    Have you read the Alan Bennett book about the queen taking on novels--can't remember the name? If no, it's going in a wee package for you, because I remember you saying somewhere that you wanted to read it.

    It made me want to revisit some of the books! It's been so long that I don't remember them all that well -- only that I LOVED them & her. Today I wish I were a child so I could stay home from school and have mum look after me. Boo!! I nursed hubby so well that now I'm sniffling. Once I hand over a few things, I'm out if there…and hopefully NOT on my way to jury duty. Double boo!!

    I hope all's well with you & to frolic in the Usual Place soon!!

    Nothing like a good parody...though apparently it can cause some people to go crazy and wish death upon the author...hmm, now, who could that be??!!

    LOL...well, let's see...have you started Inkheart and not been able to finish it? And, have you seen the movie and thought it was rubbish? hehe

    Oh pooh, I just saw that down there I spelled costume "custom." That's what happens when you post at 6 am. Sure, that's what happened:)

    Thanks:) My cat was threatening to scratch me to death if I didn't take down the one of her in her custom so I had to find something new fast. LOL

    Hey Alicia, The verdict is still out on the Sookie series. I have never seen the TV show, it seems a little Melrose ish for place. I think the books are cute and quick reads if you need a break from life. I plan on starting Outlander after I finish up a couple books I am working on. I am glad to see from your shelf that I know this much is true is really good. I will finish one day!!! Have a good day.

    oh, you bought PSS? (grins more hugely) you're in for the greatest freak-out of your life...Mieville isnt for wusses...

    purple? (sniffs disdainfully) that would be my rival...I'm still trying to get the Enablers' Guild to take her enabling license away...purple clashes most garishly w/ green, you know...

    I am looking forward to getting some rest this weekend ^_^ and I am going to start going to bed earlier... I just have to, I'm getting too old to burn the candle at both ends. I'm definitely not 20 anymore.

    Luckily it's an easy workday ^_^ as you can see, I am surfing the internet from work. Yay!

    (grins) well dont skip all of the Lord John bits, they become rather important later on, wery important...

    I think Pam is probably my fave character in the series, she never fails to crack me up...and have you noticed that Sookie and Claire have a wery similar sense of humor? going from one series to the other you can see the similarities to their personalities, especially the older Sookie of the last 3 or 4 books...and didnt you just want to smack the sh!t out of Jason? the mongrel...

    ooooh, lava cake! (eyes her dominos bookmark...)

    (grins) From Dead to Worse was a good installment, wasnt it? I'm glad Quinn was revealed to be a moron though, I never liked him all that much, purple eyes notwithstanding...and I loved the bit where Eric finally remembers everything, and he starts calling her 'my lover' again...yes, you must get the hb of Dead and Gone...Sookie finally bangs him, and about damn time, too...

    how's Echo going?

    I meant to say, genetic traits.. as I do not think that is necessarily a talent. But it is too early ;)
