Of Bees and Mist

I've started reading a book that we published (surprise, surprise!) and so far I am really loving it. This book is called "Of Bees and Mist" and it is written by Erick Setiawan. So far it seems like it could be a good read for middle/high school girl, in reference to previous blogersations. Do you like my new word?

I must admit that I'm not too far in yet, but so far I, the hater of book to movie, have a great plan for Tim Burton to direct and Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter to play the parents. I am already imagining this as I read...

On a side note, if you go to Amazon to look for the book (or click this link) you will see under the cover design some thumbnails that I CREATED! Yippee.

I need to stop using ( ) so much.

Yes! I was hoping you would, because I really want you to read it and see what you think!

I hope I'm not the only one that looooves it.

dang it. Oh well ;) I will just BORROW it after! Heehee! I think this is good, anyway, since I still have a couple books here (from you) I need to read, plus the german books which are good practice!

Yeah for me! I will pass it along to Claire when I'm done. Did you know I gave up texting and driving for Lent last year? It was right after I had my little car accident WHICH was not my fault but I was thinking about my phone when it happened...

I need to stop using ellipses so much. Maybe I will give them up for Lent this year...

P.S. Isa, so glad you took the name change suggestion. Can you get David to change his last name too?

P.S.S. Only a week and two days until the Selbies come to Lexington. Much happiness here...xoxoxoxo

hahaha... yeah, I seriously don't understand the driving and texting (though to be fair, I don't drive all that often anymore...) besides... it's not like calling costs more than texting like it does for me. I text while walking, and that is dangerous enough (I HAVE had accidents...)

No giving up on the ellipses and parentheses... please(!!!)... I don't know how to communicate online otherwise!

In response to PPPS: YAAAAAAY!!!!

I wonder if I can get David to change his name.. he might have more qualms with it than I do but it's worth a shot!

How about giving up (...)(!!!)()?!?!?

Peddie said...

Haha... Nicole and her husband did that for REALz.

Peddie said...

What did Nicole and her husband do? Oh, wait a minute, I can just ask you now in person...am texting whilst writing this!!!:() #@%%%^&!

Wait, that last post was mine

Peddie said...

apparently you got too distracted by penguin wars, Becky. They both changed their last names to Cure'-Williams.

iselby said...

You two are weird.. are we related?

LOVE YOU!

Hey! I read my fairly won copy of "of Bees and Mist." It was a good as Isabug said it would be. Downright magical!

Peddie said...

I can't believe I SEARCHED that bookcover for bees (finally found one) and NEVER noticed those details in the thumbnails (though, to be fair, I didn't notice you said anything about it -GOOD JOB BTW - at first either... bad me!)

Woo! Look at all those ellipses and parentheses!

And I also can't stop thinking about the book! You guys should watch the little video of the author on the amazon page - he seems nice!
