I Wanna Smell Like a Paperback!

Get this...there's actually a scent that replicates the smell of a paperback book!

The Paper Back scent from the Demeter Fragrance Library smells "sweet, with a touch of musty".

Believe it or not, classic scents from the Demeter Fragrance Library also include Popcorn, Sawdust, Scottish Shortbread, Rubber, Salt Air, Suntan Lotion, Tomato, Vinyl, Turpentine, Snow and more.

Whoa.

Is this cool or what?

Mystery Murders: Jack the Ripper PC Game

I’ve played a handful of PC games claiming to be Tarot-related, but the new Mystery Murders: Jack the Ripper is the first one to not only include actual Rider-Waite card images, but actual Tarot explanations and spreads.

Even better, this is one of the better PC Hidden Object/Puzzle games I’ve played (and there’s been dozens!).

Set in England (natch), Mystery Murders: Jack the Ripper features Emma de Ville, a clairvoyant receiving startling, gruesome visions about a killer at her home in Piccadilly Circus.

The hidden object parts are actually quite challenging, even in casual mode (I’ve had to use the hint button at least once in every scene), and while the puzzles aren’t too difficult (like those in Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate and subsequent MCF games), they’re still engaging. There are also clever, original matching games I haven’t seen before in a PC game of this stripe, so it’s nice to actually be surprised when playing one!

One scene even featured a Celtic Cross layout, and the journal explains Tarot and the terms Major and Minor Arcana (how cool is that?)

I’m only 45 minutes into it, but I can say that, so far, this is a very well-done Hidden Object/Puzzle game with attractive graphics and easy-to-use interface.

Go try it out yourself for free for 60 minutes at Big Fish Games. After that, you can choose to buy it for only $6.99 (BFG is where I buy 98% of my PC games).

Below are some screen shots I took. Nice eye candy, huh?

Enjoy!

I discovered this blog post at HappyPlace.com today, and laughed so hard and loud that 1. I almost peed myself 2. My son came downstairs to investigate the source of the ruckus.

Rapture Coming! (What Book Do Want to Squeeze In?)

Apparently, Judgment Day is coming tomorrow--May 21, 2011.

Call me glib, but what's really on my mind is what book to squeeze in before I meet Jesus.

What book are you rushing out to buy or read before the big day tomorrow?

And for those out there frozen with indecision, how about some of you whip-smart readers recommend a book or two to devour before we meet our Maker (or, as Fate may have it, The Taker). (Sorry, the Bible or Christian material doesn't count. We'll get to see for ourselves, thankyouverymuch).

It must be engaging, escapist, entertaining fiction.

Ready...set...go! Share your recommendations before we fly or fry!
