103,000 words = 215 letter-sized pages. Seems like it should add up to more, doesn’t it?

Teaser Tuesday 5/5/15: “The Line (Witching Savannah #1)”

~ James Viscosi ~ 2 Comments

So I did ultimately end up binning the book from last week’s Teaser Tuesday, and a couple of subsequent books as well that were pretty ho-hum from the start, but we finally have a winner: The Line (Witching Savannah #1), by J.D. Horn.

Not a Stargate.
Not a Stargate (or is it?)

Teaser Tuesday 4/28/15: “All Saints’ Secrets”

~ James Viscosi ~ Leave a comment

So at the moment I’m sort of between books — I’ve started and tossed three or four free books I got from BookBub that I didn’t care for. I just started one now called All Saints’ Secrets, by Nichole Loughan. I’m still not far enough into it to know if I’m going to continue reading (my Kindle says 4%, which is not very many pages in on a 145-page book), and I got it so long ago that I don’t even remember what it’s about, but I do know I like the cover:

Don't blink.

Not A Review Of “Léon: The Professional“

~ James Viscosi ~ 6 Comments

So having recently achieved an unexpectedly positive response to the Luc Besson film “Lucy” — my wife stayed awake for fully 45 minutes! — I decided to bump up another Besson film that had been languishing for a while towards the bottom of the queue:  “Léon: The Professional“.

"Why yes, I do have the coolest shades ever. Thanks for asking."

Fifty Shades Of Psycho

~ James Viscosi ~ 1 Comment

Wife (watching “Fifty Shades of Grey” trailer after reading humorous Dave Barry article about it): “This looks terrible.”

Me: “Let me see.”
(takes laptop to watch trailer)

Me: “Yeah, it does look terrible.”
(stops video, surreptitiously starts “American Psycho” trailer instead)

Me: “Here, you can have it back.”
(returns laptop to wife with “American Psycho” trailer playing)

Wife (puzzled): “Wait, is this the same movie?”

Me: “More or less.”

Not A Review Of “Lucy”

~ James Viscosi ~ 6 Comments

So a month or so ago, we saw “Lucy“, an action film in which the titular character, played by Scarlett Johansson, accidentally receives an overdose of a new illegal psychotropic drug, develops superpowers, and kicks epic amount of gangster ass. Or so it would seem from the trailer, would it not?

I went in expecting something along the lines of “The Matrix: Black Widow”, but as it turns out, the trailer pretty much showcases every action scene in the entire movie. Is that bad? Let’s ask my wife.

Not to worry, everyone. I got my proofs back from the person who borrowed them, and they’re now on the shelf along with my other books and various sundries.*

My friend Randy used to say that I signed so many books for people, it was the ones that weren’t signed that would be worth something someday. Apparently he was right!

 

The Other One

From the “Just Too Late To Make It Into The Tuesday Post” Department:

"Ravels", Now In Paperback
“Ravels”, Now Available In Paperback From Amazon

I actually do have a final CreateSpace proof of Ravels that I had planned to take a picture of, but I brought both proofs into the studio the other day to show our instructor. A fellow student asked to borrow and read them, so of course I handed them over …
