All and Sundry (and Your Favorite Poll)
Hi Squiders! We’ve almost run out of March already. How does that always seem to happen? (We got a ton of snow yesterday, and our power’s been flickering on and off all day, which is very annoying, especially when one
Readalong: Dream Thief by Stephen R. Lawhead
The title looked really barren for a second, and then I remembered that this was our first standalone readalong, so I normally have the series title as well. Anyway! It’s the 18th! Let’s get to it. First, the basics. Dream Thief is
Library Book Sale Finds: The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis

Fun Scifi Tropes: Alternate Universes
Alas, Squiders, today we come to the end of our scifi trope series, and we end with alternate universes, which are a personal favorite of mine (which seems to be a trend). WordPress handily keeps track of blog posts I’ve
Fun Scifi Tropes: Time Travel
Time travel! My other trope-y love. I have been known to pick up media based solely on the fact that they included time travel even if all other signs pointed to the whole idea being terrible. But there’s so many
Fun Scifi Tropes: Faster-than-Light Travel
Oh, squiders. I love Faster-than-Light (FTL) travel. I love it a lot. It opens up the universe for exploration, gives us the chance to meet new species every week and touch down on a new planet. Of course, it also
