Reviews:
Kirsten read Deadline by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire) and said it was
awesome. She says it's a wonderful continuation from Feed.
Diane read Bards of Bone Plain by Patricia McKillip and said it was wonderful.
She also read Dragonholder by Todd Johnson and said it's wonderful fluff.
Andy said that the Doctor Who season break episode is worth watching on
Saturday night. Ken followed on that it felt more like filler.
Dave C. said that Dead Travel Fast by Ken Newman is worth full price.
Ken said the Retrodome had a Mary Poppins singalong and he & Jeri went as
Tuppence. Next up: Grease.
Fred said Internet Archives is scanning as much traditional print stuff as
possible. They're releasing public domain stuff immediately and holding back on
copyrighted material. They're storing the books.
We did auctions.
Rumor of the Week:
"That's one more thing for the list of 100 things that SyFy's not allowed to do.
