Books by my bed.

I've been tagged.  My beautiful friend over at Solodialogue got tagged in this meme and like a virus she passed it along to me.  And then like a true virus it replicated and I got tagged again.  My wonderfully funny friend Kathleen at autsimheard who does not, I repeat, DOES NOT read My Little Pony Books tagged me since I was too slow getting my post up.  I'm pathetic really as I only have one book by my bed.  I love both these ladies and it is really the only one time I'd like to get a virus. 

And I've been dragging my heels ever since and feeling like a looser for not having done this sooner.  But the fact remains that I only have one book by my bedside and it's not a very good one at that.  I'm afraid if you were looking at a window into my soul by peering at what books I have on my bedside you'd be sorely disappointed.  Now if you asked what was by my toilet I have a stack like this high.



But you didn't ask that.  You asked what was by my bedside and for that I only have one book, here it is.

It's called the Great Hunt by Robert Jordan and part of the Wheel of Time series.  There are like 40 books in the compilation and honestly I've read them so many times I get them all mixed up.  Except the last one.  The author died prior to the completion and another author recently finished the series.  I've not read it.  Really, by the time I've gotten to the eighth book I have to start all over because I'm so confused.  So the ending never really mattered to me as I'm stuck on about an eight book feedback loop anyway. 

If you do know the ending, DON'T TELL ME.  That honor goes to my husband as he has earned himself the nick name of the 'party crasher'.  See, early on I'd be sitting there, all comfortable on a winter night watching a PBS Masterpiece, like Emma or Jane Eyre, and he would walk in and blow the whole damn storyline in five words or less.  He would argue it's like watching the Titanic---we all know how it's going to end.  To which I refute, it's not the ending that matters, it's the storyline.  It's the storyline, babe... Argh.  So that is why, my friends, my husband gets to spoil it for me.  He's earned that right.

Anyway, I'd like to tag Lisa at alienhippy as she has a way with words that I can not duplicate.  She is like opening a window in spring with words flowing at me on the breeze.  Truly amazing.   That's the best way I can describe it and I'd love to see what she reads. 

Just so you know if this meme were about books by my toilet I'd wipe out at least twenty people.  See?  Look at all this stuff.

No, I don't play with domino's while on the loo. They just showed up
one day and they still remain.  I repeat, I do not play Domino's while

on the loo or read My Pretty Pony.

I've listed what's in that hot mess since I didn't think it was fair that everyone was listing a bunch of books and I scaped by with only one.  So here they are in no particular order.  I have no idea what this says about me other than I spend way too much time in there.
