Part Two of the newest version of Inside the Blogosphere is up over at Grasping for the Wind. (So is Part One, but I'm in Part Two so that's the one that counts.)
For those who don't know, Inside the Blogosphere is a series in which a question is posed to various bloggers and each of them writes a response. The question for this one is: If you could live in an SF/Fantasy/Horror world, in which one would you live? Why?
This was an amazingly easy question for me to answer since I would love to live in The Culture universe created by Iain M. Banks. It was interesting to read what everyone had to say and now I have some new books I need to check out, particularly the Riverworld series and the novel Implied Spaces. So what about everyone else? What fictional world would you want to live in and why?

The Little CJ Blog Award
Orannia has presented me with the Little CJ Blog Award. Thanks, Orannia! I am honored (and frightened by Little CJ's threat but more pleased than scared).
Little CJ has ordained that I must pass this award on to only two blogs, thus proving she is truly diabolical in nature. Only two of the many fantastic blogs I read? That's really tough. So I decided to use the same method Orannia did - which blogs have added a lot to my TBR list. After looking through the wishlist and recent purchases, there are two blogs that stand out as major contributors:
The Book Smugglers
Fantasy Debut
Good work for keeping me from ever getting near the bottom of that to-read pile!

Avoiding the Wrath of the Zombie Chicken
This blog recently received one of the most originally named blog awards I've seen floating around on the Internet - The Zombie Chicken Award. Thanks Thea and Ana! If you haven't by now, check out their blog, The Book Smugglers - it's one of my favorites!
Here is what it means to be a recipient of the coveted Zombie Chicken:
Those choices should keep me safe from the wrath of the flock of zombie chickens for a while...
Here is what it means to be a recipient of the coveted Zombie Chicken:
The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…Well, I wouldn't want the zombie chickens to come after me and peck my brains out. In no particular order (oh fine, alphabetical because I'm anal like that), my nominees are:
Those choices should keep me safe from the wrath of the flock of zombie chickens for a while...
