RELEASE NOTES:

for morsecode :)

The wislist book box arrived today. I am so excited to get this book because I loved The Eyre Affair and Lost in a Good Book.
I already have plans to send this book off as an RABCK after I've read it.
Thanks so much Abbynormal!

I finished reading this book yesterday. Its a Thursday Next book so of course I loved it. I love Fforde literary references (one of my favorites in this book was Agent Godot, which I caught the first time he is mentioned at the roll call), his fabulous sense of humor, and his awe-inspiring imagination.
I love the epiphanies that I have as a reader of Fforde's books -- catching literary references, figuring out clues and how things fit together -- as well as that sense of having my mind boggled (in a good way).
I can't really explain my reaction to this book without saying that after reading Lost in a Good Book, I read The Big Over Easy as part of a book ring. A great portion of my sense of discovery while reading this book was focused on Caversham Height: realizing the connection between that fictional novel and the new nursery crime series and seeing how Jack Spratt and Thursday are able to instigate its development into that series.

After I started reading the Thursday Next series I decided that I wanted to get hardcover copies for my personal collection (something that I am working on now). Because I like the series so much, I wanted to do something special with the paperback copies that I have been able to accumulate (1 purchased and 3 as wishes granted). What I've decided to do is send them off all together as a super RABCK to Ishepoh.

With permission from chich (one of the lovely BCers who has been granting my Thursday Next wishes), I stole a little journal entry trick to bring the walking, talking Pickwick. I hope you like it!
