    "Wings" to be a movie

    An underage role model/idol for children and tweens appearing in and performing consistently more sexually charged and "adult" actions strikes a chord with me, among others.

    "Wings" to be a movie

    Has anyone read "Wings" by Aprilynne Pike? I quite enjoyed it; it only came out in the Spring, but it has already been greenlit as a movie starring Miley Cyrus. Thoughts on the movie in general, or it's new controversial star?

    Gangland on the history channel

    yeah it was MS-13....A Salvadoran gang originally. I knew a prominent "character" on the Satan's Disciples (Chicago) episode. Weird stuff.

    Bbc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was going to start a new thread about this but I came across this board :) I was wondering what are some good BBC or overseas shows and how can I get them (preferably not through streaming websites, etc.) Do they release DVDs Stateside of a lot of these shows? Any input would be appreciated!

    Who's your favorite FEMALE fantasy/sf writer?

    Pretty self-explanatory....I think I've found a new favorite in Jan Bozarth, but Juliet Marillier has been a favorite for a while. Anyone else?

    Your favorite fantasy series

    I'm kind of limited to what I can try to enjoy with my kids, but I really like Michael Scott's Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, and I just started reading The Fairy Godmother Academy series with my daughter...it's good so far!

    The first sentence in the book you're reading

    "The train sped along, the wheels on the tracks whispering a humming rhythm...Shh-shh, shh-shh, shh-shh, shh-shh...as if they were telling all of uspassengers to go to sleep, go to sleep." From Jan Bozarth's Fairy Godmother Academy.

    Creating the reading habits in children

    The good news is some publishers (especially dealing in youth literature) are beginning to offer interactive webplay, etc. to not only drum up support for their brands but also to try to hook kids into the world of the book before publication, thus encouraging reading the books once they're...

    Charged with felonies: K.P. Bath - Castle Cant series author

    Yet another reason author's headshots should be featured prominently on the inside cover of every book. What a creepo!

    I would have to say "Fletch" by Gregory MacDonald.

    Read a book to your children!

    Thanks for your openness and input. I wish I could relate to your hardships, but I can second that reading with your children and family is a great way to establish, maintain and further build healthy relationships with your family and children. As the kids ship off to school, you begin to...

    Michael Scott: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

    Have you ever played around on their game website? It's pretty neat, you oughta try it out. :)

    Michael Scott: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

    Yeah I've read the first three and really liked them all, although I'd like to see Josh and Sophie mature a little bit, they are still so whiney and picky at times. The first one is becoming a movie, you might like to know.

    The Next Movie?

    As we all well know, truth is indeed stranger than fiction, and some great films have been made of great books about some great but WEIRD stuff....so, I wanted to open up a speculation/rumor/news/wish list thread about what great non-fiction could be coming to the big screen soon. I'm pretty...

    I've heard this, too. Even his brothers have reputed a lot of the first book's content.

    Stephenie Meyer: Twilight & New Moon

    So where are the worthwhile role models in young adult fantasy? Bella needs to be usurped immediately.

    Stephenie Meyer: Twilight & New Moon

    The worst is that if Bella wasn't a complete idiot, she would never be in much danger to begin with....wondering into the woods (where she knows all kinds of weird things happen) with strange men, coming moments away from committing suicide...it's one thing for a man to swoop in and save the...

    Ambrose Bierce: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

    I am exactly the same way. We read some lame abridged version in grade school that didn't do it for me, then rediscovered it years later. Great story with a great ending.
