Okay, I know that if I overheard something in my house it means I’m not the one who said it.
And that means Mrs. Novels said it.
On the election:
“I’d rather eat my own fingers than vote for John McCain. I mean, I’d want ’em prepared first. But, still….”
On pregnancy:
“Man, my boobs hurt. Why do they have to get involved so early?”
“I got this nine. You got the next nine, right?”
“The book says the baby’s the size of a kumquat. Who the hell knows what a kumquat is? It sounds dirty.”1
“Get in the car. We’re going to Cherry Cricket… baby needs a cheeseburger.”
On my WIP:
“When you land and agent and sell your novel—”2

I have an aunt who lives near the Cherry Cricket, and the wife and I stop in as much as we can! Great blog!

Sorry to hijack this post (you can delete this if you want) but I was hoping to come here and discuss your book list. Why Harry Potter and the DaVinci Code are the most important books of our time (extreme sarcasm detected).
But I keep accidentally ending up on Amazon! I have no problem with affiliate links, and indeed if your website piques my interest in a book, I’m all too happy for you to get your 5%. But where’s the literary discussion to be found?

@John Pash: You’ll have to help me out a little and let me know how you’re ending up at Amazon. What are you clicking that sends you there and on which page(s) does that happen?
The lists at this page and this page link to Amazon. But please note that I’m not reviewing books any more.
If you go to this page and click Select a Review you’ll find individual posts about books I’ve read. But, for the most part, I’m not doing that sort of thing these days. I’d rather be spending more time writing my own book than writing about someone else’s book.
Thanks for the comment!

My wife once said, after getting her nose job…
“Don’t juggle around my nose… ”
Now… I liked that

Interesting blog. Overhear is not the thing I like. But still the theme is good.
