Book Note

Just finished King's new book, Wolves of the Calla and wrote a quick review for Amazon.com. I really liked it! It's a goodie-- a nice step on this long quest which creepily has taken me twenty years (or more!) to read. I read the first Dark Tower book way way back when I lived in Abbeville, La. Before my niece Sara was born, I think, which actually makes it more like 23 years. Ugh! I hate to admit that it's been that long! I re-read them all a few years ago when Andrew bought them for me. One of the things I mentioned in my amazon review was that I have not always loved every one of King's books. A few I have actually stopped reading. Nowadays, I tend to just not have the time to keep reading a book that I don't care for, that I can't get into after a few chapters. But at the same time, it's such a pleasure to read a good one, and to then share it with Andrew (who will really like this, I think). It ends a bit "cliffhanger" ish, but at least we won't have to wait too too long for the next installment.

I also bought a new cake pan, the Nordic ware sunflower pan, and a present for Nissa's Christmas party "white elephant" exchange. I am happy about the present-- it's something I thought of getting last year but dawdled too long to buy in time for the party (it's a mail order thing.) So yay! I'm not sure Andrew will be here for the party but I will have to have some fun there. Maybe even plan to spend the night if only to help with the cleanup since Aaron & Nissa usually help with our party clean ups. That's the burden of the "reserved room." :)

Anyway. Now I have to decide if I should start on one of my new books or watch one of the movies I rented. I'm thinking movie-- so I don't waste that money and turn them in unwatched. I hate doing that!
