Book Review – “Sky’s End: Book One in the Cassiel Winters Series” by Lesley Young
Sky’s End is an engaging and stimulating point of view of the intergalactic frontier sprinkled with a dash of mystery, intrigue, and romance. As a fan of the sci-fi genre, I was more than a little intrigued given the fact the book is written by a woman. Most of the sci-fi I’ve read has been written from a male perspective. And the romance aspect of Sky’s End also fascinated me.

Cheeseburgers! Recap: Castle – “Number One Fan”
Tonight’s episode of Castle steers away from the norm and creatively blossoms during our favorite hour-long ABC drama. I particularly love the new directions creator Andrew W.

Only good and happy ones though, AWM…don’t go breaking up Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) or I might have to murder someone myself! There are just so many things to fall in love with during tonight’s episode, “Number One Fan.”
