Here's the latest article from the Horror Literature site at BellaOnline.com.

Bitten by Dan O'Brien
This is a review of Dan O'Brien's novel Bitten. It is a story about an F.B.I. agent, Lauren Westlake, and her search for a mysterious murder. This book throws a completely different spin on werewolves and is well worth the read.

Hello loyal readers! This week I have for you a retrospective of IDW Publishing's Ghostbusters ongoing series. If you missed my first entry in this format, which I did not originally title as such, these are a mix between a light review and a catch up on previous events. I was late picking up these issues, so I figured there might be others who missed out and wanted to see what was happening with the paranormal investigators and eliminators. Happy reading funny book lovers.

2012-01-26T03:55:00.001-08:00

Dear Google user, We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google. We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.
One policy, one Google experience

Easy to work across Google Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.	Tailored for you If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.	Easy to share and collaborate When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.

Protecting your privacy hasn't changed Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).	Understand how Google uses your data If you want to learn more about your data on Google and across the web, including tips and advice for staying safe online, check out http://www.google.com/goodtoknow	Got questions? We got answers. Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)

Notice of Change March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site.

Hello loyal readers and Happy New Comics Day! I should probably insert "snowy" in there as that is what I woke up to on this chilly November morning. This week I take a look at the print and digital formats of comic books. There is a big push for digital distribution. The hope is that it will allow easier access to comics and thus increase readership. What are your thoughts on this subject? How do you prefer to read your comics? Happy reading.

Hi everyone!

Every once in a while a new mystery writer comes along that just takes the genre by storm. Mitchell Scott Lewis has created an astrologer-detective who must use his charts and knowledge in order to solve crimes. The story is fast paced and doesn't skip a beat until the final reveal - at the very end.

I would love to hear in the forum from anyone who figured out this whodunit prior to the next to the last chapter.

Here's the latest article from the Mystery Books site at BellaOnline.com.

Murder in the 11th House Review
Hired by his defense attorney daughter, astrologer-detective David Lowell must find out who is framing his daughter's loud-mouth-bartender client, and why his own life is now in danger.

Mystery Books Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

2011-09-24T12:05:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone,

Edie here with the latest featured mystery book. Today's offering is from debut mystery novelist Cheryl Crane. Some of you may remember that she is the daughter of Hollywood legend Lana Turner.

Following the adage to write what you know, Ms. Crane has written a fine mystery set among the glitter and glamour of Hollywood.

I think you will like Realtor to the stars and amateur sleuth, Nikki Harper, and her mother, former screen idol Victoria Bordeaux. I'm most impressed with the humor throughout this novel, and the surprise ending. If you enjoy a well-written whodunit, you will want to check this one out!

Here's the latest article from the Mystery Books site at BellaOnline.com.

The Bad Always Die Twice Review
1950's actor Rex March died in a fiery plane crash in the California desert. Six month's later his body showed up in the bed of his former lover, and police accuse her of killing him just a few hours before he was found.

Jokes & Riddles Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

2011-09-23T15:41:00.000-07:00

Happy Autumn Equinox!

This topic area is still looking for a new editor. If you or someone you know would be interested in writing for this site, please visit the pages at http://www.bellaonline.com/misc/joinus/ to apply! We'd love to hear from you!

In the meantime, here is a beautiful offering from BellaOnline to help you enjoy the beginning of fall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Autumn Equinox is when we release our fall issue of our Mused Literary Magazine! Take a short break from your chores and savor the offerings. Here is more about this new issue:

Autumn with its rich, vibrant hues inspires us to breathe in the richness of life and celebrate each day. There are the exuberant images of whales waving hello against the mountains of Antarctica. Then there are the tiny, 8mm beauties which radiate an ethereal glow. In between are the landscapes so serenely beautiful they seem like a fantasy brought to life.

Poetry paints the air with its mosaic of sounds. We are seduced by the wail of a saxophone and haunted by the images of a woman struggling against cancer. A sister comes to term with her fractious relationship with her sibling. Young love blossoms on the wooden slats of a dock's edge.

Fiction twists our emotions as an expectant mother fears the worst. A lonely woman craves the grace of dancers' delicate movements. An abused woman clutches at her options and seeks escape.

Non-Fiction aims the spotlight on the experiences of our community. A grandmother struggles with the loss of her beloved mother. A tour guide in Alaska enriches visitors with knowledge of the Tlingit culture. A wife finds friction with her tough-old-bird husband, yet appreciates why they remain side by side.

Life is not a smooth, effortless sail from one coast to another. It is often rough and stormy, with fierce squalls and periods of dead calm where all motion seems to be lost. Maybe it is these stops and starts which remind us to look around us with an active eye and appreciate the beauty which inhabits every corner of our world. Every moment has something to teach us, if we would but stop and listen.

Enjoy our Autumn Equinox issue of the Mused Literary Review!

http://www.bellaonline.com/review/issues/fall2011/

For those interested in the print copy, you can use the code "OKTOBERFEST305" to get 15% off the price through September 26, 2011. That is Lulu's discount - we already have the profits set to zero so you get the cheapest price we can list it at. Enjoy!

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1408810638/mewo-20

Child narrators are perfect for modern literature. Like Mockingbird's Scout Finch and Christopher Boone of A Curious Incident before him, 11-year-old Harri Opoku tells his story without guile, all the better for us to ponder life's pathos and recognize its ironies. From what I've read so far, Harri is clearly disturbed by the fatal knifing in the opening chapter. He was only "half friends" with the victim, who went to a different school, but we can read his preoccupation with the boy's death between the lines of the first otherwise blithe chapters.

Harri has, of course, been compared to Jack from Emma Donoghue's Room, which made the Booker shortlist last year. In fact, he's not even the only young narrator in this year's shortlist: Jaffy Brown of Jamrach's Menagerie, by Carol Birch, is giving him a run for his money. It's a good thing, then, that Harri's the second-best runner in Grade 7. Stay tuned for more as I continue reading this book ...

***

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

If you could coin a word, what would it be?

I'm in the middle of reading, among other things, Stephen Kelman's Pigeon English and Shakespeare's Hamlet. Kelman's narrator has a quirky vocabulary inflected with what I'm guessing are expressions from his native Ghanaian: asweh, hutious, advise yourself. "In England," Harri remarks, "there's a hell of different words for everything. It's for if you forget one, there's always another one left over. It's very helpful."

The English have their Bard to thank for that, of course. I read recently that the average person uses about 17,000 words in an entire lifetime, but Shakespeare used twice that in his works. When English didn't provide him with the right word, he coined the word himself, including: besmirch, excitement, hush, pander and rant - all of which appear in Hamlet.

So, have you found yourself forgetting a word lately, and wished you could just make one up? What would the word be? Post it on the forum!

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

Agatha Christie's Murder of Roger Ackroyd, a graphic novel by Bruno Lachard

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/284810175X/mewo-20

First published in France in 2004, this is one of only eight comic-book adaptations of Christie printed by Harper so far. It's like reading Poirot in the world of Tintin - and it works. It works far better than the BBC TV production released in 2000, in which Christie's narrative sleight-of-hand was all but abandoned and the story reworked beyond recognition. The only good thing about it was David Suchet's Poirot.

The graphic-novel format allows Dr. Sheppard to narrate, as he does in Christie's novel. The first panel shows the village of King's Abbot just before dawn, train tracks on one side, church spire in the distance. Sheppard's opening words frame the rest of the story: "Almost five in the morning. I reread my manuscript for the last time. It all started with the death of Mrs. Ferrars on the night of 16 September ... " Muted colors create a noir-ish atmosphere and suggest - wordlessly, subtly - that what we're seeing may not be what we should believe.

Given the mystery's solution, I can see how the novel might be impossible to render word for word in images. Yet, as illustrated brilliantly in this book, Lachard succeeds where BBC screenwriter Clive Exton miserably, utterly failed.

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

Twitterature by Alexander Aciman & Emmett Rensin

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0143117327/mewo-20

By no means is this 2009 book a new or recent phenomenon, and it spoofs literary fiction rather than adds to its ranks. But it's fun. And for a reader whose attention span is shrinking, what could be shorter than a classic work in 20 tweets or fewer?

"Twitterature," as described on the book's cover, summarizes the classics "for the twenty-first-century intellect." It works because classic fiction is mostly about tragedy, which should ultimately be spoof-proof. A classic should stand up to not only the test of time, but also the modern habit of viewing things through an ironic lens.

So here's Hamlet (username: OedipusGothplex), my favorite tragic prince: "My royal father gone and nobody seems to care. Mom says to stop wearing black. STOP TRYING TO CONTROL ME! I wish my skin would just ... melt."

Here's Crime and Punishment's Raskonikov, the most morose character I've ever had to read: "It's hard being a poor student - lots of work, crappy room, and I have the ugliest hat this side of the Urals." Later: "I've got it. Rather than accept financial aid from my friend, I'll murder an elderly money-lender in cold blood. Why? I'm not telling." Oh, sure he's not. After a dozen tweets: "I think the coppers are starting to get suspicious on account of my acting LIKE A CRAZY PERSON WHO KILLED AN OLD WOMAN." Later still: "Another day in the old jail cell. Everything seems pretty bleak. Other prisoners hate me, and there's nothing much to do." And finally: "Oh hey, it's the New Testament. I'd like to suggest that this book is going to change my life, but that's really a story for another time ... "

This book will certainly save me from feeling like I have to actually spend time on Candide or Swann's Way, Eugene Onegin or The Sorrows of Young Werther. Don Quixote is hilarious: "People say that sleep deprivation, isolation, and too much reading have made me loopy. But I say nay! Nay!!!" And Heathcliff sounds much livelier than he does in Wuthering Heights: "A family has found me, and they keep calling me gypsy. Have I stolen their wallets yet? NO."

True to contemporary language use, the tweets are rife with swear words, so this is not a book for the sweet-natured. But it's all in good fun. Besides, it's totally in character for Sir Gawain and Huck Finn to exclaim, "WTF?" :-)

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

LitFic Challenge: 140 characters in 140 characters

Inspired by reading Twitterature, I came up with this "140 characters" game. Here it is in brief (of course):

Think of a character from a novel or short story. It doesn't have to be a classic, but the more serious and tragic the story, the more fun you can probably have with it.

Give the character a username. Writing as this character, summarize his/her story or persona or conflict in as few tweets as possible. How many tweets you'll need to post depends on how easy or hard it is for others to guess the character.

So the object for players is obviously to guess the character based on your tweets. When we reach a total of 140 characters (characters as in fictional persons, not the elements of sentences), I'll tally up and announce the winner.

Sound like fun? I hope so. I'll start with the first character. As soon as you can guess who it is, post your answer to the forum, and send in your own character tweets!

Hi everyone,

As we begin to move into the fall season, we have a number of interesting and fun mysteries coming up for review.

In this particular novel, shooter Lillie Hawkins continues her hard-driving ways as she tries to grab the best shots for her TV producer while pursuing leads in the latest murder.

Despite the growing danger around her, she doggedly pursues her goals as she hunts down the murderer of a childhood friend.

Here's the latest article from the Mystery Books site at BellaOnline.com.

Hot, Shot, and Bothered Review
Lilly Hawkins, a TV news photographer out of Bakersfield, decides to follow a coroner's van up the mountain rather than head for safety from a raging forest fire, with shocking results.

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

Perfect Lives by Polly Samson

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1860499929/mewo-20

As the summer winds down, my attention span starts to fragment, and I turn to short fiction and magazine articles for my reading material. Polly Samson's collection of 11 short stories is perfect. Published in the UK in 2010, it was the Sunday Times Fiction Choice of the Year and was released in the U.S. in February.

As seems the norm these days, the stories are each complete on its own but are linked by character to create an overarching narrative. (Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge is another example, and even Téa Obreht's novel, The Tiger's Wife, reads like interwoven separate stories.) So far I've only read the first story, "The Egg," which centers on the author's favorite character. Celia Idlewild is preparing breakfast-in-bed for her husband Graham when a disturbing parcel is pushed through the letter box on the door: a raw egg. Its yolk spreading slimily on the floor, its broken shell bears a message that shatters Celia's morning.

Samson writes lyrically, which is not surprising once you know that she co-wrote lyrics to The Division Bell with her husband, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. I'm looking forward to the rest of the book, and the best thing is, I can read it one story at a time.

Who is the most original, complex, interesting female character in literature?

The voting for the most soporific classic brought up some thought-provoking side topics. A remark about Twilight led to a discussion of Bella Swan and Nabokov's Lolita, and ended with my asking: Where are all the Harry Potters for the girls?

Actually, psychologist and literary critic Lucy Pollard-Gott has compiled a list of the most influential characters in literature and legend worldwide. They are ranked in her 2010 book, The Fictional 100. Only one woman made the top 10: Eve. Not exactly a character in literary fiction! Although the list certainly has international appeal, the most modern women in it are Scarlett O'Hara and Toni Morrison's Beloved.

So I'm curious: what fictional girl or woman gives Hamlet, Huck, Harry, and Holden Caulfield a run for their money? Please share your thoughts on the forum!

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

The Winter of Our Disconnect by Susan Maushart

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1846684641/mewo-20

A non-fiction book this time, which attracted me with its Shakespeare allusion of a title and its subtitle: "How one family pulled the plug on their technology and lived to tell/text/tweet the tale." Insipired by a re-reading of Thoreau's Walden, single-parent Maushart convinced her three teenagers to participate in a six-month "digital detox" with her. Six months without their laptops/desktops/iPod/iPhone/Blackberry! That's impressive. Her gaming-maniac son Bill goes back to reading: Harry Potter, Outliers, Kafka on the Shore. Her daughter Anni cooks dinner - coconut fish curry, lasagna - and compiles a family cookbook, writing down, using pen and paper, family recipes dictated to her. Maushart writes convincingly, peppering her observations with the wicked humor of a seasoned columnist. An excerpt from a journal entry reads:

"Arrived home just before B. - who spookily enough (given yesterday's entry) watched and chatted while I cooked dinner.... READ ME HIS ENTIRE ENGLISH SYLLABUS. Does that sound normal to you?"

I'm also enjoying the fact that I can dip into this book in parts and chapters, gleaning its wisdom in between sessions of surfing the web - I mean, reading The Odyssey. In print, of course.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

Do you miss writing letters by hand?

The quotation and books mentioned in this newsletter have to do with a recent conversation with a friend in which my husband and I recalled writing letters. Our friend is in her late teens; she had no idea what we were talking about. Don't you miss receiving a handwritten letter - unfolding the paper, savoring page after page, and then reading it all over again? E-mail is just so different.

Many classic authors are famous for writing long letters that are almost literary works in their own right: Flaubert, Dickens, Twain, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Woolf. Reading their published correspondence, we see them as ordinary people, men and women who worked at their craft. It seems a shame that writers of our time won't be leaving behind such richness of material.

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0425232204/mewo-20

Not being a fan of the multiple-perspective novel, I skimmed whole chapters of this one to stay on Aibileen's and Minny's stories. The buzz surrounding the just-released movie version includes questions of how the author, who is white, could assume the voices of these narrators, who are black. My quibble is simpler: Skeeter's story is boring. As the aspiring journalist who wants - and succeeds in getting - to help the help to publicize their experience, Skeeter tells her side of the story earnestly. This makes for a mundane plot strand. It's the sharp subtext of Aibileen's interactions at work and the comic undertone of Minny's that enliven their narratives.

Before I Go to Sleep by S. J. Watson

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0857520180/mewo-20

Like Leonard in the movie Memento, Christine is suffering from amnesia so severe that all her memories are erased every night. She relies on her husband to explain her life to her, every single morning. Then comes a phone call from Dr. Nash, who says she has been undergoing tests which are looking promising. And yet, Christine has not told her husband. Why?? Much of what ensues is a story within a story, as Christine catches up on the moments she has recorded in a journal which is part of her treatment. That we are mirroring her actions is one of the neat things about the way the story is told. Like the best of mystery writers, Watson lets us figure things out with the characters and gives us a payoff worth staying up for. This is true even if the resolution is clearly mindful of the novel's big-screen potential - it's already been optioned by Ridley Scott's production company.

Where do your books go?

I love the look and feel of books too much to get a digital reading device, but here's the problem: I'm fast running out of shelf space for future reads. So how do I keep the books I don't want to keep, out of the world's landfills? They go to four places.

First, there's my workplace lending library. I got Robert Goddard's Past Caring, one of the most enjoyable beach reads I can remember, from these very shelves.

Second, I give them away. I know it sounds cheap to give away unwanted books to unsuspecting, grateful recipients, but rest assured I take their reading preferences into account. Not to mention the shape the gift is in - no coffee rings or dog ears.

The third place my books go to is anywhere they are wanted. Two of my students spent part of their summer in Ghana, working at an orphanage and donating dozens of books from our school community. A quick online search turns up many non-profit organizations that accept donated books: Better World Books, Room to Read, Books for Africa, Open Books, First Books, Thriftbooks. It's nice to think I'm helping to promote literacy while recycling my used books.

Finally, there are the hotels. If you've seen Goddard's Past Caring, Anita Shreve's Eden Close or Agatha Christie's Seven Dials Mystery on a recent vacation, it might just be the copy I left behind!

What about you - what happens to your used books? I'd love to hear your ideas.

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0753827409/mewo-20

An award-winning first novel, this is the story of a doctor, her beloved grandfather, the enigmatic "deathless man," and the title character. These are the major players, but many other characters appear in chapters alternating with the narrator's story.

Having grown up under the threat, followed by the actuality, of civil war in the Balkan region, Natalia became a doctor like her grandfather - a noble profession in a land of pain and suffering. She is on her way to an orphanage across the border when she receives news that her grandfather has died, not at home but miles away, in a village no one can place on the map. Natalia's adventures unfold as she recalls stories of her grandfather's childhood, which was full of wondrous events and brutal people.

Téa Obreht, who at 25 became the youngest winner of the Orange Prize back in June, has a flair for the poetic and an affinity for mythical settings. The influence of Latin American authors, acknowledged at the back of the book, is evident in the tale of the deathless man, which adds a dimension of magic realism to the grandfather's past. It's this narrative strand, not the main one about the tiger's wife, that captured my interest. Unfortunately, it's the thinnest strand in this bag of many yarns.

Still, The Tiger's Wife is a very impressive debut. If Obreht has any more stories in her notebook after this, she certainly is a writer to look out for in the future.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

What is the most boring classic novel of all time?

Isn't that an intriguing question? It was on a 1950 Columbia University Press survey, according to columnist Jennifer Schuessler of the New York Times Book Review ("Inside the List," July 31). The top five answers? Quite a few allegories:

Pilgrim's Progress - John Bunyan (1678)
Moby Dick - Herman Melville (1851)
Paradise Lost - John Milton (1667)
The Faerie Queene - Edmund Spenser (1590)
The Life of Samuel Johnson - James Boswell (1791)

Possibly it's the didactic nature of allegories that ruins a good story. The survey was directed at teachers, librarians and booksellers - and they should know what they're talking about.

But what book would you choose? Send in your selection via the comment box on my bio page, or post it on the forum. I'll compile a top five of our own for next week's newsletter.

Literary Fiction Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

2011-07-30T20:20:00.000-07:00

Hello, readers!

I'm Lane, your new Literary Fiction editor, and I'm excited to provide you with new book reviews, recommended reads, profiles of authors and characters, musings on movie adaptations, and more in my weekly newsletter.

If you have just joined our BellaOnline readership, welcome - from one newbie to another! If you're familiar with the site, you might have noticed it undergoing fairly extensive renovations. Please let me know if you're trying to find an old article that might have been jostled in the shuffle.

One recent addition to the site that I'll highlight here is the World Literature subject. You'll find the link at the bottom of the subject list on the Literary Fiction home page. Authors of serious fiction come from all over the world and write in dozens of languages, so here is where you'll read about books in translation and stories from diverse cultures. Look out for these articles in upcoming newsletters as well.

Here are the latest articles featured on the site:

15 Women Authors Who Have Improved Fiction
After Shakespeare, who doesn't really count as a fiction writer, the most widely read author ever is Agatha Christie. Check out this list of other noteworthy writing women.

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art57983.asp

10 Summer Reading Classics
I'd compare a summer classic to a soufflé - light, but still a serious indulgence.

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art44929.asp

Review - Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Woolf's most acclaimed novel takes us on a journey of psychological depth in graceful, vibrant prose.

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art172513.asp

I hope you'll enjoy them, and I welcome any feedback you might have. Send me a message anytime by clicking on my name at the top of any Literary Fiction page, which will take you to a page with a comment box. (My bio is also there, if you want to know more about me.)

To participate in free online discussions, please join our active community of readers and share your recommendations, ask and answer questions, and engage in friendly conversation on the Literary Fiction forum. The forum link can be found at the top of each page on the site.

If you have an idea for an article or a discussion topic, do post your thoughts in the forum or drop me a line. I look forward to talking books with you!

One more thing: Feel free to share this message with family and friends who love reading as much as you do.

Happy reading!

Hi everyone,

Edie Dykeman here with the latest article from the Mystery Books site at BellaOnline.com. Devil Wind is the follow-up to the Sammy Greene series by Deborah Shlian and Linda Reid that began with Dead Air.

This particular novel is a mystery suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through! A perfect read for a day at the beach!

Devil Wind Review
Sammy Greene is again on the air, only this time in 1999 Los Angeles with Y2K looming, the Santa Ana winds sweeping wildfires across the LA basin, and a baffling number of murders that include the daughter of a friend.

Not only is she one of my favorite X-Men, but she is near the top of the list of my favorite characters period. I hope you enjoy reading this brief intro into an amazing character. She also serves as a great example of a character of color not based on a multitude of stereotypes.

Hello loyal readers. This week sees the debut of my Character Spotlights. I wanted to write these to showcase various characters, but not just in the typical bio fashion. They are simple introductions to characters such as who they are, some things they've done, and some of their appearances. I have been reading comics for years, so I have developed a love for so many characters and have disliked some others. These spotlights won't always be on my favorite characters though. For the debut spotlight, I chose one of my favorite characters, Carnage. Enjoy.

Hello loyal readers. This has been a pretty slow week. I have slowly been catching up on reading, but I get so backed up that it seems as if those stacks aren't decreasing at all. But it's always good to know that I will never be short of reading material. I hope everyone out there is reading some good books. I have received word that I may be able to attend SDCC 2011 in July. For those of you that don't know, that it San Diego Comic-Con and it is the biggest comic convention in the U.S. This will be my first time in attendance there. I am still in the process of lining things up. There will be more news on that to come. For now, enjoy the newest article,

Hello loyal readers. Last weekend was a great one for fans of comics and for anyone interested. We saw the release of the highly anticipated Thor movie and the annual celebratory event known as Free Comic Book Day. Neither of those disappointed. I hope everyone was able to get out and participate in FCBD at least. I missed out on a couple of books, but picked up some others and also left with a nice haul thanks to the 50% off back issue sale. Here is the new article for the week as well as the FCBD article for those of you who missed out. Enjoy.

Hi everyone,

This particular book was written by a retiree and is his first book. While I struggled with the beginning of the story, once I got into it I literally could not put it down. Spent too many late nights wondering what would happen next.

Here's the latest article from the Mystery Books site at BellaOnline.com.

Hi everyone!

We are experiencing our first Spring in the deep south and it is warm to say the least! Hopefully, you are finding time to read your favorite mysteries whether the weather is warm or cool in your area.

Here's the latest article from the Mystery Books site at BellaOnline.com.

Bedeviled Eggs Review
As the Cackleberry Club gals are preparing for Halloween, Chuck Peebler is struck down as he is leaving the club. Who would want the lead mayoral candidate dead, and why?

Here is a quote taken from our featured review:

After being accused of snooping, here is Suzanne's response:

"No," said Suzanne, "snooping is being nosy for amusement purposes only. Sleuthing is trying to connect clues to an actual crime."

Manga / Comics Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

2011-03-27T18:00:00.001-07:00

Hello loyal readers. I had a great time last weekend at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, also known as C2E2. I met a lot of great creators and had many books signed. I cosplayed with a friend as Heroes for Hire. It was a great experience. Of course, it would not be a true convention for me if I didn't buy a ton of books, which I did. I purchased around 117 comics, with most of them coming from the quarter and dollar bins. Here are the two most recent articles, I hope you all enjoy.

Collected Editions and Graphic Novels Introduction
Physical copies of comic book styled stories go beyond individual issues. This serves as a brief introduction.

Convention Tips for First Timers
Here are tips for first time convention attendees to handle that first weekend with less stress.

BellaOnline is an online educational site which focuses on helping new writers learn the skills necessary to thrive on the web. We look forward to hearing from you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Celebrate the Spring Equinox

Spring is a season of contrasts. The bleak edges of winter are gentling into a softer welcome. The crisp monochromatic spirals of a staircase become mirrored by the peach petals of a flower. A resting duck is reflected in the still waters of its pond. Life begins anew.

Poems echo the swift, darting nature of a hummingbird and catch vainly at fading memories scattering like crickets. Red geraniums and purple fragrance encourage us to drink deeply.

Fiction walks with a jilted bride constructing a new start and a widow releasing the relics of the past. A young woman contemplates being responsible for another woman's children.

Non-Fiction illuminates. A nicotine addict reveals her painful struggles. A visitor to Ghana discovers just how much there is to share with others. A young girl realizes the insidious power of a lie.

Dyan deNapoli shares the heartache and redemption of saving 40,000 penguins from a devastating oil spill. Learn what you can do to make a difference.
