Thursday Thoughts #12
another book quote. Actually several quotes cobbled together...
" Your eyes look sunken and bloodshot. Did you sleep last night?"
"What is this thing you speak of-sleep?"
"Sleep is God - Go, worship"
From Death Masks, another of the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher.
I made the mistake of walking into a book shop last Saturday, just to have a look, see what's new.
I walked out with two new books, (not sure when I'll find time to read them), turned out to be quite an expensive "look".
What did I buy?
A new Kathy Reichs, Bones Never Lie, a Tempe Brennan forensic mystery
and
Life or Death by Michael Robotham.
I've never read any of Michael Robotham's books, but this was recommended to me by Mimsie, and when I read the blurb on the back of the book, I had to give it a try.

I try to stay out of bookstores.
ReplyDeleteI have put a ban on bookstores for the moment.
ReplyDeleteAnd just discovered a short story by Jim Butcher. When my ban is lifted I will explore further.
Bookshops are very tempting.
ReplyDeleteMerle..........
I've just read 'Bones never Lie' and enjoyed it. I think I've read one of Robothom's and since it's not in the chuck out pile, I've put it aside for a re-read. That's always a good sign.
ReplyDeleteDelores; me too, but I had some time before I needed to be at the bus stop.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; yes, I violated my bookstore ban. Which story?
Merle; way too tempting.
JahTeh; I'm looking forward to Bones Never Lie and it's good to hear the Robotham is worth a second read.
A short story called Something Borrowed in My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding. Light weight - but fun.
ReplyDeleteSleep is God, go worship.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, that's awesome.

I can never walk into a bookstore an just have a look. I always just come back out with a armful.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; thanks, I'll see if the library has it.
ReplyDeletePearl; isn't it just!
Lee; I used to come out with armfuls, now I can't carry that much and the bank balance won't stand for it either.
Not hear of Jim Butcher before so may give him a try. Always looking for new authors and you and I have similar taste.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the quotes re sleep, something that is so important to us to keep healthy.
I am still enjoying Robotham's book and strangely enough I also bought "Bones Never Lie" which I will read next and then James Patterson's "Private India".
