Sorry I didn't make my rounds tonight. I'll catch up in the next few days. I'm having a rough week at work. I won't go into the boring details, but it's making me tired and cranky.

I did get a cool surprise yesterday with a Rockin' Boy Blogger badge courtesy of Katherine over at Wading Through My Stream of Consciousness.



I'll have a post for this tomorrow, along with some fellow rockin' fellas.

I know why you're here today though. You're looking to continue the tour through my library, aren't ya? Well, who am I to disappoint?

If you missed any of the previous lists, you can check them out here.

So here are the next 13 authors in the stacks:

1. Raymond E. Feist - The Riftwar Saga, Daughter of Empire, Prince of the Blood, The Serpent War Saga, The Riftwar Legacy
2. Edna Ferber - Cimaron
3. F. Scott Fitzgerald - Tender is the Night
4. Thomas Flanagan - The End of the Hunt
5. Ian Fleming - More Gilt-Edged Bonds
6. Kenneth C. Flint - Legends Reborn
7. Frederick Forsythe - The Odessa File, The Negotiator
8. John Fowles - The Collector
9. Ernest K. Gann - The High and the Mighty
10. John Gardner - The Liquidator
11. David Gemmill - The Legend Trilogy
12. Rumer Godden - Kingfishers Catch Fire
13. Sue Grafton - A is for Alibi, B is for Burglar, C is for Corpse, K is for Killer, N is for Noose, O is for Outlaw

Here's a few words about So You Think You Can Dance...wonderful, excellent, fun, great talent, and surprising. Reviews are coming soon. Pam and I have some favorites we think can win, but here's a video of the pair we get such a kick out of right now. He's a break dancer with no formal training and she's only been dancing for four years. This is just a wonderful dance.

    THAT is one of my all-time favorite Pretenders tunes. Every time I hear it I get chills and then I weep.

    Congrats, you rockin' boy! You deserve it, Trav.

    I could just sit and watch those dance clips all day long! And youtube is so cool grouping up similar clips for my viewing pleasure!

    I like to see what people are reading. I love summer. Being off work, I can read like a madman without a soul. Right now I have begun "The First Man of Rome" by Colleen McCollough. I'm going through a Rome thing, I guess.

    Great list, Trav.

    So you think you can dance rocks, and so do you! Congrats on the Rockin' boy honor. I can't wait to see who you pick.

    Congrats on the Rockin' Boy Award. :D

    Great titles and authors - I've jotted a few down for future materials.

    Great tune to dance to - what did the judges have to say about them? To me, there didn't seem to be an abundance of originality, although they had some great moves, and chemistry.

    Starr: It's been ages since I read either of those books.

    Julie: I love that youtube is grouping them all like that.

    Comedy: Thanks!

    Wolfbaby: I think my favorite on this particular list is Feist.

    Hi Travis. Well, I didn't get a T13 up today, though I thought about it last night. Maybe I can get it done next week.

    I, like you, have lots of good books around here.

    I've tagged you for a meme. Hope you don't mind. Check it out on my blog and see what it's about.

    Have a great day.
