Hanging Around the Blogs: News & Reviews You May Have Missed (13)




Inspired by "Around the Blogs with Chuckles". There are never enough hours in the day to be a creeper on all the blogs and social media outlets so here's a recap of some great posts, articles and news tidbits you may have missed while you were out living your life.

 This week it's just a little news and some tidbits because I am a horrible blogger. Next week I'll do my best to link-up some of the favorite reviews I find around the web.

This Book Comes to Me on Tuesday!



Here's the  blurb:

Best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers real questions from kids about death, dead bodies, and decomposition.

Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. What would happen to an astronaut’s body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?

In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to thirty-five distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Readers will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend’s skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane. Beautifully illustrated by Dianné Ruz, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.

I ASK YOU, HOW COULD I NOT BUY THIS?!  

You can pre-order your copy now at Amazon.

New Bookstore Bar

The Bloggess is opening up an indie bookstore bar in San Antonio called "Nowhere Bookshop". I think we need these all over the country, haha. Let's hope she's super successful and starts a franchise! 

Recommended Horror Flicks

Ready or Not was a lot of gory fun.Samara Weaving does a beautiful job of portraying a bride on the run from her murderous in-laws! Five stars. You should also checkout her other excellent horror film The Babysitter.



Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was another fun movie but, for me at least, it felt too long. I found myself itching to get out of my seat towards the end. I'd give it a 4 but I'd wait for it on demand and watch it on Halloween.

That's all for now. Read some books, watch some bad films and have a relaxing weekend, everyone!

      We have two of them but neither are that great, IMO. You walk in and they completely ignore you :(

Author Feature: Hitting the Cons with Mark Cassell

Image
Today I welcome author Mark Cassell to talk a little bit about hitting the cons. I've never been to a convention but hope to change that one of these days. If you missed my review of Mark's newest work yesterday, Hell Cat of the Holt, please click here to check it out. Hitting the Cons  Over the last few years here in the UK, the comic convention scene has exploded. More venues around the country host them with some fantastic guests giving us the opportunity to meet our heroes, whether from our childhood or present-day. Plus it’s great to see the incredible effort people go to with their costumes, taking the experience of visiting a comicon to a more personal level. Walking the con with pride, these cosplayers become their heroes. Stalls vary from creative-minds to collectable shops. We have artists and authors like myself, prop builders and gamers, clothing and comics and everything between. All of this in a venue charged with an atmosphere impossible to imit...

It's Almost Friday! Awesome Author Alert

Image
How has your week been? Mine's been filled with lovely book surprises like this one in from author Megan Hart. I received an ARC for her latest book from Netgalley and they only sent me a partial book. What is up with that? So I did what I do and I wrote up a complainy   review for the partial book at GR. Megan Hart saw it, sent me a note via Twitter asking me if I'd like to read the whole thing and then she went and sent me all of the below books. How amazingly gracious is she? Especially considering the fact that my review wasn't so great. Look at all this goodness? I cannot wait to dig in after I finish up my review commitments. Where should I start?  I  won a GR Giveaway!  It's been YEARS! I didn't think winners still existed but they DO :)  Here's the proof: Patrick   Takes A Cue from My Latest Book Title   And My Latest Audio in for Revi ew Goes Out & About Has an author ever surprised you ...
