Back to the Bookstore

The other day I went back to the Used bookstore. This time I went up to the LDS section. And I reaped the joys of Card-ness. I found a first edition of A Storyteller in Zion. It is in near perfect condition, and I can't wait to get eye tracks all over it. I know its just essays and such, but I am really excited. I feel like I haven't had a new Card book to read in ages.

I am planning on devouring it on my plane back to Illinois for Christmas. Hopefully (hoffentlich) I will be able to get quite far, so I can post a review. I am really excited...and I have an ample amount of time in which to do so since Jared has left for Oregon.

...By the way I would like to report successful brainwashing here in Utah. I have shared Maps in a Mirror with my roommates boyfriend. And currently he is quoting "But We Try Not to Act Like It" in a last-ditch effort paper. It's pretty amazing when you are not the one who says "I got to quote Card in my paper." It feels like a million gold stars!

An Update

Wyrms 6 is out!!! I really enjoyed it. It's weird that it is not Dabel Brothers anymore, I had to get used to that. Nevertheless it is still the same kick-butt story. (Card wrote it and Jake adapted it, so why wouldn't it be awe-some.) And this time I actually bought it at a comic shop. Which is a funny story in it own right. I like comic shops--they help me get in touch with my inner nerd. Anyway, its a good ending to a great Card story. And not all that graphic either (could've been a lot worse).

Also in other news...I am engaged. And yes, I am shocked too. But mostly, I am really really excited.

Back to Card...there are people talking about A War of Gifts at my school. Finally. I always try to tell them that if they liked A War of Gifts that they really ought to read Ender's Stocking on IGMS. I think they work together perfectly. I am so happy! SMILE!!
