The fourth ghost

[delphipsmith]

"I am the ghost of Christmas Future Perfect Subjunctive: I will show you what would have happened were you not to have changed your ways!"

Heeeee...

I am nearly caught up on mini_fest, planning to work my way through sshg_giftfest over the weekend (some lovely stories over there, go see!), and eagerly anticipating the opening of hoggywartyxmas in just a few days.

This weekend I hope to also get books shipped out to everyone who claimed one in the Great Book Giveaway of 2014. Still a few left for you last-minute shoppers!

I am embarking on a nice, leisurely reread of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rgins Rings ('rgins' heh heh) as my holiday read. It's been a few years since I did this, and I can feel that it's time again. "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit..."

Ahahaha on your third conditional ghost :)

Oh, LOTR - what a good choice! I would like to reread the Dark is Rising books, but I don't think I'll get to them much before January the way this year has gone.

Ah, Susan Cooper -- another excellent choice. That's the first series that I remember waiting for the next book to come out. I discovered them before Silver on the Tree came out, and I recall anxiously pestering my mom for about six months: "Is it out yet? Can we buy it yet? WHEN WHEN WHEN???!!?"

I recently introduced a friend to those books and she loved them. I so enjoyed giving someone else that wonderful experience.
