I keep expecting this to happen since often when I close my Twitter while I’m working on a post, it ends up over the “Publish” button in WordPress.  A post I was revising for tomorrow just went up because of this.  I’ve removed it from the site, but of course it’s still showing up in my RSS feed.  Oops!  Look away, for it is unfinished!

This week’s edition consists entirely of books received as birthday presents (which is also why this post is a day late – I was busy most of the weekend with birthday stuff).  There are supposed to be more birthday books on the way as well since some are coming from overseas, and my husband also pre-ordered A Dance with Dragons for me.  I’ll have to be patient and wait until mid-July for that one! The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Volume 1 […]
