5.28: Bookish
I've been a little obsessed for the last couple weeks. In spite of guests, kids out of school and all the cooking and cleaning that go along with a holiday, I've been reading close to a book a day from Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.
It all started so innocently. I had read a couple of her books, and they were good, fun reads. Then I had a gift card that I need to use up from Border's, and I didn't have anything specific on my, so I ordered a box set of the first three books in the series. By book two, I was hooked. I hit two Half Price Books, snatching up every copy I found in the series, knowing I'd get to them soon, but book five was elusive. I grumbled and complained and practically threw my credit card at the cashier in my haste to pay full price for my missing link.
I made it to book nine before I had another gap in my collection. I'm currently twitching and irritated while I wait for it to arrive in the mail, having struck out at the full price bookstore today. While I was at it, I found discounted versions of the last three books I'm missing, and threw those in my cart, too.
Now I just have to find something to keep me occupied for the next 3-7 days while I wait for the postman to knock on my door.
