Announcements, thoughts, reviews... I can be reached at PamT.reviews@gmail.com
Just so you know... every once in a while we are fortunate enough to receive Review Copies. (Like for free! W00t!) We never receive cash -- darn it -- or anything commiserate with 'payola'.
Now what this DOES NOT mean is that we give books/products positive reviews just because we didn't get them at the library. We don't. In fact, we receive books/and products that we despise, and if you look at our Amazon reviews you'll find them diss'd there.
You won't find disparaging reviews here to often because our aim is to point out the "Good Stuff".
Special Note: We link to sites where you can buy the books we recommend-- and where you can read other reviews. We use the proceeds of any sales to pay for the small overhead costs of hosting this blog.
I want to thank Anthony F. Lewis at The Idle Mind for bringing my attention to this fascinating video. As you can see this bird has claws at the end of it's little wings. I think the video illustrates what's possible for such features on more ancient birds -- see the lovely pic to above.
