I'm trying to organize my Kindle. If the Kindle was a paperback book, it'd be toast right about now. I'd have burned the damn thing for being recalcitrant and stupid and downright evil. I know it sneers at me when I have to go back to the beginning and start over. They need to invent a way to open another window when you're filing books. Or something. It's all very ...
AAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!!
So, here's to you Southern Comfort (that's my Kindle) - pffffffffffffffffttt!

Dear Carolyn,
I have to eat crow. Or at least, eat this lovely slice of pumpkin bread while admitting I was wrong. Vampire Academy was better than I originally thought and I finished it in a rather obsessive glom. So I apologize Ms. Richelle Mead (or Michelle Read) for dissing your book. It was a compulsive read at the end and what can be better than that?
(My pumpkin bread was pretty good though.)
I don't feel a great desire to read Book 2 right now and I'm torn between starting any one of the 400 books you've stashed in our Kindle or buying some Meg Cabot. One of my Goodreads authors has been glomming the Cabet backlist and it looks like it might be fun. Then again, I do have a Heyer waiting and there's that girl with a dragon tattoo that everyone seems to love.
In happy news, I got the mock-up cover for Sugar B's Back in Town which was awesome! I like the Angel Lane cover but I love Sugar's cover. When it's a go, I'll post a picture so I can cock my doodle doo over it.
Romance books are nothing if not a complete pleasure for hot men on the covers.
Otherwise, my cold is lingering, I'm malingering and any minute I'm going to have to pee. My bladder is the size of a crushed raisin right now but that's Old Fart TMI.
Have a great day dear.
Lori

Dear Lori
Thank you for the talk last night. It sure did help get my thoughts straight about Cam's background. You are and always will be, my idea lady. :-)
I forwarded you an email from Amazon; your lusty, trusty Kindle is about to get an upgrade. :-D
I've been so twitchy today, don't know why. Perhaps it isn't important why. The result is I've been windowshopping for books when I can. Found another freebie, but it's a mystery so don't know if you'll want to read it. It sounded like a great character study though, assuming the writing is up to par.
I'm reading Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas. I was curious about Derek Craven when he was briefly mentioned in Sebastian's book, The Devil in Winter and thrilled when I discovered he had a book of his own. Once I started reading, I discovered there was a previous book about a woman named Lilly. All these damn books are intertwined, almost incestuous, lol. Still, they can all stand alone, so I'll continue along, hopping about like a drop of water on a hot griddle. At least it's exercise - sort of. As much as I'll ever get anyway. :-)
Are you allowed near the computer yet? Perhaps you'll never read this. Oh woes ...

Dear Carolyn,
I seem to be on a contemporary, chick-lit glom right now. I think it matches my current mood and life.
Are we what we read?
The book you got that you said I'd like, Life From Scratch, is pretty good. It's a good choice after The Love Goddess Cooking School. I'm really enjoying these woman driven stories with a touch of cooking and female growth. I think you're right that the difference between chick-lit and romance is that the chicks are about the heroine's journey where romance is a part but not the center and romance has the lurve asthe core of the story.
I like me some romance but I love me the chickies.
I'm really looking frward to either next pay day or deposit of my tax refund check. Our Kindle account is going to have many added books and all will have to do with food somehow. I expect you'll forgive me. You might even read one or two and enjoy them. But I have a list going and it lengthens by the day.
One annoyance though. A book I've been wanting to get: The School of Essential Ingredients is $12.99 for Kindle edition and about $5.00 for paperback. I don't get it. And I haven't gotten it. In either form. This agency pricing is driving me bat-shit.
Well it's cold as a witches tit today (I question that analogy) and my boy Clark is coming over tonight. I'm thinking of my Mother's tuna casserole (comfort food), a fire (comfort) and something chocolate. Doesn't that sound like a perfect menu for loads of conversation, laughter and life changing fun?
