| Death Troopers |
Halloween is just around the corner and my costume isn't completed yet. Jyg and I are doing a theme again. Last year was gothic Wizard of Oz
, so this year we decided to darken up another childhood favorite - Little Red Riding Hood
. Before you ask, I'm not going to be the big bad wolf. Instead, I'm the woodsman post wolf-slaying.

My mind is off somewhere else. Right now I'm browsing the bookstore, even though I'm sitting at desk. James Franco's collection of short stories, Palo Alto
, was released earlier this month while the rather dark Star Wars novel, Death Troopers
, was released in mass market paperback just yesterday. I actually went looking for Death Troopers yesterday while I was at work. The HEB Plus - a local chain of grocery stores - housed a rather large (compared to other HEBs in the area) book section. Sadly, the book wasn't on the shelves.

I actually went looking for Death Troopers yesterday while I was at work. The HEB Plus - a local chain of grocery stores - housed a rather large (compared to other HEBs in the area) book section. Sadly, the book wasn't on the shelves. I'll probably put off purchasing Pablo Alto - which is getting quite a few bad reviews on Amazon - until it hits the discount table at Barnes & Noble, or a used copy appears at a reasonable price online. And unless I'm planning to find a hardcover version, I'll just buy Death Troopers at Barnes later this week (whenever I get some me time).
At another HEB Plus - this one in San Juan - I saw a young girl wearing a black The Hunger Games
shirt. It was the first time outside of Twilight
and Harry Potter
that I've seen someone wear a shirt inspired by a book. Sad thing is, the latter two are usually on people closer to my age than that of the intended audience. And like most fans of the trilogy, I'm waiting patiently for the film release. As you may all know (unless you don't read anything online) Lionsgate - you know, the studio that's brought you such classics as the Saw
flicks - has acquired the rights to the film. And that's about all the news there is. Several female stars have show interest in the screenplay - also written by Suzanne Collins - including Skins
star Kaya Scodelario and Kick Ass
and Let Me In (an adaptation of the novel Let the Right One In
, which is also the basis of the Swedish film
of the same title) starlet, Chloe Moretz.
And if you're a fan of the first book, maybe you should check out Hunger Games (the unofficial score).
And finally, one last thing before I go. Atriad Press is looking for nonfiction submissions of books about Texas. If you're a Texan writer of nonfiction, maybe you should think about this press. Who knows. I might just pick it up and whore it out here. Well, if it's good.
Until next time, keep on huntin'.
