurbed.

edit: Oh, and there's another one on the way of "The Departed."  Coming soon and all that.

Ok.  The review of "The Departed"  is in the movie section waiting to be blurbed.  The reviewers gave it 4 stars and requested it be given 6 clocks.  From the review it sounds like it warrants that, but as always, I defer to Fell.  Fell?

With a commanding voice Fell brings forth his fatherly advice and scripts a bot to bid the review a score of 6-clocks and a post to the main page.

Could someone who has contact with MsFish make her sit down and write a geek girl column for us?

You can't force the greatness that is Geek Girl!

She's working on it.

As for my afore-mentioned Book Review, it didn't happen and won't happen this week, because I'm moving from Utah to California. Next week I will work really hard to get something done, I promise.  ;D

SE, sorry I disappeared off the face of the earth.  I'm submitting an interview with Carrie Vaughn today, and I will strive to have a Geek Girl done for you over the weekend.  I've been having so much anxiety over the column that I haven't been able to write it in months, because I'm worried it won't be any good.  I'm trying to give myself permission to be bad, so I can pick the column up again.  (Support much appreciated.)

NP Fish, just know we appreciate any articles and trust us we don't judge quality much here.  If we did do you think anything I'd ever write would get published?

YOu have my permission to be bad. because your bad is better than most people's good, frankly.

anyway, i think if you post what you think is "bad" you'll be surprised about how well its received.

Alright, interview submitted.  It's an email interview with the author of Kitty and the Midnight Hour, so I'm really excited about it.  Someone needs to check my html on the link at the bottom, and my introduction sucks, so any suggestions or changes to it are welcome.  

Thanks for the support, guys.  Geek Girl incoming.

The front page is looking empty and quite forlorn. Why don't you post a book review, or something? I know I submitted one over a week ago.
