Book Shoppin'

Damn you Ann Aguirre! The woman has pimped TWO books to me in the last 24 hours. And don'tcha just know that I had to go buy both?! I thought I was an effective book pimp, but seriously, y'all should head over to her blog and see the pimpery she's got going on for Meredith Duran's debut novel, Duke of Shadows (which I just bought!) . Ann also talks about Moira J. Moore, who writes fantasy novels. She did such a great job describing the series that I bought the first, Resenting the Hero -- and I keep telling everyone I don't read fantasy novels. Except...I keep buying them.

Then, after lunch today I went over to Borders. There I picked up Elizabeth Vaughan's newest, Dagger Star, which takes place in the same world as her Warlords of the Plains books, which are among my favorite series of books ever. EVER!

Then, wouldn'tcha know that Kristie J. has been interviewing Pamela Clare the last couple of days, and so I ended up having to pick up one of her books, Extreme Exposure, which features a Senator, and I don't know why, but I'm a sucker for heroes who are in public office.

So, there you go, four books in like two hours. And y'all thought I was bad with the pimping.

Aw, but see you're also a third party pimp (pimping what someone else has pimped to you) so it all comes full circle now. I have so many books you've rec'd that I need to start reading them. Though Duran's book is tempting me. Must resist...

Oh Stacy, please don't resist for long. I also bought Duke of Shadows yesterday and started reading it last night. It's wonderful!

Hi PJ! You found me! Yay! BTW, I loved your review of the new Rocki St. Clare book on RNTV!

Okay, sloppy typing, let's try this again:

I'll look forward to seeing what you have to say on this, esp Duke, because you are my MAIN PIMP.

Or at least ONE of them. I have so many pimps.

Okay, to anybody who was on email follow-up, my sloppy typing, (specifically, it was a cut and paste gone horribly wrong) on my previous but now deleted comment could've looked like I was being really racist, and I TOTALLY didn't intend that, even jokingly, even for a minute. I don't joke in that way and I was horrified when it appeared as if I was. Don't think I'm a racist!
