Nice Things about New Books

We all know the excitement of opening an overseas package; and seeing a shiny new book in it. If it's a new book, then the cover will be glossy, most likely with some kind of sparkly writing. The pages will be crisp and clean, and will make a wonderful rustling noise as they turn. If it is an old book, then the cover will be soft, and of either fabric or paper. The pages will be slightly yellowed, and it will smell AMAZING. Regardless, it is a gift. And one that I have received over 500 times so far. =-D

HOWEVER,
there have been few times in my life when I was more excited to receive a book than today. You see, I'd read this story before- in its undiluted form. When it was coming chapter by chapter, week by week. Being made up on the spot. A work in progress. I was there. I witnessed it. (Although I don't know if the author remembers me properly. I only started reading it about 2/3 of the way through.)

In fact, I am still in contact with the author. We are facebook friends. (Which shows just how serious this business is meant by I, who means it businessarily and in a most serious fashion!) When I finish reading it, (likely some time tomorrow morning,) I am going to wrap it up, write a letter expounding its virtues and send it to her. She has promised to lick it for me.

Oh yeah. I am THAT cool.

So, if any other of you want this experience, then I suggest that you head on down to the link below and do likewise. Now please may I be excused from the blogosphere. I have a new book to read and we ALL know that that s#!t take priority!!!!!
