My Monday quiz seems to have many of you stumped. I thought I would include this link to a website for fun Shakespeare games with great graphics.

Who knows, maybe it will help you answer a few of the quotes on the quiz. Games include: Hamlet’s Duel, What’s in a name? (find a match for Juliet), Name that Play, and SAT-Shakespeare Aptitude Test.
Have fun!
Harlan’s new book will be available on April 15th.
Visit his website (http://www.harlancoben.com/) to find out about his appearances for his new book. Jason & I went to one of his book signings a few years ago in Houston and really enjoyed it. I think you will too.
The following is directly from his mailing list.
MYRON TV SERIES? Help do the casting.
Hart Hanson, the creator and executive producer of the TV series BONES, is writing a pilot for Twentieth Century Fox studios and Fox network to bring Myron and the gang to a TV near you. The working title — and this could very easily change — is PROMISES AND LIES. Okay so let’s hear your casting suggestions for Myron, Win and Esperanza. Keep in mind that this is a TV series, not a movie, so if you’re thinking, say, George Clooney or Vince Vaughn, you’re probably wasting your time. That’s all the details I know now. As I know more, you’ll know more. You can email your suggestions to casting@harlancoben.com. Yes, I will try to read them all, though please don’t expect replies. Thanks!
Lastly, the French movie TELL NO ONE, which was a huge box office hit and was nominated for nine Cesar (French Oscar) winning four of them, will be released in theaters in the USA in June (it was already released in the UK and Australia and is now out on DVD) with English subtitles. I don’t have details yet or know when it will be on DVD, so keep checking the website. In the meantime, you can see the trailer here:

I’m in the middle of Los Alamos and really enjoying it. But, I thought I’d pass along another fun site.
www.m-w.com is the merriam-webster dictionary site and it has fun word games, crossword puzzles and a daily podcast. My favorite is the word game of the day. You should check it out.
If any of you have a good book recommendation please leave a comment. Thanks!
I released my first book into the wild today, courtesy of www.bookcrossing.com. I have lots of books on my shelf and I will never consider throwing any of them away. I will trade them, donate them, give them away, but I will NEVER throw a book away. So, I decided to try releasing a book into the world and seeing what would happen.
I left a Tami Hoag book at the Arabica in Solon at about 11 this morning. If you are going by there today you should stop by and see if it is still there. Here’s the link to bookcrossing telling you about it.

I’ll keep you posted if anything happens. Or you could try it yourself. If you go to the site and click on the GO HUNTING heading on the left you can enter your own city and see if anyone has already released a book in your area.
Happy Hunting!
