Here - maybe this will help make you smile too (I hope):

Best I could find on short notice.

So to get back to the topic at hand, I need to go to the second hand store to see if anyone has dropped off a good quality SK book I need!

You'll get your money's worth for $2. It's an okay version but nothing will ever beat the original.
I don't know if I can do it, KRF. I'm about 30 mins in, and the horrible misbegotten story changes are making me nuts. What the hell kind of accent is Donald Sutherland trying to do? I think I'm just too close to the book--it's pretty much my favorite--to enjoy a cat fart of a movie.

Donald has to pay the bills. The roles just aren't finding him too much lately (except for The Hunger Games).

LOL! It's driving me crazy: on one hand, it DOES hit a lot of the important scenes in the book, but the characters and backstories are so, so wrong. I think Donald Sutherland's last really good role (aside from Hunger Games--haha) was as the pyromaniac in Backdraft. He was creepy-creepy in that one! Oh, and I liked him in Cold Mountain, too. Those are the most recent ones (but I like him in general).

He is a very underrated actor. I've always thought that he has a certain underlying 'class' about him.

Yesterday I pre-ordered the signed/numbered Cemetary Dance edition of Tabitha King's 'Small World'. It's her first novel. Looks like CD is going to be releasing all or most of her novels in limited editions. Maybe we'll finally get to read the one that (as of now) is unpublished that Steve mentions in his list of novels at the back of On Writing?
What's the release date on this? It'll be a good way to expand my reading beyond Steve.

There's no release date assigned yet from CD. It will be sometime next year, probably.

I thought that I read somewhere that it would be out early in the year? Maybe March?

Please keep in mind that this is her very first novel and that she was probably pushed into the subject matter. None of her other books deal with anything like what she writes about in this one. Personally, this isn't her best work, that would be her novel Pearl.

The Darkside of the Moon (England really)
I didn't actually purchase it, my nan purchased it for me. Normally I would buy a new King book within a few days of release but with Bazaar of bad dreams being close to my birthday and Christmas, and that I'm apparently really hard to buy for so I decoded to wait this time.

It's the wh smith collectors edition to go with my Revival, Dr sleep and finders keepers (they all have a purple theme).

Very nice! I'd love to have some UK editions. :)
