Games, books and more books.

[navygreen]

So I smoked Philip in the first round of our new trivia game. I beat him in the second game as well, but it was a separation of only one turn for that one. He's read the books too, just not as many times or with *quite* as much enthusiasm as I have. ;-)

I received my book in the mail today from yorkybar! I was so excited, and I was very happy to get it so soon - it only took a week, and that was from England! It is soooooo funny, just as I knew it would be. I've read cleolinda's "15 Minutes" on Jurassic Park, Titanic and - of course - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Sorcerer's Philosopher's Stone. They are ALL fabulous, and I couldn't contain my laughter (though Philip and the boys kept giving me looks like I was deranged). I highly, highly recommend her book, especially if you've already loved her stuff in m15m. You won't regret it. Thank you again, Lizzy, for nabbing me a copy - you are the bestest! :-)

Philip and Ryan are in the living room playing X-Box, and I think I'm going to rearrange some things in the office. Our tax return is coming very soon, and with it, we plan to get another bookcase or two (though how much room I can make with rearranging will help us decide). We have board games out to WaZoo, and I've got to figure out a better place for them, as they are taking four entire shelves themselves! I've also got lots of new books needing homes:

• the aforementioned Movies in Fifteen Minutes, by Cleolinda Jones


• A Cat's Night Before Christmas, by Henry Beard


• Catmas Carols, by Laurie Loughlin


• Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook, by Shel Silverstein


• Eragon, by Christopher Paolini


• Eldest, also by Christopher Paolini

And I intend to have more books very soon, so we need more space!

Welp, I'd better get back to clearing off my desk.
