The latest in a string of misadventures -- my youngest daughter contracted viral meningitis. They released her from the hospital Monday afternoon after about 5 days in the hospital. It has been a scary time, and she is still not well, but they have established for sure that it was not bacterial meningitis after taking blood cultures every day (sometimes twice a day)! :) The yoga has helped me stay calm. <br /><br />Thanks for checking on us! <br /><br /><b>Iliana</b> - Thanks for checking in Iliana! We've had one thing after another lately and have survived them all.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-52014936858166396152009-09-30T10:08:41.830-05:002009-09-30T10:08:41.830-05:00Hey there - just hadn't seen you posting in a ...Hey there - just hadn't seen you posting in a while and wanted to drop in and say hi.

It arrived a few days ago and I couldn't remember where I'd learned about it. Now I know!<br /><br />How are you doing? And how's everyone? I think about you often and am always hoping the best for your dad and husband. I don't worry too much about you because of your yoga - I just think you're healthy and feeling good. Hope I'm right.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-2797732280820126632009-09-15T10:40:45.523-05:002009-09-15T10:40:45.523-05:00Another comment chiming in about the cover!

The last several months I read a good review like yours and I head right over to the store and try to find a used copy. This tendency of mine has to quit. <br /><br />This one sounds like one both my daughter and I will enjoy.

Often when the publisher uses a scene from the book, it becomes obvious that the artist didn't read the book!<br /><br /><b>Ann</b> - I don't know when it is scheduled for release in the UK, but I listened to a little of the <i>podiobook</i> (Lenahan reads it himself) and liked the way it sounded.

Good pattern in the middle and good font - as a rule I feel like it's better for fantasy books to go with something like this, than to depict a scene from the book. It's nearly always a bad scene for the cover.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
