Hi,

Just wanted to say thank you for your review of Wednesday Night Tupperware. It's really important for me to get independant feedback. Thank you for your time and comments.

Fab :-). I hope you enjoy it when you receive it!
Hi,

LibraryThing contacted me and indicated you were one of the winners of the Early Reviewer Giveaway (for my novel, Dirty Little Angels). Please send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you a copy of the e-book.

Thanks for entering the giveaway,

Hi,

Saw you liked Trainspotting, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). Thought you might like my novel since it's also about a group of disturbed kids and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Hi
I have been doing some work on the Beano Annual series and saw you had the 1991 annual tagged as "need cover".
There are cover scans online at
http://books.littleoak.com.au/boys_annua...
so, i just finished gp #12. i think this comic series was pretty great, overall ... especially, the last few issues.
did you like it?

they're going to do the laughing corpse, starting in october. can't wait. :)
Hi, Thanks for the honor of being one of your interesting libraries. I always wonder what someone else sees in my library. . . Best, Lois
i now see you've got bite and cravings, already.
ah well. :)
i tend to go surfing for early-release chapters of upcoming books by authors i read, so i knew from the hamilton website that there were blake comics coming out, months before-hand. it was a cool idea. i jumped right on them.

the teasers for harlequin do make it sound more like old-school blake, but it's really more of the same as the last few. you enjoyed the last few, so you'll like this one, too. :)

if you're discovering things belatedly, then maybe you don't know there's at least one blake shortstory out there, as well ... i think it was in the 'bite' anthology. i've got 'bite', 'cravings', 'out of this world', and 'strange candy', all with short stories by hamilton. i'm forgetting which is which, at the moment.
i like blue moon!
it's fun watching her bust down jamil, get info from thompson, etc. blake kicks butt in blue moon.
i even like peter the troll. :)

i've re-read the series many times ... including reading the series backwards from incubus dreams ... twice. too many times. :P
now, i just tend to flip to favorite sections and re-read from there ... sometimes keeping on to the end. i keep wishing the new books would go somewhere ... i know you said you like them, but i feel like it's just one sex scene leading to some kind of emotional crisis leading to another sex scene and another emotional crisis ... bring back the guns & the bad guys. blue moon had ONE sex scene. that's more my speed. :)

the comics are interesting. i liked the extra content of the 1st hc.
i haven't opened the first death hc yet because i already read the comics themselves.
honestly, i'm addicted and i keep on buying the new blake books, but i haven't been really satisfied since obsidian butterfly.

the guilty pleasures comics are fun, though. :)
Thanks for your friendship! I look forward to checking out your books and hope you enjoy mine.
Sorry about your rats. Longevity, or lack of it, is their only downside. Otherwise, incomparable creatures. You must get some more when you feel it's right. I would dearly love some (though I don't think any one could replace Mord, but my current life, being out of London one week in four, means that it simply wouldn't work. Especially since Eurostar, which doesn't discriminate in its human passengers, refuses to allow _any_ animal, even one so inoffensive and diminutive as a rat, to use its coaches.

JG
You're v. kind.

The rat is sadly deceased and daily mourned. Mord Em'ly, named for a book of that title (by W. Pett Ridge) which came out in 1898 and dealt with the adventures of a girl gang in the Cut, near Waterloo Station in London. The book's M.E. was an admirably feisty creature, and so was my dear rat.

Thanks again,

JG
