I guess I’ll be taking the weekend off. Though I didn’t do a damn thing to it, I have some kind of agonizing pain in the outside of my right wrist and lower hand. It started last night and just keeps getting worse.
I can’t hold a pen. The Schwans guy came & writing a check [...]

On February 28th I’m going to give away TWO $25.00 gift certificates to any online bookstore (that offers gift certificates)! Entering is easy!

I’m willing to bet my New Year’s resolution wasn’t exactly unique—stop outbuying my reading pace. The TBR pile—even when it’s digital—is out of control and at some point you’ve gotta stop and read the books you’ve got.
