I’ve discovered a new research tool that I’ve quickly beomce addicted to. Google’s Book Search. Now, they have some current books that have way too many “sample” pages online, IMO. That said, however, they also have a ton of out-of-print books from the 19th & early 20th Century that you can see the entire contents of. *swoon* Lots of lovely research material!!! And some of them are offered as PDF files, so you can download them! :whoo:

Busy night tonight on TV. Dancing with the Stars is on for two hours, then we also have Cities of the Underworld, Deal or No Deal, New Amsterdam, Ancient Discoveries, and much to my shock and delight a new episode of CSI: Miami!

Reading: Another Day, Another Dungeon by Greg Costikyan. It’s funny fantasy full of puns and Dungeons & Dragons-type references.

  1. Hubs found the Google Book Search thing a couple of weeks ago. Did you note how many Sci-Fi/Fantasy books they have versus how many Romances? Or even Mysteries.
    I can’t believe it, but I am looking forward to Dancing with the Stars. *g* And a new CSI:Miami! Can you believe it?!

    I hope you have a wonderful afternoon and evening!

  2. Haven’t tried Book Search, but may give it a go. Have fun researching!

    And, it’s SUNNY here. :jumping: Shocking, but true. Unfortunately, that doesn’t exactly translate into warm. It’s 38 degrees.
