Well, I have more links for you all. No need to keep you waiting. Here goes:
- Want to know what those rejection letters actually mean? Here’s a post about deciphering them.

- The Torch Online lists the top eight fantasy villains. Darkness is a particular favorite of mine.
- io9 Lists 13 books that will change the way you look at robots. Some really good titles here.
- Beam Me Up asks: What is science fiction? They’re obviously not the first or only ones asking this and unfortunately it’s not a topic that will ever have a definitive answer…
- Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog lists five interesting Peter Pan books. If you like Mr. Pan, you might want to check those out!

Thanks goes to Mr. Tan of Bibliophile Stalker and John of SF Signal for pointing me to a handful of the links on this list.
