The Bookaholic

Ho boy.  Rachel is in all kinds of trouble in this book.  A demon with Alzheimer’s shows up.  She’s got another demon owing her a favor, which is definitely not as good as it sounds (and it doesn’t sound good).  And good ol’ Al shows up again.

There’s more than the usual angst between her and Ivy.  Jenks is his usual pixie self (but I’m worried about Matalina).  Ceri gets scary.  (Ha ha!)

Oh… and the Focus?  Yeah.  Interlanders have figured out it wasn’t destroyed and Weres are being murdered (covered up to look like suicide).  Wanna know who’s killing them?  (Nah, I’m not telling.)

Trent is going to get married to that nasty Ellsabeth woman.  What a creep.

Piscary is out of jail.  Not good.  But it works out in the end.

And Harrison killed off one of my favorite characters!  Yo, there’d better be a damn good reason for that and I’ll be waiting on the next book to discover that reason (because the one you garner from this book is a little on the lame side… in my opinion).

Yes, one last thing… don’t go down that same road Laurell K. Hamilton is going down.  Sex is not a necessary part of the book, ok?  It’s distracting and breaks the flow of the book.  Thank you.

Lawsy, lawsy, lawsy! I registered nearly 200 books on Bookcrossing this weekend, then donated them all to the Schenectady County Public Library. I suspect most of them will show up in their next book sale. Wherever they wind up (on a shelf or at the book sale) is good… people will have access to them. And that’s the whole point.

My goal is to release at least a dozen books for every one that comes into the house… at least until I reach equilibrium. Yeesh, have I got books! This is not as easy as it sounds because books sneak into the house. I’m sure they have little teensy feet like Ballycumber, the Bookcrossing mascot. They climb in windows when no one is looking. It’s the only way to explain the plethora of books that threaten to take over my living space. (Books are one of the reasons why I need such a huge house.)

Reading the latest Kim Harrison book, A Fistful of Charms, that I received Saturday from Booksfree.com. Booksfree is the Netflix of books. Sure, I could get books at the library instead of paying to have them mailed to my house. But I never seem to get to the library. There’s a branch right up the street from my soon-to-be-ex-job, but do I ever stop in after work? No… I just want to get home. There’s a branch next to the bank branch I generally visit, and less than a block from my chiropractor. Do I ever stop in over there? No. Sheesh. Maybe I need a note in my car to remind me.
