"Cooking For Geeks" got here today...see you in a few days...

is this a book for geeks who are attempting to cook--that is, are you saying you are one? or is it a book for persons attempting to cook for geeks--that is, a normal person attempting to cook for, say, a geeky dh?

Dis Geek will be cooking for her Geek... I just paged through it, it's going to be a fun read.

Just finished reading "the Help" by Kathryn Stockett. If you haven't read it, it's mesmerizing.

i really, really enjoyed that book. hope they don't make the movie to cutesy. i grew up in that environment and know how insidious it was.

not so much enjoying the book i am reading right now "eight days to live" iris Johanson. will finish but it is not gripping.

Baldacci is great. I think he has aromance novel out. Very different for him.

david baldacci, oh nooo you didn't! (write a danielle steele novel when you sat down to pen one summer!) baldacci writing a romance novel is like mick jagger crooning c&w tunes. i couldn't bear to see this travesty through to the end....

Puts one in mind of Rod Stewart crooning old standards.

Dog Walks Man: A Six Legged Odessey by John Zeaman.

I'm surprised how wonderfully funny and quite unexpected it is. But, then again, I love dogs so

I'm reading Deluge which is book #3 of the Petaybee series by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. I read the series a long time ago, but only found book 3 when I made my last order with Abe Books.

I ordered book 1 and 2 a couple of days ago. Great order, I got 7 books for under $12!

Just finished the Kindle edition of "Draculas", a highly entertaining gore fest by 4 collaborating authors, including J.A. Konrath.

Borders Books is going out of business. I'm saving up for a month or two, then I'll load up on my favourite authors at a big discount!
