About Me:
I'm a book addict. I love to read so you might say it is not only my hobby but my obsession. I read every genre, though I prefer urban fantasy, fantasy, paranormal, action adventure, YA, and science fiction. I also read lots of non-fiction dealing with philosopies, religion, other cultures, languages, history and science. I have a few blogs that feature books. One at shartyrant.livejournal.com and the other at www.shartyrant2.blogspot.com. Feel free to read and comment or join in!

status update: what I am currently reading

x-posted from my livejournal:


In book news of what I have been up to: Reading an e-book by the name of Logan Wolf Chronicles book1 STORM OF MAGICK (horror) by L.A. Burton.

My husband also bought me the first three Planetary graphic novels by Warren Ellis. I have some of the "floppie comics" of it, but missed a few issues and later dropped it due to the irregular schedule of publishing it. Figured I catch up with it later. Since the last issue is due out next week, it was a good time to get it… Continue

Hi Shartyrant, I want to introduce you to you my debut novel "A Circle of souls" which is a murder, mystery, psychological thriller and a tale of justice and hope. I was wondering if you would like to review my book for your blog or sites such as Amazon. Do visit www.acircleofsouls.com to read more about the book. If you would like to read it I can mail an advance readers copy to you. Thanks for your time in advance.

Best regards

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

Book Synopsis:

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

Hi,

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or review it). If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:

Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.

If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Thanks so much,
Chris

I found Good Omens through browsing through library stacks, which is how I find a lot of great books, although lately I've been hearing about them through posts on www.LibraryThing.com, where I am Storeetllr. If you haven't tried LT yet, it's a great website for lovers of books.

That's awesome that you got Black Magic Woman in time to tide you over till you can get to the library/bookstores! Did you like it?
So far, so good with the laptop, so I'm hoping that the "three times" sent back to the techs was it! LOL

Hmmm, I never noticed that problem on Amazon! I've posted reviews for books that I haven't bought from them on both the Amazon.com and Amazon.ca websites. I usually am on Chapters.ca as it's the main big bookstore here in Canada and I'm in the "community" there. That sucks that you're having problems. Did you change the "status" of the book to "I Own It" instead of having it listed in a wishlist or recommendations? That's the only thing I can think of.

Love love love your image! It is exactly how good books make me feel too! (BTW, Good Omens is one of my favorite books too!)

Hi Shar! Good to see you here. I hope you and the husband are both feeling better. :)
