I've been looking for something for March. I might be starting a little late and will see how well I do, but this is great, thanks!!

I can't believe I forgot about Dana's birthday. This is a great selection of episodes. She's so bad-ass!

Oooh. This sounds like fun. You could do a genre-based theme. For example, you could do a sword 'n' sorcery month. The daily challenges could be badass wizard, best flying steed, worst cheesy cover, most awesome sword battle, best quest, etc. For epic fantasy, you could have "place I would live IRL," favorite made up species, best warrior, father-son bonding moment, etc.

Oooo I really liked Angelfall, and I'm glad to hear that you did too! I need to read the rest of the series; for some reason, I never kept going after reading the first book.
Great review! I like the organization, and it's cool that you can do a little "spoiler" link.

Re: How to Survive Comic Con… While Pregnant

No way but you are brave! I think the only thing I've done that was even remotely daring was going to a Journey concert while I was 5 months along. I got some dirty looks but my doctor was like it'll be okay. We were also pretty far in the back and I got to sit most of the time and it was an outdoor concert so the music wan't nearly as loud as a surround sound arena. Brave mama! Thanks for sharing this!!!

This is so amazing! I'm glad that you're still able to have fun without being uncomfortable. Also I love your layout to the blog the T-REX and nerdy glasses are so awesome.

Cool :D. It looks like a fun challenge. I'm definitely following you on Instagram, I'll do my best to complete the challenge :).

Re: Review: The City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin

I actually meant that just Alicia was punished by having her baby die after birth, not any of the other characters.

Re: Review: The City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin

I read the book and totally agree with your review, however I am puzzled by your statement that some of the female characters bore babies "by their own choice or not...and then have them die shortly after". Who beside Alicia are you referring?

Yes. Yes he is. <3 Thank you for this.

Re: Amanda’s Dueling Reading Challenges

Amanda — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 16:16:48 -0000

Thanks! I think this is a good pair since there's some crossover. And it tricks the brain into thinking there's an incentive beyond just reading more (though in the BR case, there's a prize). I forwarded the Read Harder challenge to my coworkers, but I'm not sure how many will be participating since only a few responded.

I sort of became addicted to challenges last year and ended up signing up for way too many this year - the new release challenge, the cloak & dagger challenge (which I co-host), what-an-animal challenge, my goodreads one and a horror reading challenge. Many of my reads hit several categories or I would be in trouble. Good luck with yours!

Re: The X-Files Revival Recap: 10×5, “Babylon”

It was really painful to watch. My secondhand embarrassment levels were really, really high.

Re: The X-Files Revival Recap: 10×5, “Babylon”

Kelsey — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 23:11:44 -0000

I feel the exact same way! I'm just going to pretend this episode doesn't exist because it was SO BAD. If I could throw this episode in the trash, I would.

Oh, I hope you're enjoying the series! It's such a rich world, and I love immersing myself in it.

Re: The Good Old Harry Potter Re-Read

Erin — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 12:57:25 -0000

I'm a big re-reader myself so I completely understand - returning to the distraction of a beloved series and revisiting characters you synch with can be a big help. Coincidentally, I'm reading the Harry Potter series right now for the first time. Just started the seventh book last night.

I still love all of your clintasha fanfics though. They help give me hope for Clintasha.

I broke up with almost all of Marvel comics when Avengers vs. X-Men hit. Yes, it sucked, but then like you said it was such a relief. Not to be subject to all the whims and marketing stunts anymore!

Re: I Broke Up With a Fandom

Pamela — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 22:17:02 -0000

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do with MCU. I loved the movies up to AoU, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to rewatch them without an attack of the bitter cranky fans. It just sucks when something you love so much goes sour on you. :(

Re: I Broke Up With a Fandom

Erin — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 21:38:30 -0000

Breakups suck :( I felt this way with the Moffat years of Dr. Who. At least I can look back fondly on it.

Re: Beauty Geek: May Ipsy Haul!

Pamela — Sat, 16 May 2015 17:16:13 -0000

Thanks for commenting! It's so hard to find a hair product that will keep my hair under control but not feel too heavy or gunky or oily. My hair sucks up moisture, so it's pretty bad when a product leaves it feeling oily. I liked this CC cream a lot, and even now, a couple of days after I washed and put it in, my hair still looks pretty good. I'm impressed.

Hi Pamela-- I saw your blog on female geek bloggers. I'm super impressed with the blog. I think the product I would most likely use is the hair product. My hair is naturally curly. It's very difficult to find a product to tame it.
