for being so quiet. I don’t even have a good excuse; I’m perfectly fine. Well, I’m the extremely tired most women get when they are newly pregnant, but other than that, I’m perfectly fine. I can even brush my teeth without loosing everything down in my belly!
I just haven’t had much to say. I’m so overjoyed/overwhelmed by this that I can’t think of much to talk about except the baby. You have no idea how much a shock this was. Yes, we were trying, but we had been trying for a year. I had given up. I honestly thought something was – wrong – down there and was, honestly, not expecting this. Tis thrown me for a loop, it has. I’m just so…happy.
And so far, the curse of the first pregnancy has not reared it’s ugly head. I gulped down over half of The Observations by Jane Harris this weekend to finish it Sunday. And I also gulped down the latest Fables graphic novel over the weekend as well (SO good). I’ve now started An Unpardonable Crime by Andrew Taylor, also known as The American Boy. I saw his name mentioned at Bookgirl’s wonderful site and looked him up. This is a little bit out of my norm; I don’t usually read the mysteries/thrillers genre, but this looked really good, so I thought I’d try it. I’ve been looking for something lately, to read, and I haven’t been able to put my finger on exactly what that is. Something gothic, mysterious, romantic…sort of like The Historian, which I read last year and LOVED. Rebecca came close. Hopefully this will too.
I do plan on reviewing Snakes on a plane, but hopefully for Estella (if I can get my butt in gear). Hopefully look for it there!
Yay! Glad you're reading. I have Arabian Nights sitting here, but all I can bring myself to do (other than write papers) is watch Scrubs. *cry*
And I think Reese already reviewed Snakes on a Plane for Estella. Will let ya know if she hasn't.
Congrats on your pregnancy!!!
Fables is indeed excellent. It is one of the comics I started buying with issue one simply because of the fantastic James Jean covers and I love this series more and more with each issue. Have you seen the incredible Fables OGN that is coming out soon: 1001 Nights of Snowfall?:

It has an outstanding array of artists illustrating tales by Willingham. I cannot wait until this comes out.
Your excitement just shines through!
So happy for you guys.
And, you must tell us what you think of the Andrew Taylor book. Kimbofo really liked his trilogy and I want to check it out unfortunately my library doesn't have it. Hmmm, this may require a looksie at Amazon
(((ANDI))) SO sorry about Zach
Thanks Carl! I love Fables. The drawing is amazing and really complements the story. Sometimes I just gasp in awe at the artwork. I can't wait for 1001 Nights of Snowfall, it looks to be the most beautiful yet!
Iliana, it's that obvious huh? I had no idea this was a trilogy!! So far I'm enjoying it, now that I'm starting to get into it. A little slow to start but it's getting interesting.
You must be a day late delivering! My birthday is April 27th! I'm so happy for you!
Your excitement shines through on your posts – I'm so very happy for you!
Glad to hear you're still reading though, as I'm quickly depending on you for good reading suggestions!
Oh, and guess what? A very kind fellow BookCrosser sent me an ARC of 'The Thirteenth Tale' – I can't wait to read it and am just in love with the cover itself.
I want to read the Historian one of these days! But if you haven't read Peter Hamill's "Forever" I think you might like it. It made me want to go to New York City – sort of – I never have had a desire to go there. But this book mysterious, romantic, not quite sure about gothic, but I would have to add magical and extraordinary!
