Nope, not back…just got here. They have computers in Germany, too! And of course, I’m addicted. I think Patrick has Boy Toy, so I can read that when I get back.

Alkelda, I’d rather sign it in person! Hold on to it, and I promise I’ll make it up your way some time in the not-too-distant future.

Lady S, I’m so glad you ordered all those! Whee! You’re right–I’m not really sorry at all.

Judy, back from Germany already? Did you at least have time to eat some fabulous German chocolate? (And of course I agree about The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl. Wait until you read Boy Toy!

I know I’m a little late, but did want to say that I finished Fan Boy and Goth Girl…great book!

I read an adult book on the airplane, but I cannot remember the name of it. Think it was by Phyllis Whitney.

Sorry about giving you more books to want to read.

One of the less sincere apologies in the history of apologies. And rightly so - pushing loved books is one of life’s great pleasures! (Have ordered the first two JS books and Eat, Pray, Love.)

Hey Robin!
I can be a reading machine as long as I’m not trying to do the 48 hour book challenge AND potty-train a girlie. Now, I’m almost finished with your book. Well done, Brande. I’ll have to send you a bookplate or something to sign.

Ok I can’t wait! Great Job! I literally couldn’t put it down. That’s like the most reading I’ve done since Eclipse! *hug*

Thank you, Dylan! I really appreciate that. No sequel planned, but I think you’ll like the one that’s coming next!

Lady S, you’re right–being a beta reader is such a sweet gig. Especially if it’s for a friend you know can write! Sorry about giving you more books to want to read. Welcome to my world every Tuesday–my shelves just get more and more overloaded because I want to read what everyone else is!

Christen, looking forward to reading the Friday list. I have the feeling you’ll be setting a new standard for us to admire and emulate.

Finished your book Robin! I LOVED it I think it might actually be one of my favorite books now! Have you thought about writing a sequel? I need more!

I’m halfway through Steven Brust’s Dzur, which is, I think, the second adult book I’ve read this year (not including literary criticism etc.). It’s long enough since I’ve read the last one in the series that I’m struggling to remember the set-up, but it’s wonderful. Can’t believe he can still manage to do something so new and different with each book.

I’m also beta reading for a friend, and my BF, which I love doing! Such a great gig to get.

And my list of books to acquire somehow keeps growing with every entry you make! I’d never heard of Jordan Sonnenblick, but that’s a must, clearly, - and had forgotten that Catherine Gilbert Murdock’s sister had written a book that I thought at the time sounded good. What a family!
