Huge electrical storm last night! I mean HUGE! The kind of thunder that detonates your heart and freaks out all your pets….panting, whining, pasting themselves to you. And lightning! It was like God went absolutely berserk with a new camera!
Ty and her friend decided crying was the best response…well, certainly after they’d spent the last few hours talking about people and houses being struck by lightning and sizzled to death! Eventually, I got them downstairs, into the room without windows and they settled into Bratz Fairy Tales.
My mum, on the other hand went out on her deck and watched it all like a spectator at a parade. As if this natural phenomenum of power, known to sink ships and destroy lands was on par with the Bag Pipe Band. She said it was better than any fireworks and seemed seconds away from popcorn and a helium balloon. That’s when I left…
…and returned to my panting pooches, who immediately plastered against me again. Sleeping was futile…So, I happily finished off my Maureen Johnson book. By that time the storm had moved on somewhat. There was still a party to be sure, but at least it had moved out of my neighbourhood.
You must check out these two new wonderful reviews!
Mama Bear Reads - “a smashing, break-through hit!”
and
BCF Book Reviews - “colorfully and deeply written”
As a writer, when I read reviews like this, I am so touched and overjoyed. There is nothing greater! And this tour has really been a gift that way. But it has also been a wonderful opportunity to meet great people. Michelle is one of them. She’s “The Boss” over at BCF and we got to know each other after she did the review, which is so cool ’cause she’s in the UK! How awesome is technology, eh? To make friends across the globe with a few pecks on a keyboard!
Anyhow, if you get a chance, head on over to both these sites. BCF’s got tons ‘o book info and a lively forum. And Mama Bear’s got oodles of reviews and she’s ‘chuck full of sassitude!’
K-aloo!
