An apology

To everyone kind enough to send me books for review, I am afraid I may not be writing those reviews very soon. I had packed all of the books to accompany us on vacation but the best laid plans of mice and men and all that. When we got here yesterday and headed to our cottage, our boat sank. The good news is that no one was hurt. The bad news is that everything we own is currently waterlogged beyond belief. I will eventually get to all the books, but it is going to take quite a while for them to dry out to be in any condition to be read.

For those interested in more details, I'm sure I will be writing one of my famous travelogues on this latest disaster in the long line of Kristen's excellent adventures and posting it here eventually.

P.S. I really am a fairly accomplished boater despite doing my darndest to drowwn my entire family and myself yesterday.

    oh my goodness Kristen. Only you have such exciting travels. Glad everyone's OK but ooh what a mess...

    Hope there's a bookstore near by to keep the cravings at bay.

    Oh no! It's just good to hear that you're okay. I hope your books dry out soon. But I don't envy you picking the pages apart so they don't stick together. How will you manage??

I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.
