CD? Hamiltome? (I am still waiting to open my presents, by the way. My husband is KILLING ME.)
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Okay, I now officially own the Hamiltome. Woo!
Seriously, though, I'm impressed with the paper stock used. It's *nice*.

Huh, I've bought tons of Kindle books! Where's my e-mail??
Sad high five of no credit to spend, either.

Have any of you read The Madwoman Upstairs by Catherine Lowell? It's excellent. Just surprising and smart and funny.

RIGHT?? I am trying to be so delicate with it when I read it.

I got $58.47 which was a happy surprise! I already spent a big chunk of it. But not on books though. (I already have waaaay too much to read!)
Speaking of Hamilton, I gave the CD and the Hamitome to my best friend (she lives in Hamilton, OH and hadn't heard of it!) She's an addict now.
I also gave the CD and the Hamilton Biography to my dad for father's day. I warned him that he might not like the musical, but he actually likes it! (Not loves, but he finds it interesting.)
So, yay me!

I love the "cut pages" effect on the Hamiltome. I also like the 18th century style chapter headers.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's been showing up in my recommendations.

Thrive to spite them
One of the negative reviews for the Hamiltome I read was a complaint about the edges being ragged and not liking getting a damaged book. Feature it's a feature person.
