Grafedia
July 25th, 2005 |Whoa. I am surprised I haven’t come across Grafedia till now. But then again, I have not seen any graffiti with blue writing and an underline to indicate it’s a “link.” It’s like a Web treasure hunt for mobile phones and handheld devices.

The Dance of Fear
July 25th, 2005 |The Dance of Fear is the book formerly known as Fear and Other Uninvited Guests.

More Reading Lists
July 18th, 2005 |Only 100 pages left in Harry 6. Thank goodness, I made an effort to read as much as I could this weekend considering a kid blurted out critical information to Paul. Glad I wasn’t there. Poor Paul. The last book he probably read was Harry 5. Nonetheless, he’s enjoying the read. Why didn’t I finish [...]
