The last two weeks were the Weeks of Big Fat Flying Ships! http://claudiea.blogspot.com/2011/05/we ... ships.html There is a trend in what I'm reading these days.

I'm doing lists!

Top 15 Horror movies - http://tedacross.blogspot.com/2011/05/t ... licks.html

Top Ten Sci-Fi movies - http://tedacross.blogspot.com/2011/05/t ... ovels.html

Top Fantasy movies - http://tedacross.blogspot.com/2011/05/t ... ovies.html

Nice list, Ted. By the way, I have an off topic question; Are you really in Budapest? That's my beauty hometown. If yes; Welcome! Enjoy your stay! :)

BTW Claudie - I can't post comments on your blog. Right now your blog is the only one giving me problems but for whatever reason it isn't accepting my google login and wont' post my comments. Stupid blogger.

Story time!

10 Cities Where Readers and Runners Live in Harmony

Last week we talked about Amazon's list of the 20 most well-read cities in America. This week, the American College of Sports Medicine released a list of the 50 fittest cities. (Spoiler Alert: Minneapolis-St. Paul is #1.)

Since I know a lot of you are both readers and runners, I created a super-secret formula to rank the ten cities that best combine reading and fitness. Find the list at the link below...

I had a very busy blogging day...

On my writing blog, there's a post on the final confrontation (part 6 of 7 in a series on story structure). Ignore the fact that the link says part 5. Someone was up veeery late last night.:

Today's another discussion, this time focusing on the characteristics of hell. How do you prefer the underworld to be portrayed in books? Is it the old fire-and-brimstone hell, or do you favor a more urban, dystopian version? Read more at http://harbingercodex.blogspot.com/2011 ... ation.html
