Jack and the Box, the first book we read, was written ... http://www.nerderyblog.com/2008/12/08/book-review-jack-and-the-box/ Sorry for the delay this week.  Let's get to it. Actually, before I get to my weekly books proper, I want to discuss the "Special Dark Reign Edition" of Marvel's Previews. It's rated, which seems odd to me.  You know what it's rated? T+.  I realize that the current age group of ... http://www.nerderyblog.com/2008/12/05/what-i-bought-120408/ I know I promised a What I Bought today, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Instead, I give you this: http://www.nerderyblog.com/2008/12/04/excuses-excuses/ When new books don't ship Wednesday, it throws off my brain schedule.  And it makes me very sad.
