Relief is just a book away...

Oh, thank gawd!!...

The Cornelia Funke (young adults) book, Dragon Rider, came in the mail today!! I have something to read!!!!

It is made like her Inkheart book. Short and almost square.. very odd. But I am so glad to have something to read while I await other books that won't get sent until the end of the month. Those 6 books will begin my "re-reading" of the Dragonlance Series.

I'm probably odd in that the books I really like, I try to re-read every few years. Though I know the basic story, I tend to forget small stuff and so I totally enjoy them all over again. Which is why I am in the midst of trying to get my old books in hard back form.

I only get Social Security (about 620 a month) so things remain tight. I don't mind finding them as "used books" as long as they are in really good condition. And of course, that's because I know I will still read them more then once.

I still have quite a few books to replace that way. One group is the first 4 Harry Potter books. My first read of them were my brothers hard back books. By book 5, I was buying my own hard backs but that means my first four that I own are paperbacks. Finding them at a cheap price is almost impossible. They seem to be holding their price or if someone does sell their hard copies they don't knock the price down very much.

Anyway... I feel better now that I can rest on my bed with a book to read !

Oh, and in the mail my X sister-in-law sent me an article about Harry Potter .. in it there was a quiz.. did i ever mention how horrible I am at Trivia?? heh..
