In case anyone is interested, I'm giving away a BRAND NEW hardcover copy of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs on my blog, The Wolf's Den.
Note: this copy has NEVER been read. I checked out a copy from the library to do my review in the likelyhood that I would be holding this giveaway (I'm just not a hardcover gal). So, while this copy has been flipped through a couple times to show pictures, it is otherwise PRISTINE.
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.Since I will soon be getting my hands on a copy of the paperback, I'm happy to offer up my hardcover in a Giveaway!
It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Books Read 2014
Music Player Query
Okay, I've got a query for you: Is it worth having iTunes if I don't have any Apple products?
As it is, I have iTunes AND Windows Media Player. I prefer WMP for audiobooks because I can see the length of the book in terms of time (which I use for my reviews) and can increase the speed (though I've been using VLC media player for better tracking recently).
Thus, I don't see much reason for having iTunes... All my music seems to show up in WMP anyway, and the new iT interface is a lot more complicated (and the search function sucks).
So...thoughts?
Screen Free Week!
Gonna give this a try.
I'm going to stay away from my screens as much as possible for the entire week from April 28-May 5. That means no facebook, no youtube, no TV, and no dA. Well, okay, maybe just a little. Since I'm running a brand new group (Lit-Crit-and-Reviews (https://www.deviantart.com/lit-crit-and-reviews)), I figure it's not fair if I completely bug out for an entire week. So I'll allow myself to pop in twice a day just to approve submissions and join requests, then pop back off.
I'm also allowing logging on to e-mail twice a day, checking the library as necessary, and writing book reviews. If I do as much reading as I'm planning on this week, I'd get completely overloaded
Internet Security and TiVo HELP!!
CALLING ALL TECHIES - I need your advice
Went to Comcast this week to upgrade our 10-year old internet modem(s). Got a new Gateway that handles phone, ethernet & wireless all in one (instead of the 2 we had previously).
The new modem has super-special security WPA/WPA2K-PST, but is capable of being set to practically any setting, including the old-school WEP.
Now, I have an old-school SD TiVo that can ONLY recognize WEP unless I buy a $60 network adapter for it. It's old and practically obsolete with the HDTV and HD cable box I have available, but it's free with lifetime service, so I'd really rather keep it for the time being. And without
