Bet Me

I stayed up until 2 a.m. reading Jennifer Crusie’s new book, “Bet Me.” I would have stayed up later, but my Prince Charming got up and asked why in the world was I still up at 2 a.m.? So I went to bed.

I woke up at 7 a.m. and although I really truly considered going back to bed after Prince Charming went to work, I picked up the book. I finished it by 10 a.m., just in time for the kids to wake up.

Excellent book. I just really, really like her books. I enjoy them as a reader, just to read. But I still get surprised by the depth of her talent as a writer. Like when she is describing her character’s mother who was nagging Min yet again….

“Min crossed the thick gold carpet and detoured around the dark-haired bundle of exasperation that had given birth to her.”

What a great description.

  1. Love it! Beautiful new digs. You know, all the cool kids play with TypePad.
    Except…can you figure out how to post a picture in your blog? Not it the photo album…

  2. Love the new digs! But I have some questions for the tour guide (there is going to be a tour, isn’t there?) A:When did you decide to become “the mommy” again? I thought life was just going to happen. B:I can’t believe you stayed up late and didn’t play with me online. C:When will your links go up, and will I have to duke it out with AGK for top spot?

  3. Linda, Your new home is lovely!
    What made you decide to move? and am i going to be the only one not on typepad?

  4. Of course you have to duke it out with me, SDH! ;)

    Linda…why would you move away from your own site? Weirdo. Still, it looks nice – but don’t you have to pay for this one???
