Life

My new Life

Sorry for the long silence. My blogging brain has been running on empty. Fortunately Costco has everything so I was able to restock my Life.

Costco has a little too much of everything. I am pretty sure that if you look at your Costco membership cart under an electron microscope you'll find the fine print which clearly states. You are not allowed to leave Costco without having spent a minimum of $100. Even if all you want to buy is one of our delicious deep dish pizzas. 

This had better be, as it says on the cover, The Final Volume.

So naturally while I was there I bought a book. I had already spent my mandatory $100, and then some, and was walking to the checkout area determined not to put any more ah what the heck items in my cart. But as every book lover knows, the siren call of a large open table of new books is impossible to resist. I initially picked up a new Maeve Binchy novel. I was in an Irish sort of mood. Then I saw the latest entry in the Wheel of Time saga. I wasn't going to buy it. I am so over Jordan's, and now Sanderson's increadibly long, increasingly teadious set of books. This one is suppose to be the last one, and I do hate to leave a collection unfinished. So I bought it.

Sigh.

I was up until 1am reading online summaries of the first 13 books in the series just in preparation for reading this book. Now I am sitting her at my desk scowling at the picture of the book cover on my screen. I should have bought a New Life at Costco instead of the same old thing because I know, later today I'll be jumping down this 907 page rabbit hole.
