boxing up for another bookxer

I received a neat box of books today. It's a good thing hubby was at work when it arrived ... lol. Thanks! Shall read and release.

This book is next after Intimate Enemies by Shana Abe, c. 2002 -- link goes to blog as the book is from booksfree.com -- see entry of Oct 12, 2004

I enjoyed this one! Not overly believable but hey that's the joy of reading - you can suspend reality :)

I collect quotes as I read. These ones are fun, poetical, or even philosophical. Take what you like, and leave the rest.

He'd been walking all afternoon and was hungry as a gator in the springtime. p35

But Creole wouldn't change any of it. Not for the world. He loved the Quarter and all its eccentricities and sinful excess. It was a place a man could surround himself with the crush of humanity in all its forms and yet be untouched and alone if he chose, simply melting into the crowd and enjoying the ever-changing scene. It was one of the few places he felt at home. Relaxed. Unthreatened. p86
[comment: Are you a writer? Write of a time you felt alone in a crowd or write of your favorite place.]

The face staring back at him was eerily familiar from a rap sheet as long as Florida. p188

As we're moving back over the ocean to New Zealand I am finally releasing some books. I am sending this to some fellow pre-school teachers.
