Ah, feel that lovely, refreshing breeze wafting in through your Tuesday window? Not only is it bringing you the smell of Fall, it’s carrying with it another installment of the enchanting enigma tour which is Six Degrees of Kool Books. Last week Jenelle introduced us to the gut-busting, galaxy galavanting series The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by way of …
This month for my nightstand post I’m continuing with the theme of books I’ve already read along with those I’d hope to read at some point in the near future. I think I’ve read seven or eight books so far this year so that gives you an idea of how slow I am as a reader. But these …
The genre-jumping, world-hopping, mind-bending tour which is Six Degrees of Kool Books continues this week with yet another twist (if you’re new to this whole Six Degrees business, you can fill yourself in by reading this post).

Here we go once again with another Kool Book in the Six Degrees series. Last week, J.L. Mbewe wrote about the Atherton series. Though I have yet to read those books, it sounded like a fascinating series, blending elements of both science fiction and fantasy in a very unique world. One of the characters from …
I’ve already explained in this series of posts how I almost always use music from soundtracks to write to. And while that usually means movie soundtracks, such is not the case with this week’s song. I’d wager that at least some of the people reading this will have never heard the theme song from the …
I’m running through my playlist of the top five songs to write to and, as I mentioned before, it’s all songs from soundtracks and all instrumental songs at that. My number four song comes from a movie that is actually based on a book which I’ve reviewed and which I thoroughly enjoy and that is …
