Booking Through Thursday:Unread
In the perfect follow-up to last week’s question, as suggested by C in DC:
Is there a book that you wish you could “unread”? One that you disliked so thoroughly you wish you could just forget that you ever read it?
That’s a tough question. I don’t think I have ever read a book that I hated so much I wish I could unread it. If I ever disliked a book that much I would just stop reading it. Now that being said, I honestly did not enjoy when I had to read Moby Dick for school. That was not one of my favorite reads to be sure. So I guess that would qualify?
Post buy Customer Service, Mosquito Magnet
I have to applaud the Mosquito Magnet Company (and not just for their lovely bug killing tool you know those nasty skeeters are Minnesota’s State bird right?) This is a company that believes firmly in post purchases customer care. They don’t just run away once they have your money, mosquito magnet repair is a great website that offers a full line of easy to access areas for help if you need repair.
I wish all companies subscribed to this same theory of repair and help. I once purchased an expensive but what I thought would be well worth it gas lantern for camping, and reading. Being a big girl scout who never left for camp as a kid or counselor without at least a backpack full of books, it made sense. Rather than burning through all those batteries, especially as an adult. I would just invest in a good gas lantern. Easy pease.
That was not to be, my expensive gas lantern only worked for two uses and than sputtered out. Now I was at camp, and didn’t have access easily to a phone. But we did have a nice internet connection. Well do you think they had internet help? Nope they sure didn’t. And in a technology age you would think that they would. I mean it really makes sense to me; doesn’t it make sense to you? But alas even trying to get a hold of them on the phone ended up being hard. So in the end I was a frustrated customer with a broken product, who will never purchase from them again.
Waiting on Wednesday #1
First Week in June Release.
The year is 1845. Elizabeth Barrett is a published poet–and a virtual prisoner in her own home. Blind family loyalty ties her to a tyrannical father who forbids any of his children to marry. She has resigned herself to simply existing. That is, until the letter arrives… “I love your verses with all my heart,” writes Robert Browning, an admiring fellow poet. And as friendly correspondence gives way to something more, Elizabeth discovers that Robert’s love is not for her words alone. Could it be that God might grant her more than mere existence? And can she risk defying her father in pursuit of true happiness?
Nancy Moser has crafted a romantic, emotion-charged novel based on the true story of beloved poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Musing Monday #13 – Gift Certs
Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about gift certificates…
Do you give gift certificates to book stores as presents? If so, do you give for actual stores or online stores? Do you like to receive them yourself?
Oh yes I do. I give them out often. Usually I give out regular store ones. Unless I know the shopper prefers to shop online if that’s the case than I get them an online one.
Now for me I like Book Store GC (duh) and I will take ones for a real store or online. I do prefer online as it’s just easier for me right now with what’s going on. But also the most affordable shop so far is online.
