At least. I usually just laugh.<br /><br />We haven't had any kids strip lately, just pee and puke. Stripping might be preferable.

Are you really going to read Out of Egypt? I quit reading her vampire books because the last one I read was more theology than story -- Mmenoc the Devil -- I hated that book.<br /><br />teachergirl: I thought the same thing about The Postmistress -- why was the book even called that when the real story was about the woman who reported the Blitz. The postmistress' story wasn't very much of the book and didn't even seem that important to the plot either.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066257241391122732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-44568671618691670062010-04-10T07:53:30.399-04:002010-04-10T07:53:30.399-04:00Sorry about the email address.

Sarah Blake could have written an entire novel about the women who reported the blitz and the war in Europe and had a story. The part about the postmistress not doing her job - I thought it would be more than it was. I finished it, hoping the whole story would come together somehow differently. There are a few nice plot twists, but when you have to write an afterword to explain what and why you've done, I don't know if you have effectively written a novel. I suggest you read it and let me know what you think. However, after reading what you've brought home from the library, I think I've got a long wait ahead of me.teachergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655615013367705872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-75077345115768253472010-04-09T22:48:06.644-04:002010-04-09T22:48:06.644-04:00I'm laughing my head off at the thought of you...I'm laughing my head off at the thought of you chasing a naked toddler around the library, arms laden with books. Whacky books, no less.<br /><br />You can give me the potted version of the new Elizabeth Gilbert because although I'm curious, I won't be reading it. I know I'll only want to slap her again if I do.
