The decorations at our back!

Yikes, it's Saturday and I'm supposed to blog if I can't find a fill-in. So, okay, an eventful week to recap!

First we had our annual Scary Spaghetti Book Club at the Shilhanek house in Garland. LET ME TELL YOU, you needed to be brave to sit and EAT in this decorated to the gills house! Mike S. took his passion for scary stuff and over the years has a collection that is UNBELIEVABLE. Plus it moves, moans, walks, talks and is generally extremely frightening. Even going to the bathroom takes courage! TMI I'm sure, you'll have to meet us in person to get all the "gory" bathroom details!

THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER by Angie Fox

So, if you don't believe me, check out our photos on Flickr...even my son was impressed! And you know it takes allot to impress guys when talking spooky stuff! BTW, the food was as always amazing and very fattening! The wine helped too *grin*

Well, we had the scary atmosphere and our call-in guest was Angie Fox author of THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER

But the best for the week is my glomming of Jodi Thomas. I've only recently discovered her books, say since 2006, so I've got a HUGE back list to pick up and read.

TALL, DARK AND TEXAN, not to be confused in any way with the Diana Palmer romances.

Pat Cat has been helping me find all the books and it's so much fun to sit down with a collection from an author and just dive into that particular author's world. Especially when you'll get glimpses of characters from one book in another and start to wonder "how are they doing?" Yes, I might be strange but I believe well drawn characters continue outside the confines of their pages. Really, they do!!

So I've glommed all the Whispering Mountain books including the final one in the series, TALL, DARK AND TEXAN coming out November 4th (thank YOU, Jodi) which you better not miss! Pre-order it now either online or call your store! I'm serious, this one is SO good!!! Yeah, and the cover doesn't hurt!

Next up was the "Lottery Brides." We found all but the third one and re-reading the excerpt in the back of number 2 was NOT helpful for my mental state. I hope Pat finds A TEXAN'S LUCK really really soon! Then I have the McLain series. I know I own some of those, just where in my collection, I'm not sure. So like I said, I've got some glomming to do!

So, if you've got a minute tell us, do you glom? Even familiar with the term?

See ya on line!
