Hee right? I couldn't ass up the Horse Soldiers not for 2.99.

Best typo ever.

*giggles*

Is Horse Soldiers with the Greison's? I am sure I spelled the name wrong it has been years since I wrote it, if so, he was on my father's side of the family.

Enjoy your books! Bookstores are so much fun!

I picked up Native Star on a lark...the cover caught my eye and the blurb on the back looked interesting so hopefully it lives up to it. I've been disappointed with a few books lately.

I like her books. She's quirky and a pretty decent read. I inadvertently read book 2 first, but it was good enough that I've gone back to book one and am about halfway through so I figured I'd pick up three while I was out.

I like Briggs and so far unlike a lot of other writers in that...genre for lack of a better word, she hasn't slide into the churning out books. I'd rather wait a bit longer for a good book than get one every other month. I've given up on Hamilton, lost interest in Charlene Harris really fast, and there's a couple others I don't read anymore because they just seem to be writing them to get the credits or whatever.

Can you introduce me to these friends? Cause I don't know a single one of my friends who wouldn't have been picking out more books and going "But don't you want this one too?" Books they are my weakness....and really I'm trying to weed OUT my collection.

And we won't even discuss how much I've already spent because the Borders that is closer to my house just went out of business and I went in like three times and dropped at least 150 dollars each time. I did buy DVDs a bunch of visits that time though (including one season of Numb3rs!!)

Also hi! *glomps on you* I've missed you! I've been really, really bad about reading eljay!

I don't think so? It's about US Soldiers who joined up with...hang on lemme grab the book. Lemme try this again. It's about a group of US Special Forces who rode against the Taliban. They secretly entered Afghanistan after 9/11 and rode to war on horses. It looked pretty good and at that price I figured why not.

It is very rare that I don't enjoy my books. :-D So much fun but oh so dangerous!

I know...I continue to be glad I didn't say what popped into my brain about the canollis the other day...I don't think my mother or my grandmother would have ever forgiven me.

ROTFL my mom tried that...to ban me from buying books...but it doesn't really work when she buys them too AND she's a librarian.

*nods* That's nice that he does that. I wish our uni was cheap so I could go back. I miss learning. Although I suppose I could just pick a subject and learn on my own.

Yeah, I don't go out much either...which is why my reading has spiked up.

It goes. I'm not working or well not teaching. They downsized all the schools in the state and pretty much every teacher that had less that three years in their current district lost their jobs. And there's no new ones. So I'm taking care of my gramma. She needed someone and I was available and we'd rather have family than a stranger. It's good days and bad days. She's there mentally--just has some health issues so can't cook and clean (or drive) but she's been getting really cranky lately which is a stresser on both of us. And there are some other family issues. So I can't really complain cause it's a whole lot easier than teaching but it's also 24/7 sometimes without a break...other than that, I'm writing and reading and just trying to stay afloat. :-)

That plastic thing would drive me nuts! Generally I read the back cover and a bit inside before I buy something. I've been burned too many times not to want to sample.

LOL I have the same problem. And I read a lot of the same genre so I often get the same issue.

I haven't used it yet...I got home at like 11pm and then I was up until 2:30 but so tired that I didn't want to write or do anything else. I'll probably skim through it over the next few days and maybe post some of the ones I like. Or even use a couple for my Writo de Mayo days.

How are you doing?

Send me your email address? By PM? and I'll give you the long involved answer to what all's going on. :-) I'm running out with my mom to go dress shopping *makes a face*

This book is from the Civil War era. Have fun reading your books!

Oh man, yes, the library book sales. And at least here? The money goes to the libraries...so really...why wouldn't you buy books?

I'm sowwy. I didn't mean to make you want to go shopping.

Yeah I'm sure you weren't laughing about it at the time. It's things like that where you're like... O.O did I really just say that?

Aww that's not fun. I didn't realize that or didn't know that. My momo is also and one of my good friends. It makes life tough at times.
