Still trying to figure out what this is.  Looks like a bug of some sort.  Can't believe it was in me!  Gross!

Tin Man Of Oz ( A Shadow Of Oz Short Story)

This exceptionally short tale explores the origins of the Tin Man.  While the premise may seem intriguing, the story lacks depth and character development.  How is one supposed to become engrossed in a story when motives and reasoning are so poorly explained?  As with the first book, these important elements are glossed over in favor of a faster pace.  The rushed feel comes at the expense of enjoyment.

Even with all its imperfections, there are enough charming elements for it to be fairly entertaining.  If you're familiar with the style of the author, and can overlook these issues, you'll enjoy this quick, fluffy read.

The Hardcore Truth: The Bob Holly Story

I had no interest in reading this book, but then heard rave reviews from people I respect, and decided to dive in.  I don't know what they were thinking.  From the opening pages, hatred and bitterness is spewed in unrelenting storms.  I'm the first to champion honesty, but they're ways of sharing insight and opinions without complete disregard for others.

Of course, when reading a biography, one somewhat expects a light to be favorably shined on the subject.  One of my biggest complaints in regards to this particular offering is the lack of responsibility Bob takes for his actions, or any negativity that results from them.  The blame for every bad choice or circumstance is always squarely placed on someone else's shoulders.  It's quite disgusting!

Inconsistency plagues this book.  On several occasions, Hardcore will spend an entire chapter remorselessly, (and most of the time, without any real reason), ripping an individual limb from limb.  Not a problem, if it was genuinely how he feels.  Here's my issue.  After his target has been decimated beyond recognition, he completely reverses course, and heaps praise on them.  After the second time, I began to feel nauseous, and off balance from the whiplash.  This book should come bundled with a voucher for free neck surgery.

I was a fan.  Not anymore.  Wouldn't waste my time reading this again if I were paid!

New!

William DeVry is set to join the cast of General Hospital on July 30th, in the contract role of Derek Wells.  Though it doesn't make sense to me, as she's leaving shortly, Derek is Connie's boss.  Maybe he comes to town to usher her off canvas, and decides to stick around.  While I'm on new character overload, I really like DeVry, and will give Derek a chance.

Look at this gorgeous lady in the picture with me!  Haven't taken one together since 2009!  Think it came out pretty awesome!

Spin!

People drive me crazy!  Don't realize you made a mistake, correct it, and then cast yourself as the hero.  Since the announcement of AMC and OLTL coming to OWN, Oprah has gone in to super spin mode.

"I heard you! You Facebook’d, you tweeted, and I listened."

Seriously?  Prospect Park ring a bell?  Everyone needs to stop heaping praise on The Big O, and remember that she made it crystal clear that she wanted nothing to do with these shows when they were canceled.  The only reason she changed her mind is because a soap is the only thing keeping her network on the air.  If The Haves And The Have Nots had bombed, she would have went right on ignoring our pleas.  I'm grateful she came to the realization that daytime drama is still powerful, but don't be mistaken.  It's all about dollars and cents.  If I hear one more person thank her for "saving our soaps", I'll go insane.

Just keeping it real!

Celebration!

Need a reason for everyone you love to be in the same place at the same time?  Throw yourself a birthday party!  I did, and it was wonderful!  By far, the best part was seeing family I hadn't in years.  The presents didn't hurt, either.  Such a awesome day!

So Pretty!
