Synopsis: Thanks to an elderly spinster sleuth and her ingenious cat, Christopher Holmes has enjoyed a celebrated career as a bestselling mystery writer. Until now. Sales are down and his new editor is allergic to geriatric gumshoes. On the advice of his agent, he reinvents his fortyish, frumpy, recently dumped self into the sleek, sexy image of a literary lion, and heads for a Northern California writers conference to try and resurrect his career. A career nearly as dead as the body he stumbles over in the woods.

Review: This is the first book in Lanyon's new mystery series, "Holmes and Moriarity", introducing two sleuthing novelists, Christopher "Kit" Holmes and J.X. Moriarity. Also, this is a gay mystery, if Lanyon's name didn't clue you in :) And as I have previously stated, my objectivity goes right out of the window when it comes down to Lanyon's books because I just love his characters so much - and this book is no exception.

You know why I liked this one so much? Holmes is basically Rodney McKay - a 39-year-old sarcastic guy with a bad back, hypoglycemia and a deep love for coffee! J.X. Moriarity on the other hand reminds me eerily of John Sheppard - an ex-cop with strong leadership qualities and a high tolerance for Holmes' sarcasm; he thinks that Holmes is a selfish bastard and kind of nuts but still worth protecting. How could I not love this book?!

My Leverage DVDs are here! That means that my Psych marathon is postponed for the time being for a Leverage S1 marathon! I still need to finish watching S1 before I can start S2 that's now being aired on TNT, that's why :)

Yay! Audio commentaries on each ep! Bonus features! Deleted scenes! *twirls*

Hey, Eureka was renewed for S4! I'm not downloading the new eps - the rest of S3, that is - but I think I will buy it on DVD when it comes out. I mean, I do have S1+2 so... I just hope that it won't appear only as the 3.0 and 3.1 version but as a whole season in one box set then later on, too. I can wait.

I watched Supernatural's comic con panel vids - beware of spoilers! - and they energized me so much for the show. I can't wait to see it! So much fun \o/
