A post of undeath..
Okay..well really just a post letting you all know I am not dead yet.
Just rather busy and not really coherent enough to make a blog post about my goings on.
I did finally finish reading that book....about a day before it was due to the library and could not be renewed do to a request made on it. I have my own request in for the second book of the series now and that is about 2 or 3 in the queue. Hopefully whoever is reading it right now, respects the due date and returns it so I can get my greedy little hands on it and continue the story.
Although now that I have no book to read, my nails are thanking me.
I am a habitual nail biter. Although I have stopped for the most part for about 3 or 4 years now. I say I am still a nail biter, because I don't think it is something that totally goes away. Like....when reading a book..lets say..
I become so engrossed in a book, I do not realize my hand has reached my mouth. I realize it after and curse myself for it, but the damage at that point is already done.
I suppose I could not get as involved in the book to keep a better track of those fingers of mine, but somehow it just loses the point and fun of reading. I like to get engrossed in a story.
Mr. Bookeater husband of mine has gone through most of his older things, so has resorted to mine. For this I cheer! He will finally be able to realize the world of Dirk Pitt and Numa and become a devotedstalker....errr...I mean fan of Clive Cussler. ( I have similarly converted The Maven to this writer that seems to take you on an absolutely wonderfully fun romp through the adventures of a dashing, handsome, witty hero and his friend.)
Uhhh....He's a good writer..just take our word for it. *chuckles* I was in Chapters the other day and noticed there was a new novel of this bunch and almost started drooling. It was freaking out my friend a little bit I think.
My reaching out to snatch the book from the shelf it rested on, the loving scan of the front cover to confirm that it was -indeed- a Dirk Pitt novel, the caressing hand as I turned the book over to devour the brief glimpse into the next world Cussler would unlock for us. Then..the hungry filled eyes darted down to the price tag.. $13.95! (Which when you are a stay at home mom, with a husband not currently working, is a hefty amount). My dismay and my regret when I put the book back.
Okay...so my friend was looking at me a little oddly after that...and rightly so I suppose.
Ah well..when Maven gets it or my mom does...I will get have you my pretty! *cackles*
*end ramble*

I'm just checking to see if I can leave you a comment yet...
Aha! Apparently I can. So I will leave you what I was going to say the other day but couldn't because it wouldn't let me:
I keep trying to post a 'back off, lady, Dirk is MY man' comment, but it won't let me. I wonder if you have that in your settings somewhere:
if(poster == "Maven" && body.contains("dirk pitt"))
{
return error("He's all mine!");
}
Yeah I knew you had to be a friend of The Maven, her wonderful, contagious, nuttiness attracts others just like her!!!Good luck with your new book hunt!
