No, not that Book Thief, this post is about a missing book from my collection so I’m assuming there must be a book thief around. I mean, I know I have this book and all of a sudden that’s the book I want to read but it’s nowhere around.
Do you ever just lose a book in your stacks? I’m pretty sure I didn’t have it in a bag of books to donate and I hardly ever loan out books so where is my book? The only thing I can think of is that it may be in Germany waiting for me. I have a tiny collection over there at my in-law’s so maybe it’s there. I guess I’ll find out in a few weeks.
In case you are wondering what book has me going crazy it’s Cotillion by Georgette Heyer. It all started when I realized Sourcebooks is having another of their big eBook sales this week and this time they are offering 46 of Georgette Heyer’s books for $1.99. I was looking through the books I own to decide and that’s what started all of this as I’m pretty sure I already own Cotillion. Anyway, lots of great books on the list. Are you going to get some for yourself? Let me know which ones you recommend.
What else, well I had a fabulous time at my yoga workshop. Two and a half hours of hatha and kundalini. We wrote in our journals, chanted, and laughed. It was so good and that followed up with dinner and more laughter with friends was really great.
Unfortunately not a lot of reading was done this weekend so I’m going to try and get in some pages before going to sleep. I’ll have to tell you about my new book soon.
I hope you find your lost book! That has happened to me before, and the missing books either turned up at work or at my moms house…lol.
I have heard about Sourceboks Heyer birthday sale….I have my post ready to set tomorrow. My favorite Heyer book is Frederica 🙂 Glad your yoga workshop was fun.
I hate it when that happens! I have done that more than once and it drives me mad to think I have a book and just don’t know where it is! I hope you find Cotillion–that was one of the first Heyers I read and remember enjoying it. I also am contemplating buying an ebook or two…
That happens to me sometimes, and I’ve to blame for my short memory, lol. I hope you’ll find your book soon, Iliana.
I hope you find it. I always lose books in my piles. I really need to sort them all out and organise them at least by author.
Yeah, well, you are in good company here. Sure wish I could get some momentum. So Heyer’s book on sale? Hmmmm. I’ve never read her. I would have no idea where to start!
I go nuts when I lose a book and I am sure I have not loaned it out…. at least once a month I am running around the house looking for the missing book. 🙂
Yes! I know we have a certain E.O. Wilson book at my house and I remember my husband reading it several years back and I decided I would read it too but not just then. Earlier this year I was looking for it and I can’t find it anywhere! It drives me nuts everytime I think about it. I hope you find your book!
I lose books all the time. It drives me nuts! Of course, if I am looking for it then it means I want it, so that is even more annoying at the time!
I have a book thief problem too! I think that it may be my husband, though 🙂 He sometimes takes my books to read and then doesn’t return them, and sometimes they wind up in his office at work. And then I absolutely can’t find them!
I have books go missing occasionally, although the culprit is usually one of my sisters!
When my books go missing it usually means that I’ve loaned them out and haven’t gotten them back. I hate that! I loved the Heyer book I read a few years back and have been meaning to read more by her every since. Hope you find your book soon!
I just recently lost One Day and I really wanted to take it on vacation with me. I looked on all of my shelves three times and never found it. I finally just gave up and downloaded it for my Nook and then ironically enough, never read it!
