The New STAR TREK Movie is Mine!

If ya'll remember, I was too busy giving birth to watch it in theaters.  Now do you realize the sacrifices parents sometimes have to make for their children?????  It's out on DVD this week.

It's not labeled Young Adult, but I think you'll like it.  Oh, and they're not zombies, they're XOMBIES.  'Kay?  It's Science Fiction.

New, okay, Morphed Review Blog

My good review buddy, Tia, has morphed her Fantasy Debut blog into 'Debuts & Reviews.'  I thought you all might be interested because she's expanding beyond the Fantasy genre and debuts.

Blog Renovations

Good morning, YA SciFi Geniusus!

Well, I had my beautiful baby girl, otherwise known in the Blogosphere as Lil Bean. http://enduringromance.blogspot.com/2009/07/welcome-to-this-wonderful-world-lil.html I'm getting back into my groove here. The great thing about being forty years old is I know what makes me happy now - books and babies. I've had all my babies and now I have to reorganize my schedule to accomadate books too. As part of that, I'm folding the most important aspect of this blog - the book reviews - into my main book review blog, Enduring Romance.

.

And so books of interest to my younger friends will be reviewed on the Fourth Thursday of Every Month at http://enduringromance.blogspot.com/ Although I will review a variety of genres, there will always be a strong preference for anything Science Fiction flavored. It's just SciFi is so much harder to find for you all. (((sigh))) But, I shall continue to do my level-best.

.

Therefore, this blog is now 'read-only,' although I will post notices when I review YA SciFi at Enduring Romance.' We accumulated a lot of good stuff in the few short months it was in full operation, so do take time to look around if you're new here.

Have a Trekkie Summer!

Good morning, YA SciFi Geniuses!
I'm signing off for the summer now because I have a baby to make and that's a lot of work.
.
If you get bored, I'd really appreciate if you'd invent a Fetal Transport Unit for me, like the one the Doctor used to deliver Naomi Wildman on Star Trek Voyager. While you're at it, a replicator would be nice too..
.
Live long and prosper.

It's Their Kid, Sheesh!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/swedenoffbeat This article's about a Swedish couple who are fighting for the right to name their son "Q." Well, you know how I feel about parental rights and the right of individuality. When the state can dictate what you can and can't name your own child, good grief. Besides, as a Trekkie, I think 'Q' is perfect.

A STAR TREK movie review

Good evening, YA SciFi Geniuses! Yep, I'm still around, just beached and severely limited in what I can do until after I recover from giving birth. Anyway, remember how worried I was about the new STAR TREK movie? Doing a remake of such an iconic Science Fiction show was a tall order I feared no human could hope to accomplish. I mean, good grief, just think of all the real life scientists and technology inspired by the original t.v. series, like Dr. Mae Jemeson, the first African American woman in space, and those doors which slide open for you at the grocery store.
.

However, my good Blog Buddy, Tia, over at the Fantasy Debut has seen it and is sufficiently impressed, which makes me want to go. My husband is also reassured by initial reviews. We have to wait until after my doctor's appointment tomorrow. I might get put on medical bedrest and then it'll have to wait. Thankfully, there's a theater in Anchorage which runs movies that have already left all the other theaters, so there's a good chance I'll still get to see it in all that wonderful movie house magic.

Here's the link to Tia's review- http://fantasydebut.blogspot.com/2009/05/movie-review-star-trek.html Isn't the new Mr. Sulu hot? Of course, I always thought the first one was too.
