Sophie, even if you come over empty-handed, you'd be welcome anytime, but I will happily accept the popcorn! (I don't drink sodas.) And we'll watch some Love Boat reruns, too.

MelodyGirl & lp13—this would make an excellent gift to yourself.

Corey—after I read Bruen’s essay, I felt like I’d been punched in the gut (but in a good way). His prose is so unapologetically in your face. Love it.

Shell–hilarious. I think I can figure out what “forking” means but you might have to explain “footy.” Football? Or football that really means soccer?

Robert Crais seems to be everywhere at the moment ~ not that I mind, of course. Sounds like an excellent read, PCN. And this may surprise you, but I’ve actually heard of hurling ~ there’s an Irish import on our AFL footy team who was a hurler before coming here. Legend has it that his first day at training, he turned to someone and said, “When’s the forking hittin’ start?” {I don’t think I need to explain “forking”?}

Yeah, this one I have to read. I love Bruen’s work. Prolific, profane, original, dark, and often hilarious (when he’s not tearing out your heart with both hands.)

Oh, I hadn’t heard of this, PCN. My fave authors all in one place? Sounds fab! Gonna put it on my wish list and give to BF. I think he’d also want to read it after I do.

You certainly got me curious about this book with your review, PCN. I’m going to have to take a look at this. Thanks.

It gets that cold where you are? Isn’t it suppose to be all sunshine and oranges?

I’ve never slept with dogs on my bed but I call hubby my human hot water bottle. (TMI?)

I think you’ll like it, Elizabeth! Or at least find it informative.

Oh gosh, if I lived closer, I’d be over there in a flash, especially if you throw in pie and/or hot chocolate. I loved Columbo. “And just one more thing…”

I liked how Bruen held nothing back. He got all up in his own business and just put it out there.

If you can’t figure out who scared me after you finish, I’ll tell you.
