Books Are Our Friends, Too

Don't you think books are the best of friends? I've just finished this, "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter," which was so good! I know most of the books coming out lately with these "tongue in cheek" takes on classics are sometimes light-footed. But Seth Grahame-Smith is a very believeable and strong writer. Of all this type of book I've read, I think he's the most literary and capable. Treat yourself to this read....it's really good.....especially if you have any interest at all in Lincoln and why he detested slavery.

I have to tell you the funniest story about this book that's coming out mid-April. I'm chomping at the bit, as they say, waiting for it. I'm the hugest Bronte lover, so this is killing me to wait on!

Anyway, I was desperate last week. I thought I had dreamed up the book or had a weird brain tremor!! Wanted to order it on my Kindle (Stella's her name, btw), so I searched on Goodreads. I was sure I had seen that one of my friends there (these friends overlap with our stitching friends, too) had mentioned the book and I had seen the cover of it.

I couldn't find the book to save my life!! I searched every book store online....no book! So, pulling my hair out with fear and frustration, I fell back on my faithful friend, Siobhan (see side bar for Blue Hen...) to tell me whether I was losing my mind or not. Thank God she came through simply by searching google. Now, why didn't I think of that??? :[ Siobhan, you are the best! It was Melissa who mentioned the book to begin with on Goodreads.

If you haven't already, do join many of us on Goodreads, which you can find via google. You can request being my friend to see what books are on my list, and to see who else is on there. It's a great way to see what we're reading, and to catch up on books and reviews we wouldn't otherwise know about.

I'm off to stitch on Carol R's round robin piece!

And, I want to especially send much love to my friends who welcomed me back to blogging with such open arms and lovingkindness. You're so special to me, and have been since the day I met you. Thank you for caring and for filling in the gaps in my insecurity. Your comments mean the world to me. Thank you so much.

Hugs and love,
Deb
