Read from December 11 to 13, 2011

Last year around the holidays I put The Stupidest Angel on a hold-request through the library and waited for a copy to be delivered to my local branch. I love Chrisopher Moore and was excited to read this over Christmas vacation. It never came.

Whenever I logged onto my library account it always stated the book was 'in transit', meaning I should get a delivery confirmation very soon. I waited and waited but it was never delivered. After the holidays I spoke with a lady down at my branch and was told there must have been a glitch in their retrieval systems. Arrghh!

Around this same time, near the end of 2010, I made a reading resolution for 2011: I would read no more than 1 book by the same author. This is the only characteristic my 2011 books share. They are each written by a different author. It's exposed me to alot of new authors (new to me) and has kept my reading list fresh and interesting. The bad news is I had to wait an entire year for TSA.

Masochistic? Maybe. All year I looked forward to reading Moore's 'Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror'. TSA was very entertaining. Moore's inclusion of characters from previous novels made the story endearing. This was a quick read. Always funny and at times actually terrifying in a horror-suspense way, TSA was definitely worth the wait.
