Or, You Can't Blog All The Time" note - this reminded me of the Aesops Fables in the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" series. (Okay, I'm weird).<br /><br />At any rate, since my mom wanted to read the entire trilogy as well (and it would have delayed sending this one on to Reffie), we got all three books - if you need to pick my brain for any details, I'll certainly oblige. You've got my e-mail.<br /><br />As for BonyMike - I have no idea what's going on there, but I'll try to give Reffie a gentle push in his direction.00dozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704098179400766578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302773627138264861.post-89785235640128663032010-11-14T18:08:54.797-05:002010-11-14T18:08:54.797-05:00Identity crisis?

A word of advice... take notes before you send the book off to Reffie. I'm having a hard time remembering the book well enough to answer Bryan's questions! (Brain like a sieve... another reason I have an identity crisis.)<br />Side note to Reffie... send it on to Mike when you're done so he'll quit his bitchin'!

I could have won it if I wanted to but I would have to read the first book of the trilogy and then of course read the traveling on which would lead me to the third and i just don't have that kind of time. I really can't commit to 3 books right now. I have my blogs, facebook and the holidays coming up. Not to mention work and laundry. My God it wouldn't be like winning anything would it?

But don't despair, dear Linda, there will be other chances. In the meantime, I really think you would enjoy the first book, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". Check out your local library or book store - it is worth the read, but it is not necessary to read it before the second.00dozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704098179400766578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302773627138264861.post-51821943459139201452010-11-11T15:35:48.794-05:002010-11-11T15:35:48.794-05:00I knew what it was and I could have won if I'd...I knew what it was and I could have won if I'd just seen this earlier.
