Dragon*Con, Stardust Movie

Getting more excited about heading to Dragon*Con at the end of the month. I have decided on a costume and will be making it this weekend. I am not going to give it away, but I will post pictures of it later. I will be seeing a lot of authors while there (not to mention all your favorite sci-fi actors and actresses) and I can't wait. I am already planning on bringing my copy of KITTY AND THE MIDNIGHT HOUR by Carrie Vaughn as well as copies of the Myth books from Robert Asprin.

Recently, I wrote a post about forcible sex in books and I mistakenly claimed a book by Sandra Brown contained one of those scenes. BITTERSWEET RAIN is actually one of my favorites of hers and I was mortified to discover I had given the wrong title. My mistake was pointed out by a reader and I appreciate the notice. I think the book I was thinking of was IN A CLASS BY ITSELF. However, I apologize if my memory is still faulty.

I saw Stardust this weekend, based on the book by Neil Gaiman. I have been a Neil Gaiman fan for some time (try AMERICAN GODS, especially if you like the old Greek, Roman and Norse myths), but I had not read STARDUST. I liked the movie, especially once I realized the Star was Claire Danes, not Gwyneth Paltrow as I first thought (not a fan of Ms. Paltrow's). It was cute and more original than many other movies out right now. Why is it that all the best and most "original" movies are based on books?

Suggestions? Leave me a comment!
