bookclub! (march)

well, considering my birthday's this month, the only birthday present i asked of mother was that she allowed me to catch the lift up to the library and back down from it to the car. sadly, mother was HEARTLESS and wouldn't even gimmee that much. :( yes, i'm capable of walking up those stairs, but there is also a bloody elevator for mobility impaired people - i.e. ME! >< but hey, as long as mother's happy ... :( and, as usual, i didn't get any dinner afterwards. dunno why mother ALWAYS refuses to take me through the red rooster drive-thru for a tropicana pack (i'm very partial to the pineapple fritters! :D)but luckily, awesome hina fed me the perfect arvo tea plus one crunchy pear for arvo tea, so i wasn't too hungry. besides, i got three weetbix for breakfast the next morning. :)
once i'd hauled myself to the room, mother kindly buggered off and lemme enjoy bookclub with all the other nice ladies. erica made me one cup of tea, white and two, and amanda (the librarian that takes the bookclub) captured my attention with two new fantasy books the library recently acquired. one was a david and leigh eddings one, which i happily delved into somewhere during bookclub discussion. i remember first finding eddings during high schhol, along with feist, hearn and feintuch. :)
anyways, can't remember the title of this book ... sth like 'across the front line'?
lol, i must be a literary dud compared to all the other ladies - they all loved the book! i, on the other hand, find it totally boring ... there weren't any memorable quotes to jot down and share with them all! but hey, each to their own. :) perhaps i found the book so completely boring because the author died before my father was even BORN? :P
anyhow, the book we're reading for april promises to be interesting - it's called sth like 'the secret life of bees' and it's about some girl that accidentally killed her mother when she was a young child! o_O sounds intriguing ...
anyways, next post here will prolly come next sunday (not tomorrow, but the 20th march) coz on that day, i'm turning twenty-four! gosh, i'm feeling OLD now ... i'll have passed the 'st' (twenty-one), the 'nd' (twenty-two) and the 'rd' (twenty-three)! yup, i'm rejoining the 'th' family for the next seven years ;)
until then~
cheers,
em. ^^
