I need to make a list of them all so I don't forget when choosing a new book..."


That's the advantage of a physical pile of books, you can seem them sulking
They haven't mastered the electronic sulk

Include me out!"


We've got the vegetarian option, yak cheese and spinach salad
Contains hardly any gastropod


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Its the spinach im objecting to here. That stuff is the excretion of a slime deity!

Jim | 21813 comments I thought the only person who ever ate it was Popeye

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I love it. I have the muscles to prove it! ;)

Available for pre-order, better get the book page up.

Jim | 21813 comments Just watched something strange happen.
I don't sell in the US. Like it's a decent month if I sell a book or two.

On February 25th somebody bought Justice 4.1.
One February 26th somebody bought The Flames of the City
One February 28th somebody bought Learning a Hard Trade and Dead man riding East(Saturday, day off, weather probably bad)
On March 1st they bought Swords for a Dead Lady
Then on March 2nd they bought The Cartographer's Apprentice: Leave Them Wanting More

The fact that there has been no duplication or anything, it does look as if somebody has just bought and read their way through the lot in a long weekend!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Fast reader!


message 3312: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments And last night they bought war 2.2

Last night I was dreaming that the reader in question is the head buyer for a Federal reading progamme encouraging young men to take literacy seriously.

Knowing my luck, it's more likely that my reader is in jail in Arkansas and I'll get blamed for assisting the inevitable jail-break

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments That's not very sexist of you.

Couldn't possibly be a woman, eh?


message 3314: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Women go to jail too, Patti!


message 3315: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Exactly, Kath.


message 3316: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Oh, I see - not very sexist. Haven't had a coffee yet! ;)


message 3317: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments When Patti's read the book she'll realise that some women are probably organising the jail break!


message 3318: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Women are always bettr at organising things, Jim.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments How is your teenager at organising getting out of bed on time?


message 3320: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments 18 yers and she's still useless. Women, eh?

I know, they tell me :-)

Define 'on time'

She doesn't miss the bus...


message 3324: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments My daughter always catches the bus.

Of course, I've occasionally had to chase it for up to five miles to catch it...

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Saw lambs gambolling today! In celebration, I made lamb shanks for dinner.

Yummy!


message 3326: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments The perfect accompaniment to lamb is mint sauce

I suspect most shepherds are great believers in it :-)


G J (Gaff to my friends) Reilly | 1836 comments Mmm, mint sauce. It's got to be the proper stuff though, not the over vinegared 'condiment' variety.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments So how are your holdouts doing Jim?


message 3329: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Still six of them, still holding out.
Other than that we're about three quarters of the way through


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Lovely piece of artwork from one of our talented group members :)

Jim | 21813 comments Very nice indeed!


message 3332: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Very three dimensional. :)


message 3333: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Yes, it brings them out


G J (Gaff to my friends) Reilly | 1836 comments Not baaaad at all!

Tim | 8539 comments Nice, he said, sheepishly.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Your puns are getting my goat.


message 3337: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments at least it's a change from yak yak yakkity yak


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments What would a sheep/yak cross look like?


message 3339: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments A shack?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Or a yeep? That sound like the yelp of surprise you make when you see one...


message 3341: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Ah yes. The elk of surprise. A cousin of the easily startled moose, I believe. Rarely seen outside of captivity.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Its just so easy to sneak up on it...


message 3343: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments My post above has reminded me of something that used to be on TV during commercial breaks...

Let me check YouTube.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Won't play for me, cuz my connection is shite. You try it.

I just watched the woodchuck video, and they didn't chuck any wood. Thats false advertising if you ask me!


message 3346: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments The pisstake ones are good, if I remember correctly. Will have to watch them when I've got wifi.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Jim | 21813 comments You've got to admit that my author thread is blossoming into a fully fledged nature programme!


message 3350: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I'd say your thread is sadly lacking in beaver.
