I need help...

Norwescon was fun. I didn't get to talk to nearly enough people, but I really enjoyed the socializing. Lunch on Saturday was the best for me because it was a great conversation with [livejournal.com profile] gfish, [livejournal.com profile] lunar__angel and one other gentleman who's name I didn't get. Which really sucks because he has a sailboat and we share a few other interests. Now if I could just work on socializing in larger groups with more people I don't know.

At the con I found out about some new authors and books. Like I needed anything more to read... The one book that sticks in my mind the most is His Majesty's Dragon by [livejournal.com profile] naominovik. The excerpt has me hooked and I am so tempted to buy them all. I have to wait though because I blew my book budget for a while yesterday. I bought the 11 volumes of The History of Middle-Earth. See? I need help.

Update: The fourth for lunch was [livejournal.com profile] jonwa. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] lunar__angel for the info!

The only help I see you needing is maybe reading them.

Them and the thousands of other books I have on my "to read" list. I'm gaining books faster than I'm finishing them. 18 days into April and I've only gotten partially through 3 books. Assuming I can finish them and 2 others that still leaves me behind by seven books.

Hmmm, could you take an inventory of the books you have and maybe sell the ones you don't forsee reading at Powell's as supplement book money to get that one?
Just a thought.
Love you honey!!

Sell? Not read? These words are unknown to me. ;)

Yeah, I figured actually. LOL! :)

The fourth in the conversation was [livejournal.com profile] jonwa. Good times, despite my nearly falling asleep in my lunch.
