Ground Report – International Politics

REVIEWED BY: Ms. CairoMY RECOMMENDATION: YESAMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: Ground ReportWEB ADDRESS: http://www.groundreport.com/BLOG DESCRIPTION: Global news reporting and opinion from eyewitnesses.MY REVIEW: I’m not quite sure about this blog. Let’s just say it has political views I disagree with. (I’m all for the ban on burkas, and I wish a ban on the Muslim religion was not far behind. And I seriously doubt if Pat Tillman was murdered because he was about to become an anti-war icon!)So…check it out for yourself. Several writers contribute to the blog, from around the world, from their own viewpoint.Sample post:Is Europe reverting…

Baseball Blogs: Bleed Cubbie Blue

REVIEWED BY: Ms. CairoMY RECOMMENDATION: Yes, wth reservationsAMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: Bleed Cubbie BlueWEB ADDRESS: http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/BLOG DESCRIPTION: This blog is dedicated to the Chicago Cubs fan community and features game recaps, bleacher reconstruction news, and book reviews. All sides of being a Cubs fan are covered in this informative site. MY REVIEW: There is such a wealth of information fed by this blog to your Kindle, that at a cost of 99 cents a month to have it delivered, it’s not a bad deal, especially if you’re a diehard Chicago Cubs fan.Unfortunately, like most of the SportsBlog Nation blogs, many of the features available on the website…

Take your blood pressure medication!

Spent most of yesterday in the hospital, where my mother was admitted. Her doctor had changed her blood pressure medication a couple of weeks ago, it wasn’t doing the job. Unfortunately her doctor was out of town and a home therapist said we should take her to the Emergency Room.Bad idea, as far as I’m concerned. Put her back on her old medication which was working, just causing her to cough.Instead we brought her to the emergency room, and since she’s old and deaf, this got her more stressed out …

Is TV a better medium for book adaptations than movies are?

Is TV a better medium for book adaptations than movies are? I recently wrote about Amazon’s new Kindle Worlds program which creates an official bridge between rightsholders and fans who write fiction about movies, TV shows, books, videogames, and so on. I think it is a fascinating experiment, and I expect many rightsholders to participate. I’d love it if some older properties were included, and I think that will be possible. I did notice something about the first three “Worlds”: Pretty Little Liars The Vampire Diaries Gossip Girl (link not provided due to blocking text-to-speech access) Did you spot it? Sure, they have a lot in common…but these…

June 2013 Kindle book releases

June 2013 Kindle book releases While I don’t generally pre-order Kindle store books myself, I know many of you do. I understand the fun of just having the book show up, but I figure I’ll order when I want it…since I could have it within a minute, usually. May is a big month for books…it’s the unofficial start of summer, and just as we start to see the movie blockbusters, some of the books show up for that Memorial Day weekend as well. These aren’t necessarily the most popular of the pre-orders…I’m just going to list ones that catch my eye. Since we might not agree on that, here’s a link to the 3,093 (at time of writing) June releases in …
