I stopped at Borders this evening looking for something on which to use my 40 percent off coupon. I was in the mood for a good mystery set in ancient Egypt, say something by Lynda S. Robinson or P. C. Doherty. Alas, there was nothing in stock. I can’t say I’m surprised. Borders had to get rid of something in order to make room for the parade of vampire novels that is attempting to cash in on the Twilight craze.
I browsed the fantasy shelves for a while and I found an interesting looking book called The Spirit Lens by Carol Berg. The concept of a fantasy world where natural science and sorcery are fighting for dominance seemed really cool. But as I walked toward the checkout counter, I passed by the kids section and I saw it: the complete first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar is probably my favorite anime of all time, so Carol Berg ended up going back on the shelf.
Now I need to make sure that I don’t let all that Avatar goodness keep me from revising AToB. Must resist the urge to slack off!
