Great collection of books. I've read quite a few of those titles and hope you enjoy them, as well.

Jeb & Dash is awesome. I've read the book and seen the stage production. You won't be disappointed!

The move is the move. I don't like moving, and I would love to think that this move will be my last, but am just too realistic to imagine this will prove to be true.

What does it say about me that I will jettison many many years' accumulation of stuff but hold onto 60+ boxes of books (post-winnowing count)? And that I am moving back to a house where I have a few thousand MORE books?

Like I don't know the answer to THAT one....

ps: Jeb and Dash better be good, is all I have to say, or there will be some maaaajor winter storms in Dee-troit this year. The weather goddess and me, we're like *that*.

I think you're a crack dealer in your real life. How else can one explain the fact that, despite many moans about how one is not supposed to add to the load of books on one's personal Mount TBR, you would go and add a compeltely irresistable book like Jeb and Dash? I've amazonned it already, and since I was there, oh what the hell...ordered 7 other books.

Don't you feel at least a LITTLE guilty about the fact that this horrifying excess of consumerism is, at base, all your fault?

And I love you for it.

Saskatchewan is terra incognita to me, although I love the name. I have only been to the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec so far. I know Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, but isn't Saskatoon in Alberta despite its name?

Oh...I'm assuming you're Canadian despite living in Detroit. Sorry for the presumption.

Hello again PT, thanks for the kind comment. I am in the midst of moving, as might have been apparent from my posts, but I thought you'd like to know that Anthony Bidulka of the Russell Quant series fame was unknown to me until I perused your library...now the entire series is on my wishlist! And I note that, out of the statutory max of 200 books on a free membership, we share 25...12.5% of your library. Much to chat about.

Hello P_T...thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries list! I see that you've not been a member for very long. I hope LT meets your expectations, whatever they were going in; and, as it has for me, expanded your ideas about social netowrking sites!

We share 20 books out of your 155 so far entered?! That's a gracious plenty! See you around and about the Thing.

Richard
