Pages and Stardust: Finding Truth in Unlikely Places
http://pagesandstardust.blogspot.com/2012/03/finding-truth-in-unlikely-places.html
The musings of an agent intern and astrophysicist. Monday, March 26, 2012. Finding Truth in Unlikely Places. One of the best moments of any reading experience is finding that nugget of truth between the pages. Whether it be a truth about friendship, about fear, about love, or the color of a sidewalk after it rains, "truth moments" are unmistakable. The author captures that exact feeling or that specific look so perfectly that you experience a glitch in the matrix, you actually feel it or see it. I think ...

Pages and Stardust: A Great Counter Argument
http://pagesandstardust.blogspot.com/2012/02/great-counter-argument.html
The musings of an agent intern and astrophysicist. Monday, February 27, 2012. A Great Counter Argument. I just found this amazing counter argument to what I was talking about on Saturday. Granted, this is about comic books, but I think the main question is still relevant: When we use books as "testing grounds" for other mediums, does it devalue the books themselves? What do you guys think? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Some thoughts on JK Rowlings new book. 12/14/11 Ender'...

The musings of an agent intern and astrophysicist. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Why I love my e-reader. I have two e-readers. One is a secondhand kindle my dad gave me, and the other is an iPad I got for Christmas. At first when I was reading about all the hubbub about e-books I was a little skeptical. How could anything compare to the tactile joy of a new book, the smell of old pages, the feel of flipping through softly worn chapters? What about the painstakingly selected fonts, and the cloth hardcovers?

Pages and Stardust: April 2011
http://pagesandstardust.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The musings of an agent intern and astrophysicist. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. What I want to see more of in YA. This is a response to the lovely people of Paper Hangover. They usually do an interesting thing called Friday Fives, where everyone is invited to write a list of five things in response to their prompt. I thought this one was particularly fun, so even though it's not Friday, I thought I'd give it a shot:. Five things I want more of in YA:. 1 Parents. Seriously, where are they? Monday, April 25,...
