Whoo hoo! But also, I wake up at the crack of dawn, and the boys sleep till seven most days. so on a good day I have an hour and a half to two hours before any of them stir. I am turning into my father! Now I KNOW why he woke up at 430 every morning!BabelBabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467487618830618571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-52313979413030003932007-06-21T03:58:00.000-04:002007-06-21T03:58:00.000-04:00You know the fact that Inspector Ian Rutledge is u...You know the fact that Inspector Ian Rutledge is unheard of by you just shows how little attention you pay to me. I told you about A Test of Wills –which is I believe his first book and really good – eight years ago. I had picked it up randomly in a book story when I ran into Professor Mooney who (being Mooney) spotted it in my hand, knew the whole story by heart and recommended it to me. I read it and recommended it to you… twice I believe. Humph.<BR/><BR/>P.S. – Your site is unblocked in Thailand!

I didn't realise it was written by Val McDermid. It can be pretty gory to watch sometimes but it's always gripping.<BR/><BR/>And I was thinking the same thing as MsCellania when you said you woke up, read 3 chapters of a book, made a cup of tea and returned to bed.

You know what that means: It has to be compared to <I>Possession</I>, which is never a good thing for any book.<BR/><BR/>That said, though, you should give it a go--it's a good time.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753481035768736548noreply@blogger.com
