Fortunately, we just moved close to the most populous part of our state and our new county has a *lot* of branches. I don't mind driving around to find books, at this point. I'd like to get to know the other libraries! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-52301589881748824092013-06-20T19:18:00.084-05:002013-06-20T19:18:00.084-05:00Ouch to the summing up of that branch library'...Ouch to the summing up of that branch library's collection!

This week . . . nada, so far. There's a link to Simon's tour dates, above. I can't go because we're working on the Vburg house and will have to dash up to Nashville to bring home some furniture from D & S's house before they move to New Jersey, but maybe I'll get to see him when the son & DIL drag us into NYC (probably next year) That would be cool. Or, maybe you and I could dash up there for grins, someday.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-87240428835991758212013-06-18T15:25:42.394-05:002013-06-18T15:25:42.394-05:00I guess we just ended up with boring old rain, las...I guess we just ended up with boring old rain, last night, because I never heard a thing. Or, maybe I just slept well for once. LOL You know how I can tell if it rains overnight? Some of the mulch gets washed out of our garden. Grrrr. Such a pain.<br /><br />Simon's new book is great, of course. We didn't actually talk about New Orleans, this time. I think he's keeping his tour brief for personal reasons. Just a guess. I know he has something important to do in July. ;)<br /><br />The Ocean at the End of the Lane is awesome. How cool that you're getting a signed copy! I know you'll love it. I thought there was much more meaning to TOatEotL than I discerned from the other Gaiman books I read. You will know what I mean when you get to those little tidbits of wisdom. <br /><br />LOL I love filling up your wishlist!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-27354428188170795142013-06-18T13:12:16.796-05:002013-06-18T13:12:16.796-05:00You're going to meet for coffee some guy named...You're going to meet for coffee some guy named SLASH?!?! <br /><br />Looks like 3 awesome book came into your life this week.

Just not the hurricane kind ;) Send some rain my way if it comes to visit you!<br /><br />Simon's new book sounds so good!!!! I'm going to have to get it when I see it!! Sounds like he didn't listen to you about coming to New Orleans, eh? :p I'm SO excited about Ocean at the End of the Lane!!!!! I'm sure you could guess that ;) I should get my copy tomorrow. I preordered it ages ago through an indie store that's offering singed copies! Hooray :D I found the prologue and first two chapters last night online and got sucked in immediately! I may have to buy the ebook tonight so I can start it immediately. And the memoir looks really good too!
