happy new book year!
Happy
New Year�.
I�m
starting out the New Year on my diary with a book review. I personally love to
read.� Duh�if you�ve read my diary even
once you can�t escape the reality of my obsession with books, reading�the
literary world..etc.� I recently bought
a novel from someone on ebay.� She so
kindly agreed to sign the inside cover and I looked forward to its
arrival.� The book was coming from
England and I expected it to take some time, but it didn�t.� It arrived in about a week�if that.� So soon that I didn�t really have much time
to wonder when it would arrive as it arrived before my wondering time could
occur.
The
book �
Writing on the Water by Jane
Slavin I
don�t want to break any copyrighting laws or I would simply list what the
backcover reads.� But suffice it say
that I read a ton of books as you the reader here knows, and this one outshines
so many others.� If you liked Bridget
Jones but thought there was no real reality to the frivolous story or you�ve
ever been so in love with someone that it almost borders obsessiveness, then
you need to read this novel. Hell you need to read this novel if you want to be
so engrossed in the characters that you can barely stop reading to shower,
sleep, urinate and or eat.� The last two
weeks in my life have included my fianc� being sick with a cold, coughing, with
a sore throat.� Two days ago he started
to cough up blood and this incident sent us to the hospital. He's ok, but has a bad case of bronchitis...I'm glad he let me take him the hospital too.� I had the wonderful forethought to take
along this book that I was midway thru.�
I then spent what should have been a miserable 4 hours in the emergency
room being totally engrossed in this novel. I barely looked up except for when
that one guy came in with a distorted and almost humorously so shoulder that he
claimed �just needs popped back into place�damn skateboard.�� That garnered a moment of distraction, but
not even the little baby next to me could distract me from the life of
fictional character Ellen Millar.� She�s
in love with Irishman, Aedan.� They meet
and have a five day unbelievable �fall in love with each other a thousand times
in five days� affair.� And then he goes
back to his homeland to his life with another woman.� The anguish of these events is written so deeply, so profoundly,
that you become her, you feel her, you feel her emotions.� She does what some would call �crazy� things,
but what do we all do for love?� What do
we think of doing?� Ellen does the
unthinkable things, she does the stalking things�.but he leads her on but yet
he doesn�t.� It�s confusing and angst
ridden and reality based�this love story I so recently finished.� This is a book that will be remembered long
after yesterday, the day I finished.�
It�s one that makes you feel all the emotions and it�s one that makes
you wish the book never ended.� My
recommendation..go find bettyslavinor
do a search for �Writing on the Water� on ebay and buy her book.� She�s the stuff real writers are made
of.� Her book rocks.� She also very kindly signed my copy �To
Kristy, hoping that all your best dreams come true.� Good luck from across the ocean, Jane Slavin�� She also never asked me to do a review.� *Jane
Slavin is an actress.� She lives in
London.� Writing on the Water is her
first novel.� Recently
I bought Tod Goldberg�s mother�s novel from years ago called �The Statue of
Liberty is Cracking Up.� By Jan Goldberg Curran and Marcy Bachmann Wetton.� I�m on page 18.� I relate.� It�s about
divorce, moving on�etc.� When I bought
the book used from amazon.com I got the following email from the seller Thanks so much for your order. � I really enjoy finding
second homes for my books! � I am mailing your book to
you�today�via U. S. Postal Service Media Mail which usually takes 7
to 14 days to arrive I hope everyone has a great 2005�including R., my son, and Chloe�ness.� -PoeticaL P.S. I
just bought the below books from ebay for $13 including the shipping.� As many of you book-buying people know this
is a mega deal as one paperback book costs $14.99 on average.� The red titles are books I already have, but
I made the purchase because for $1.09 per book for the ones I didn�t have�what
a deal!!�� If you want something on the
list of books in red please drop me an email (poeticalgirlathotmaildotcom)with your address and in the
spirit of the New Year I will mail it to you for free.� It�s as easy as that.� Please keep in mind I will fulfill requests
on a first email first win basis and will be shipped via the cheapest method
and as soon as I have the time to go to the post office.� What do you want for free? ;-) The
books I bought�. remember the RED titles are up for grabs. � The
Good Sister by Diana Diamond. Book is Hardcover in great condition. �
If you are pleased with the book and the service, I would really appreciate it
if you would leave me a 5 feedback at Amazon. � If, for some reason, you
are not satisfied and feel you cannot leave a 5, please let me know right away
so we can work together to find a solution.
