There are so many cool lokking books this week and the screen play sounds cool too. <br /><br />Is it just me or when Julia Roberts did it, it was call Flatliners?

Same goes for Jeff Bridges the older he gets. He's just getting SO weird.<br /><br />Ben Barnes was very intense in Sons of Liberty on the History Channel. I liked his performance very much and he's WAY hot!<br /><br />BBC? FREAKIN' AWESOME! I will watch anything with BBC! (Just you wait.

It's a force, a measurable form of energy transference, or some sort of natural aspect of the matter around us. <br /><br />Magic is fantasy -- the touch of a dragon's scale, a capture of a unicorn's breath, runes with special power, rings and amulets with badass mojo, or a potion made from the tears of a faerie. All fun stuff and vastly entertaining, but not explainable through the interaction of real energy or matter.<br /><br />Really looking forward to the Kargrandes reveal!<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-27042844153931063382015-02-03T09:18:14.470-05:002015-02-03T09:18:14.470-05:00Enjoyed Dianne's article and I chuckled over h...Enjoyed Dianne's article and I chuckled over her thought that magic and theoretical physics will help an author out of plot holes.
