Last week I was reading a book that made me laugh a lot. It's called "Sweater Quest"; the author is a writer who knits as a hobby. She'd decided that in the space of a year she'd knit a fiendishly difficult sweater and write about it. She'd met another writer whose subject was knitting at a convention and stayed in touch with her through the internet. The author contacted the other woman about getting some of the necessary yarn. At one point she headed off to stay with this other woman and her husband is concerned. The section of the book had her husband asking if she knew the woman. The author replies "I met her once. She sent me yarn. Besides, if she kills me and buries me in the backyard, she'll probably blog about it."
At which point I was chanting, "one of us, one of us".
I just started reading Moby Dick. I'm actually enjoying it!
Hec, if you have not yet ordered from Amazon UK, check out and see if whatever you are ordering is available from Amazon Canada. No guarantees, but much of Amazon UK is available on Amazon Canada, and the shipping is reasonable compared to UK, and the conversion costs - well I don't know seemed reasonable at the time.
Oh hey! Dear Polter-Cow! If I PayPal you, would you be willing to pick up a copy of Changeless and have Gail Carriger sign it for me?
Oh! Absolutely, of course! And then mail it to you? Or are you going come pick it up? Yeah, you should do that; it's more fun.
While I would dearly LOVE to come pick it up, that's not happening any time soon. So yes, please mail it to me.
I was up until 1:30 last night finishing
The Girl Who Played with Fire.
I think it was even better than
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Now on to the second volume of
The Hunger Games.
I enjoyed both of those books so much, megan. I loved how what was set up as the
abuse
in the first book was not what I had anticipated. And I love how fierce Liz is.
I have not been able to get into the first chapter of Dragon. Should I really give it another try?
