Another good story from Problogger. I think I must have been really jaded when I wrote the review. I stand with another foot in my mouth.  Blog sold for $95,000.

I also quilt and I had a little accident with the rotary cutter, a lethal device used to cut fabric.  It ended up taking out a chunk of my left index finger, and it went through the artery, and now I have several stitches and bandaging and am on heavy duty pain relief.  This makes reading a bit difficult and typing even more so.  Sorry if you’re waiting for reviews.  They are on their way.

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski.  I will give you spoiler review so you don’t have to read the whole 562 pages.  Looking forward to it.

On my desk waiting for review are:
Blue Genes
Hypnotic Writing
Buying Trances
Your Internet Cash Machine
The Given Day - Dennis Lehane - my hero - can hardly wait to read this one. Might have to do this one first. Ever since Mystic River, been totally in love with his writing. It’s not often that you burst into tears while reading a novel, but he’s done it to me twice. Definitely recommend anything of his without even reading this yet.

Moonlighting on the Internet - that’s what I’m doing now, and I know a lot of people are now beginning to try to find some extra income so this will probably be second on the list.
Silent Grief - and Blue Genes are among the works I’m reading for The Suicide Survival Guide.
Should start writing reviews early next week. Stay tuned.
