Interview with Eric McLuhan on the Laws of Media
This is an important interview with Dr. Eric McLuhan on the background, circumstances and evolution of The Laws of Media. He also explains his current publishing projects and forthcoming publications. This is essential reading for all media ecologists and anyone interested in the work of Eric's father, Marshall McLuhan. I have only included a portion of the article here. Follow the link at bottom to its source.
Media Ecology, the Toronto School of Communication, Canadian Communication Studies, McLuhan studies – is there a difference among these terms? If so, where do you place yourself?
Of course there's a difference. The "Toronto School" is completely ersatz, invented decades after the fact as a sort of attempt at branding what a few Canadians have tried to do by way of studying the effects of media. There are three or four main figures, including Innis and McLuhan. Those two barely met once or twice. McLuhan got interested in Innis when he learned that Innis was using the Mechanical Bride in his classes. He then read Innis's work on the fur trade and the cod fisheries and both Empire and Communications and The Bias of Communication, and found them absorbing and useful in furthering his own work. But he and Innis never collaborated on anything or had deep conversations, so there is little to justify the name of a "Toronto School." The people involved were working on their own.
Media Ecology is a term I invented when we were at Fordham. I discussed it with Postman and he ran with it.
I suppose if I have a place in this it is as my father's son and heir. I am continuing the work he began and we furthered together. I have a few new things of my own, to put it mildly, but they are not the same as his any more than I am the same as he.
You have written and edited a great number of books throughout your prolific academic career, but in my opinion Laws of Media: The New Science remains your masterpiece. I read it twice: first as an undergrad, then as an MA student as I was working on my thesis at Simon Fraser University. Though presented as a recapitulation of the gestation of Marshall McLuhan's thought, which culminates in the tetrads, the book, which appeared posthumously, also distinguished you from you father. Indeed, the beginning of the book seems very McLuhanesque, at times incomprehensible, but by the time you get to page 93, it suddenly becomes surprisingly clear and concise, less poetic and more scientific. I think overall it proves to be a much more accessible volume than Understanding Media, which relied heavily on "probes" and aphorisms as a vehicle for provocation, almost as a device to blow things out of proportion in order to bring them back into focus. I'm wondering how much of the book was written by you and how much of it was written by your father…
Ahh, well there's a question! Nobody has asked me that before. I left my father's employ in the mid-70s to spend two years in graduate school. Newly-wed, with a baby daughter, we had daughter number two while we — my wife and I — were there. As soon as I got back we resumed work on the project to revise Understanding Media. McGraw had asked for a tenth-anniversary revision and rejected what we sent them. We had found the four laws and were going to use them as revisions, plus add a dozen or so new chapters to incorporate media that had appeared since 1964—cable TV, satellites, videotape, etc. After McGraw turned the revisions down we began thinking about a new book. We put together three separate pieces for the job. One was a long, shapeless piece that we had been working on, which we called the Visual Space Essay. My father had been talking and writing about visual space, and acoustic space (and other-sensory spaces), for some time. He'd let slip a new observation from time to time and they were beginning to accumulate, but he had never set the ideas out in any sort of systematic fashion, so we determined to gather all that we had learned and put it together. That was the genesis of the Essay. From time to time we would pass a copy to a friend or colleague for comment, and after Dad's death, from time to time, a piece of it would appear in the writings of one or another of those colleagues, without credit, I may add. A bit of homework will supply names…
A second piece of the mosaic that became Laws of Media: The New Science was another essay that we were writing as a result of excitement over the new studies of the two hemispheres of the brain that were just then breaking news. This became chapter two.
A third piece was of course the four new Laws. We had by this time well over a hundred examples. So we drafted an introductory essay (chapter three as it turned out) and used the laws themselves as the fourth chapter.
Converting the Visual Space Essay into chapter one was a job. By the time we decided to integrate it into the new manuscript, it had reached well over 135 pages and was still growing. We had to stop adding things and cut at least a quarter. We had decided to keep to the two kinds of space as they made — as always — a handy contrast that caught the reader's imagination easily. We might have included other spaces, but didn't, to keep matters simple. I must apologize for the painful style. I was fresh back from graduate school and so it reads like a long graduate essay, which in a way it was. Mea culpa. A good deal of it comes from a loooong paper I wrote (the sort that is never finished) on tracking the history of the logos.
When I took the final MSS to U of T Press, the editor assigned to it was R.I.K. Davidson, the man who had edited The Gutenberg Galaxy. Who could possibly have been better? RIK decided to rearrange the order of sections in Chapter One: the result was printed. The Press also decided to chuck about half of the tetrads that we had in Chapter Four in order to save space. (Now and then I print a few in this mag or that.)
As to who wrote what. The easiest way to answer that is to say that Dad & I worked together over every sentence, though I did most of the actual writing. We would get together in the study on the top floor of Wychwood Park and begin composing aloud. I would do the writing-down during these sessions at the time, not afterward at home (as Barry Nevitt did with Take Today), and read them back and we'd edit on the fly. Handwriting. Then I'd take the MSS home and type it up on my old IBM model B. We did that for months. So I can claim that those parts of the book were 50-50 in the writing. Naturally, Dad had enormous erudition to bring to bear, and so he was responsible for that much more of it.
The final chapter we saw at the time as more of a post-face; it consisted of three or four pages of sketchy prose, when he died. We sent the incomplete MSS around to several publishers. Doubleday was one of them. They took it seriously enough to assign an artist to make sketches for it, and he did do so. I had also asked a former student, Dean Motter, to make a few, and he did so.

The Boss of Me
Eight Things to Factor in When Considering Self-Employment
Page 2
by Tom Wolfe, Career Coach and Contributing Editor
Share |
Epes Transport System, Postal Connections
Return to September/October 2014 Issue
Return to Page 1 of the article
7. Preparation
Although your management expertise may be impressive in the areas of personnel, administration and material resources, you probably have little or no direct business management experience. You're used to the bottom line called "readiness" or "war fighting," but you will succeed or fail in business based on a bottom line called "profit?" Do you know how to write a business plan, specifically one that will pass muster with a lending officer or a franchisor? Have you taken an accounting course? You may need professional guidance from accountants and lawyers. Are those fees in your budget?
8. Paychecks
How much will you make? When you work for yourself, you pay yourself last. Pay your overhead, service your debt, pay your employees, and give the federal, state, and local government their shares, and you get anything that remains.
Considering all of the above, why do people choose self-employment? Independence, self-determination, the lifestyle associated with picking where you want to live or perhaps working out of your home, the possibility of earning a living by doing something about which you are passionate - these are just a few of the reasons. In addition to weighing these pluses and minuses, you should also consider your current status - back to the Army Major I mentioned earlier.
He will soon retire with 22 years of service and receive a monthly pension. He and his wife are empty nesters now that their two children are no longer living at home. She has a degree in accounting and has worked outside the home throughout his career, mostly in retail sales and as an accounts payable/receivable clerk. Other than a small credit card balance and a car loan, they are debt-free. They have been able to save some money and maintain an excellent credit rating. In addition to being a self-proclaimed "motor head," he spent most of his career, both enlisted and officer time, in vehicle maintenance. This supports his interest in either opening a truck maintenance facility or becoming a franchisee for Jiffy Lube, Express Lube or AAMCO. His situation appears perfect for the self-employment option. How does yours compare?
Although I dedicate a chapter of my book, Out of Uniform, to this subject, I recommend you gather additional information and guidance as well. In addition to the resources I have listed below, do yourself a favor - get out in the field and talk to franchise operators, especially those who also happen to be veterans. Where to start? That's easy - just take a look at the companies that are featured or that advertise in this issue of MTN. They already understand veterans and their circumstances.

Today was my (last!) first day of college classes! After being with the kids for their first week last week it was hard not to be in the classroom with them, but so far my classes have been good. Since I brought up the first week, I want to talk about it a little bit more. 🙂 It. was. AWESOME! Now I want to be one of those students fresh out of college that has a preference for middle school jobs. I just love it that much. I also really, really hope that I find a job after I graduate, so I don't want to be too picky. We'll see how that goes, but for now I am going to enjoy every moment of being in 6th grade. I had so much fun meeting the students, helping them with their lockers and schedules, and getting to know them through some first day activities. This Friday the student council is having a lock-in at the school and I'm excited to meet some of the 6th graders (and 7th and 8th graders) that aren't in our classes or grade.
And on to the next exciting part of my week last week….my first SLANT box reveal! Yay! I was so excited when I got home after school and found the package key in our mailbox. I wasn't expecting anything other than the SLANT box, so I knew that had to be it!
Elizabeth over at Hootin' n Hollerin' in 4th Grade was the lovely teacher that mailed me my SLANT box and I mailed Amanda from Sweeties in Second her SLANT box. If you'd like to see what I sent to Amanda, you can check that out here. Here are all the goodies I got from Elizabeth!
Since I love hedgehogs she made me the adorable green/brown poster that is standing up in the back. I want to find a frame for it so I can hang it in my work area at home. There are two green containers because I love green and you can never have enough containers, right? Next to the containers is an insulated cup with a straw so I can make sure my water stays cold at school. The apple post-its are something she gave me with the idea of using them to leave little notes between my cooperating teacher and I which is something she did with her student teacher. I love the idea!
There is also a roll of tropical/floral duck tape that she got for me because it reminded her of Hawaii since I'm getting married in Hawaii. I used it to "beautify" this plain clipboard that I bought. I love how it turned out! Now every time I use my clipboard I will think of Hawaii and Elizabeth. 🙂
Another great thing that she gave me, that I didn't even know existed, is the Reward Message Tape. I think this will be a great way to leave little encouragements to my students. It's also fun to think that Elizabeth bought one for herself, so we'll both be using them in our classrooms!
She also shared this instructable on how to make these Hedgehog Donut Holes. They look easy enough to make, so I think I'll make them for my team of teachers for one of our treat days on a Friday and maybe even for my students. I might have to recruit some helpers if I make them for my students since we see close to 100 students in literacy.
The last thing she shared was this adorable inspirational video. It should bring a smile to your face. 🙂
If you haven't heard of the SLANT box you should definitely check it out. You sign up to 'meet' another teacher, learn more about them, and then send them a fun package. You get paired up with another teacher that learns more about you and then they send you a fun package. It is open to any teacher, pre-service teacher, etc. and you do NOT have to blog to join in! You can read more about it at Jameson's blog, Lessons with Coffee. The August SLANT box sign-up is closed, but the September SLANT box sign-up is open!! September's theme is "OH MY GOD, I FORGOT (blank)!"

On Stage: CTOC Presents A New Twist On Cinderella's Tale
Chances are you know the story of Cinderella. A girl who loses her mother at a young age and is forced to live with a cruel stepmother and her evil daughters.
All of that is still true in the Children's Theatre of Charleston show "Cinderella's Glass Slipper." But with new characters including a brave mouse, a hesitant cat and the magical Pumpkinhead who changes into a beautiful coach, this musical version tells the fable with some delightful twists and turns.
": "This version of 'Cinderella,' it takes the classic Disney 'Cinderella' and it adds some fun music and some little twists," Rachel Couch (Cinderella) said. "'Cinderella' is still her genuine and charming self and she's surrounded by all these crazy people. So, it's pretty close to the classic, it's a family favorite."
The musical features the songs of Bill Francoeur, and include the prologue "Once Upon A Time," the stepsisters' "Ladies Of Fashion" and Cinderella's hopeful "Dream Of Tomorrow."
'I think that because it is something that's so well known it hasn't been very difficult for all of us to really embody our characters," Grace Abdalla (Queen) said. "And of course we have so much fun doing it. So I think it's been very quite easy for all of us to very much adapt and get into our characters."
Directed by CTOC veteran Debbie Haught, accompanied by longtime Music Director Mark Scarpelli, "Cinderella's Glass Slipper" manages to present all of the story beats you expect from the tale without repeating previous versions scene by scene.
"'Cinderella' is a very popular story but each script that is out there has a different take on it," Timmy Walker (Major Domo) said. "So, we have to make it our own. We have to take the characters and analyze them and make them how we think they should be."

Monroe's STEM+A fair
Published:2016-04-06 School
Monroe's STEM+A fair
Showing off her "tornado in a bottle" experiment, Maltby Elementary fourth grader Lilly Parker was one of hundreds of students presenting their science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) and art (A) learning at Monroe Public Schools' annual STEM+A Learning EXPO this week.
Our region is rich in STEM jobs and Washington state ranks #1 in those jobs but only 49th in developing individuals to fill those jobs. Monroe Public Schools is committed to developing STEM+A-literate graduates and this EXPO is one of the many ways used to reach that goal.
Elementary and middle school students demonstrated their STEM+A literacy with a wide variety of projects which visitors were invited to view and quiz the creators about.
Several school music, both instrumental and vocal, and dance groups performed. In addition, high school students were on hand to share opportunities for future learning through courses in math, science and Career & Technical programs available to Monroe Public Schools' students.

IMPHAL, Apr 23: President of India Pranab Mukherjee today unveiled a newly cons-tructed monument of the Khongjom War Memorial complex at Khebaching in the presence of the Governor and the Chief Minister of the State as part of Khongjom War Day.
Pranab Mukherjee who attended the inaugural function as the chief guest wished the people of the State all happiness and development in years to come.
Remembering the 1891 Khongjom War, the President narrated a bit of history on what happened on this historic day of April 23, 1891. He added that the British attacked Manipur from three different sides — Tamu of Myanmar, Cachar and Kohima. Even though the battle was a happy ending for the British, it was a proud battle for the Manipuris as they showed courage and bravery.
The brave forefathers gave "their today for our tomorrow." Comparing to other States of India, Manipur received her independence within a minimum period of time. Acknowledging the rich culture of the State, its scenic beauty, pluralism of religion and acceptance of universal love, the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru expressed Manipur as Jewel of India, the President added.
Commenting on the monument erected in memory of the brave sons of Manipur who laid down their lives for freedom, the President stated that the place has become a pilgrimage not only for the people of Manipur but also for the rest of India.
Further he urged the people of Manipur to pledge to re-dedicate themselves to uphold the unity and integrity of the homeland, the cause for which the martyrs of Khongjom laid down their lives.
It may be mentioned that CorCom of several militant organisations of the State had boycotted the visit of President Pranab Mukherjee.

The Woman Who Wanted Her Pacemaker Turned Off and her audio coments.
Adamowicz, then 71, described how she would lose consciousness, often at night, and would hear the click of her pacemaker snapping into action when she came to. She said she was "lucky", and "forever grateful" for her life, but that she was also prepared to die.
"I feel that [there is] life, and death is other side of the same coin," she said.
"I'd like to know what is there.
"It's not about 'I want to die', I'm dying."

I have SVT, have had it since I was a kid, means I have a jumpy nerve that sets off insane heart rate, usually triggered by Sammy's Chinese kitchen honey chicken with "no msg added".
It took me being hooked up to a machine during an episode after years and years of them not being able to find anything to work out what it was. My siblings have it too.

My dad has/had an arrhythmia that prompted him to undergo some procedures where they tried to burn out the nerve clusters that had caused the arrhythmia to put his heart back in rhythm. Those didn't work. Without further intervention, he was looking at enlarged heart, increased risk of stroke and eventual heart failure. He had to have a pacemaker put in not so long ago.
I think it frustrates him that age in catching up with him.

For some months now, I've been trying to get any kind of response from Spektrum or JR about performance issues with the DSM2 system.
I really find it incredible that neither Horizon, nor the New Zealand JR distributor have even bothered to reply to my requests for contact.
Likewise, the NZ Spektrum distributor simply referred me to Horizon.
I would have thought that they would have been only too keen to discuss anything that relates to the performance of their product -- either to correct my misunderstanding of the situation or to take onboard what I may have to offer in respect to improving the performance and reliability of their products.
But no -- total silence is all I've received back.
The only reason I can think of for this complete lack of response is that they have no reasonable answer to my questions and that they'd rather ignore the issues I wish to raise and are simply hoping that I'll go away.
Perhaps they underestimate the traffic that RCModelReviews is now getting (it averaged 8,000 page views per day last month and continues to grow at a surprising rate).
Perhaps they want nothing to do with an independent publisher who is not swayed by the power of advertising dollars and who is therefore less likely to "overlook" deficiencies in any product being tested or reviewed.
Whatever the reason, I find it rather unprofessional and a little disconcerting.
Perhaps RCModelReviews readers would like to ask Horizon directly why they haven't responded at least, to the email I sent in reply to their podcast when the site was mentioned (albeit not by name) and called a "tabloid" -- for even suggesting that there could be issues with their product.
Surely, if they get enough people asking, they'll have to either respond or explain why they refuse to respond -- or leave people wondering what their motive really is.

Kevin Ware Returns In Cardinals Win Over Pikeville
Even before he officially checked into the game, Kevin Ware had the crowd at the Yum! Center on its feet cheering. Again, the fans stood in support as Ware drilled a three-pointer on his first shot attempt.
"Honestly, I thought I would air ball my first shot," Ware said. "When it went in, everything went back to normal."
"It was a storybook ending when you take your first shot and it doesn't touch the iron," head coach Rick Pitino said after the game.
Ware ended the game with six points and four rebounds in 10 minutes in his first game back from the injury against Duke as the Cards defeated Pikeville 90-61, but Ware said it was a surprise to hear his number called.
"I was a little nervous actually. I didn't expect to get in so late in the game," Ware said. "When he called my number, I was ready. I've been away for 220 days."
Pitino said it was important to get him in the game tonight, but fans and media shouldn't judge him on tonight's performance alone.
"I wanted to get him some minutes to get him over the jitters for Charleston," Pitino said. "He's doing great, but let's not evaluate him until he gets a few weeks under his belt."
Mentally, Ware said he is completely back, partly due to the fact that he still has not seen the video of his injury. Plus, all the fan support did not hurt.
"It felt great honestly people have been supporting me since my injury. Everybody has been waiting for me to come back," Ware said. "I think mentally I'm back. I have a ways to go in my conditioning, but basketball wise I feel like myself."
Point guard Chris Jones led the team in scoring with 19 points. Montrezl Harrel was a beast in the paint, making seven of eight shots and hitting four free throws to score 18 for the Cards. At one point, he screamed "AND ONE" after making a basket and getting fouled, showing that even if this is Pikeville, he will play against them hard. Russ Smith ended the night with 12 points, seven assists and two steals.
The Cards next game is Saturday against Charleston at 1 p.m. ET.

I'm a marginally interesting Minneapolis artist trying to create some meaningful stuff that's honest to my experience. I'm also along for the ride with Jacob's Well, an amazing church (not an oxymoron) that has invested in me and the artistry I cultivate. And I live in intentional community in a triplex in the middle of Minneapolis, and seeking above-average husband- and father-dom in a growingly artistic, energetic, organic, carbon light, and bilingual household.

IBM Total Usage Financing was created to complement the corporation's e-business on demand initiative and to help customers redefine how they acquire and manage on-demand information technology (IT) offerings and integrate them into their e-business infrastructure. Total Usage Financing is a financing solution designed to adjust to customers' needs for computing power in real time.
A new combination of financing knowledge, experience and processes from IBM Global Financing, the world's leading IT financier, the on-demand financing offering is a total solution offering. IBM Total Usage Financing combines financing for fixed upfront IT costs -- to spread them out over a project's term -- with a revolving credit line to support and smooth out real-time ongoing variable service charges. The offering is designed to support the needs of an on-demand business to adjust itself in real time and in a highly variable fashion to unplanned peak usage.
IBM Total Usage Financing will be available initially only to IBM to e-business hosting customers in the United States.
"IBM plays a key role in defining how customers pay for their computing," said William C. Doscas, vice president, Marketing and Sales, IBM Global Financing. "Total Usage Financing goes a major step further, by helping companies adjust their IT support in real time, more affordably. Customers now can have the maximum flexibility to use only as much additional financing as they need -- and only when they need it on demand -- to fully support the IT infrastructure of their e-business."
In addition, the new financing product may help IBM customers lower monthly costs and better manage fixed budgets in a variable real-time environment. While helping customers cover potential peak demand, the IBM offering also was designed to better match costs to benefits, potentially helping customers to gain more immediate payback from IT projects.
Additional details on IBM Total Usage Financing are available at www.ibm.com/financing.

What is Integrated Pest Management also known as IPM?
These days people are more worried about the environment and the use of chemicals which is where IPM comes in.
Integrated Pest Management or IPM is an environmentally sensitive way of managing your pest control needs.
IPM only supports the use of chemicals when all other avenues have been exhausted.
Not all pest control businesses support IPM but Progressive Pest Management is one of the supportive and forward thinking pest control management businesses in the Brisbane North area.
You can read Progressive Pest Management's blog post on What is Integrated Pest Management for more information.

I was wondering if there is a simple way to adjust sample sensitivity in the giga editor and check the feel while you are editing. Can you select all of the keys and move the velocity layers up and down and check the effect in real time?
I was wondering if there is a simple way to adjust sample sensitivity in the giga editor and check the feel while you are editing. Can you select all of the keys and move the velocity layers up and down and check the effect in real time?
Hey Temps,
the answer to your question is \'yes\'. It\'s both easy and fun to do.
The Giga editor gives you a few options for editing, and often these require a full or partial \'download\' before you can hear the effect of your edit.
However, there\'s a lengthy drop down menu of editable parameters which uses the \'blue balls\' interface. Edits made with the blue balls can be heard in realtime without downloads.
1. Load your sound into the editor.
2. Above the graphic keyboard are two title areas. The right title starts with \'drag..\', the left title will be an editable parameter. Click anywhere on the editable parameter title bar to cause the full parameter list to drop down.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the list and choose \'Upper Velocity Boundary\'.
4. Click on the \'Midi Select\' button to the right of the keyboard graphic until the led becomes unlit. When the led is on midi notes select the region to edit. This can be inconvenient if you happen to touch a key just after highlighting a complex combination of sub regions to edit. If you leave it off, you can play to your hearts content and nothing will be selected/deselected.
5. By \'rubber banding\' you can select all the sub regions you want to deal with at once. they should all turn yellow, with the most recently clicked one being slightly brighter. If you can\'t see all the regions at one time, use the +/- buttons next to the left of the edit parameter title bar to zoom out until you can.
6. Now comes the fun part. When you selected all the sub regions, you should have noticed a line of blue balls apear somewhere on the region layout below the graphic of the keyboard. These currently represent the upper velocity boundary of your selected subregions. The blue balls can move in one of three ways: A)Drag All Selected regions - all balls are moved by the amount that your chosen ball is dragged. (it doesn\'t matter which ball you drag if all subregions are selected.) B) Drag with Linear Scaling - When this mode is selected, dragging a value in one region causes the other selected regions values to be scaled across the keyboard. If you drag the highest or lowest region in the selection, the region at the opposite end acts as an anchor, while the regions in between adjust themselves linearly between the two extremes. If you drag a region in the middle of the selected range, both endpoints act as anchors.
C)Drag proportional scaling. Keeps settings proportionate to the distance from parameter that is being changed. When this mode is selected, dragging a value in one region causes the other selected regions to change in proportion to their proximity to the region youre dragging. (Its easier to see for yourself than it is to explain!) Use this mode to make subtle modifications to a keyboard scaling whose basic shape you dont want to disturb.
Temps, in your instance, I\'d use the plain vanilla \'drag all selected\' option.
Don\'t forget to save when your done.
Thanks Chadwick,
I\'m looking forward to trying this out.

When I start planning for the holiday season, I start to look like this. Yes... just a little hyper. ;) But the thing that I always mess up on, the thing that I always fail to plan for, is people going:
So, Kat... What do YOU want for Christmas this year?
(Insert awkward silence here.)
I spend 364 days of the year as a total shopaholic who has absolutely no qualms buying (or saving up and buying) pretty much anything that I want. When the holidays come around, though, I go into Gift mode. I want to get people *the* thing that they want. I love spending money. I *hate* wasting it. If I get someone a gift, it has to be just right.
So to save myself some awkwardness over the question above, this year I have a plan. Since I know I want books (and I'm sure you know that, too) I've compiled a list of titles I want to read but haven't yet. What do I want from you guys? Take a look and tell me if anything here jumps out at you as an "I can't believe you haven't read that yet!" book.
Thanks for putting up with my Christmas-crazed brain less then a week after Halloween. It's a Canadian thing, I tell ya. We already had our Thanksgiving in early October, so it's a total 180 from Halloween to Christmas.
Anyway, on with the list...
by Trinity Faegen
Why I Want It: I've had my eye on this one for a while and simply haven't ended up ordering it yet. It was actually one of my selections for Waiting on Wednesday a while back. (Update: Got it)
by Courtney Summers
Why I Want It: I love contemporary YA and I've heard good things about Courtney Summers. This book grabbed my interest when I was looking around. I intended to grab it at Chapters in September, but they were sold out.
by Jocelyn Davis
Why I Want It: I usually hate love triangles but this has me intrigued. Maybe it's the whole fire and ice concept that grabbed me or maybe it's just the pretty cover? Not sure, really. I just know I want to read it.
by Tabitha Suzuma
Why I Want It: Normally I'm a wuss who would not touch this kind of book with a twenty foot pole, but considering that DarkFallen recommended it when she and Greta visited, I'll make an exception. Besides that, I am curious if I can be convinced to care about this situation.
by Carrie Ryan
Why I Want It: This sounds like it should be totally fascinating and is one of those books that, in the back of my head, I'm going "Why haven't you read this yet, hm?" I'm sure I'll get this sooner or later. (Update: Got it)
by Kresley Cole
Why I Want It: The one and only non-YA book on this list. In all reality, though, prior to starting my blog and writing Moon Dance, my focus as a reader was paranormal romance. This is another DarkFallen & Greta recommendation and it definitely sounds like my kind of book.
by Becca Fitzpatrick
Why I Want It: I think it's time I quit tiptoeing around this book, or adding it to an order and removing it for whatever reason. Or going to Chapters and meaning to buy it and either forgetting or it not being there. (That happened in Florida.) I know: half of you are rolling your eyes that I haven't read this. The other half are rolling them because I want to. It's time I weighed in on this one. (Update: Got it)
by Julia Kagawa
Why I Want It: This is an absolute no-brainer. The only reason I don't own The Iron Knight yet is because I haven't finished The Iron Daughter and The Iron Queen. Why? I'm using them as "reward" books for getting stuff I need read by a certain time done first. (Update: Got it.)
by Victoria Schwab
Why I Want It: This sounds like it should be a totally fabulous read and I've heard many good things about it. Most notably is the review by my friend Kevin, who seemed to really enjoy it. So I need to check it out.
by Andrea Cremer
Why I Want It: Somewhere out there must be a book about werewolves / shifters that I will love. The concept always seems so fab, but the execution so often disappoints. Nightshade deserves to have its own turn, though. BTW, yes I will be hunting for *this* gorgeous cover. Going to be a pain. (Update: Got it.)
by John Green
Why I Want It: Um... It's John Green? Okay, seriously now. I loved Will Grayson, Will Grayson so I want to see what John comes up with on his own. I've had a few requests from readers for my take on Paper Towns and it sounds great, so why not?
by Jonathan Maberry
Why I Want It: This was recommended by The Haunted Rose and it sounds totally great. I think a few of you have recommended it, actually, but my mind's going blank over who else did. :) Either way, great books deserve to be read and this looks like its right up my alley.
by Tahereh Mafi
Why I Want It: Okay. It's Shatter Me. Who doesn't want it? :) Really, though. Odds are I will buy this before the holidays but I would feel a little rude not including this on my holiday list. It sounds really fascinating and exciting and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
by Lauren Myracle
Why I Want It: This got a lot of attention on Twitter the other week and I ended up going onto GoodReads and looking it up. It sounds like the sort of book that should be / needs to be read. As someone who loves contemporary YA this simply had to make my list.
by Gayle Forman
Why I Want It: Ah, yes. Here we are with another "What?! You haven't read that yet?" book. And no, I haven't. And I won't without a box of Kleenex if what I've read about it is true. I use to avoid books that might get me upset, but I've began to learn they are good for me as a writer, weird as that may sound.
by Sarah Ockler
Why I Want It: This is like the contemporary version of Hush, Hush. No, I do *not* mean that in a plot way. I mean I've had it on lists a zillion times and something has "intervened" and kept me from getting it. Time to quit stalling. I really want to read it.
by Tera Lynn Childs
Why I Want It: Hello, book that ties into Greek mythology. How are you not on my bookshelf yet? I love the idea of this book and the idea of the three varying viewpoints is something I find appealing. I've wanted to check this one out for a while.
by Holly Black
Why I Want It: I've heard many good things about this book. I was not a fan of Tithe, but I've had a lot of people tell me that I should not compare the two. Since I'm the sort who will give an author a second chance, and since the premise sounds good and I have a soft spot for the character's name, onto the list it goes.
by Morgan Matson
Why I Want It: The idea behind the book sounds great, plus when Marie from Ramblings of a Daydreamer dropped by for Saturday Spotlight she linked me to her review of it, which was really convincing. This is one of those "Why haven't I read that yet?" titles that I really need to add to my library. (Update: Got it.)
by Lia Habel
Why I Want It: I have already read and reviewed this book, and I totally loved it. I want this because I know I will want to read it again, the cover is beautiful, and considering that Random House was awesome and let me read it via NetGalley, it stands to reason I should support a book I loved by owning a copy. (And did I mention the cover? Again?) (Update: Got it.)
by Suzanne Young
Why I Want It: This book sounds like it should be really interesting and I have wanted to check it out for a while. It's actually a book I kept forgetting the title for, somehow, which is probably the only reason I haven't bought it yet.
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Why I Want It: Oh. My. God. Don't get me started on this one. I am extremely intrigued from what I have heard about this book. A lot of my friends have been reading it and I want to see what all the fuss is about. I have a strong hunch this is going to be one of those books I will become obsessed with. We shall see. ;)
by Michelle Madow
Why I Want It: This is in the same situation as Dearly, Departed. I read and reviewed (well, *am reviewing* in this case) the book and I totally loved it. (Ooooh, did I let something slip?) With a story this good and a cover this gorgeous, the only way I will feel right about owning Remembrance is to actually get a copy to go on my shelf.
by Jus Accardo
Why I Want It: Great sounding premise, cool looking cover and Giselle seemed to really like it. The idea of someone being able to kill with touch seems popular this year, but that won't stop me from enjoying stories as their own unique thing.
by Cynthia Hand
Why I Want It: I have heard so much good stuff about this book and it sounds really, really interesting. This is likely another one where I'm going to get "You haven't read that yet?" from some of you. (Update: Got it.)
by Beth Revis
Why I Want It: Well for starts it sounds fascinating. Going on, I can't believe I don't already own it. And to finish, I need to correct this awkward oversight immediately. This sounds like a book I should have read and reviewed ages ago. (Update: Got it.)
by Patrick Ness
Why I Want It: I've had my eye on this for a while and simply haven't hit the "buy" button. The premise sounds interesting, if potentially sad. Still ... I'm getting much braver about reading stuff that might want to push my buttons and I know I need to read this.
by Jackson Pearce
Why I Want It: I loved Sisters Red. I love fairy tale retellings in general. So this seems like one of those books that I am going to read no matter what. Plus, if I've heard right, this is a retelling of Hansel and Gretel, which isn't something you see every day.

Why I Want It: The premise sounds totally awesome and I am dying to find out what the deal is with these different societies, different guys, and Evie's role in everything that is going on. Plus I won a bookmark for this... It'd be kinda awkward without the book.

Why I Want It: This looks interesting and I've wanted to check it out for a while. I kept forgetting either the name of the book, or about wanting to read it, though. Shouldn't be a problem now: My friend JoAnne, over at The Fairytale Nerd, wants my view on it so I'll need to make sure to pick it up. (Update: Got it.)
... Holy crap! I listed 30 different books. Eek!
So there you have it. That's my crazy huge Christmas wish list. There is no way on earth that I can conceivably get all of those. Even with being able to get some of them for my Kindle, how in the world would I make time to read them all? (I'm bad, bad, bad for that with books I buy. I tend to be far better with things I review, obviously.) So yes, the list needs to be narrowed down.
What are your recommendations? I'd love to know, so please feel free to leave a comment. Also ... What's on your holiday wish list? Feel free to leave a list in the comments, or make your own holiday post and link it here. :)
