We have a new high

I just reserved Fearless Fourteen at the library, and for the regular book I'm listed at 406 on the holds list. Now, for the large print I'm 109 and for the book on CD I'm 68. The question is - which will I get first? This is not as easy a question as you might think. Because they will get different numbers of each (my guess is they will get the most regular books and the least CDs). There's also the chance that I can nab a 'browsing book' (no holds allowed) when they put them out. Or I could just buy it, but... I dunno. I've not heard great things from the people who got ARCs. So maybe I'll just wait and see.

In other news, the Olympic Torch is going by my office today, apparently. *glances at the clock* Rather, it already has. Huh.

In further news, my office is slowly getting cleaner. It may, indeed, be the only thing I accomplish this week. Ah well. I should get hopping and get some work done today. It's actually not raining at the moment (though it's in the forecast for tonight) so that should cheer me up.

...or y'all could post a lot and distract me. That would be terrible. Just terrible. <.< >.>

Oh, and I got rid of (hopefully) that annoying BigFix and Spare Backup on my computer, and set up my Outlook to work right, including permanently importing all of the old messages. Now, as is my way, I need to wade through them, pull out the important info and store it in places, and clean out my inbox (I hate having messages in my inbox, at least having more than a dozen or so. Don't ask me why, it just is.

So. Finish cleaning up the old computer to sell, finish cleaning up my office, and... that'll be good for the day. *nods*

Hearing you complain about the weather made me laugh - my mom came in this weekend to help me garden, and rain was forecast for every single day. Sunday it was way too hot to do anything, and yesterday it rained... but we actually got quite a lot done in the afternoon/evening. And today? I'm at work while she's at home gardening. :D I feel kind of guilty but my hamstrings are yelling at me over yesterday's activities, heh.

I originally thought we were going to work outside this week, but even if we'd planned on it it's been too rainy and hot and miserable. :/ Glad to hear you got stuff done, though! I seriously need motivation in the yard work arena.

Advanced Reader's Copy - sent out to special people before the book is released for reviews and whatnot.

Evidently I am slow and did not realise that the 14th book was even on its way out. In any case I just read the excerpt on JE's website. Um, sounds... boring? so far. That said, am waiting to hear about Morelli dealing with Zook. HEE.

That was what a lot of people said - it just lacked *~zing~* I'll reserve judgment, but I'm not *OHMYGODIMUSTGETITRIGHTTHISINSTANT* or anything.
