maderrSo I am utterly enamored of this book. And I do mean enamored. *_* I've been putting off buying it for ages cause reading excerpts and all I sensed my doom.
I was so doomed, in fact, that after finishing that one I insisted upon trekking all the way to Kenwood tonight to obtain the other two.
Unfortunately, I failed to check the temperature. It was a fuckton colder this evening than this morning. Typing this is hard, 'cause my fingers are totally frozen.
Ah, well. I am home victorious, and will likely be good for nothing until I've read both new acquisitions. I apologize for slacking (though, really, I have not been slacking. It's just that, these days, much of my writing does not get posted. This saddens me, but it's the necessary evil of working slowly toward living off my writing).
Though, in searching for my books, I came up once more across an old pet peeve, but one that is sort of inevitable in the book business. I tried B&N first, they did not have them. But there Gabaldon's books were under Fiction & Lit. In Borders, when I couldn't find them, just on a last whim I checked Romance - and lo. I can see why bookstores would not know which precisely to pick, but I've had this problem before. I really wish there was a clearer way to organize certain books, cause I really fracking hate having to search all over kingdom come or worse, track down a bloody lazy clerk who doesn't actually want to do anything -__-
But! Books found ^___^ Now to go thaw and read.
