A Literary Dilemma

My Blob has a lot of books. There are books everywhere, stacked, piled and even boxed. I would guess that this is because Blob likes books. And I would be correct. Blob loves to read but this week she has bitten off a little more than she can chew.

Firstly when she was in Cornwall a couple of weeks ago, she read a book called Evermore. She didn't realise that it was a 'teen' book, but it was easy reading and she wanted the second and then the third book in the series.

Last year she read the entire series of Charlaine Harris "True Blood" novels and was looking forward to the next one to come out in paperback.

Some time ago she read all the Douglas Adams books and thought that that would be the end of that, seeing as he is dead and all.

She is also an avid reader of Robert Rankin and is always looking for further paperback by this writer to read.

She was also looking forward for the paperback version of the latest Dan Brown novel which apparently comes out on the 21st July.

So cleverly using the interweb and a lunch time jaunt to WH Smiths, she has now the following dilemma...

A fresh clean and book smelling copy of:
  • Shadowland, the next book in the 'teen' series.
  • Dead and Gone the next book in the True Blood Series.
  • And Another Thing, which is part 6 of three - a continuation to the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, but this time written skillfully by Eoin Colfer which is frighteningly like the originals.
  • Necrophenia - a Robert Rankin novel.
  • The Lost Labyrinth - shes not sure what this is but she needed to get it for the buy one get one half price deal.
She now has until the 21 July to finish all the above because thats when the Dan Brown book turns up.

Her dilemma only lasted a few minutes to be honest, she has now officially started all of them.

I hope its not me she wakes up when she has nightmares!

  1. And of course, Blob was responsible for setting me off reading the entire Terry Pratchett ensemble when she happened to mention, many, many Christmases ago, what a good read 'The Hogfather' was.

    I, too, have been have a literary dilemma this week - in that I am trying to prune my own enormous book collection. There is a large box awaiting to be rehoused - if your Blob wants a first refusal perusal, she is more than welcome.
