I counted Washington because I'm flying there next month.

I feel old....

Just last week, I was having an argument with my grandma that she needed to get some new socks because hers had holes in them. Her response, 'they don't make the kind I like anymore'.

I now know what she feels like.

They are going to stop publishing my favorite type of romances - Regency!!

I'm going to cry. I love reading, I spend money on books every month (ask my friends, they've had to help me move boxes and boxes of books!), and I have lots of interests: history, ruins, castles, England, sci-fi, fantasy, D&D, art and my Regencies. Okay, I'll occasionally buy a bodice ripper - especially if it's set in England and during the 1800's, or the occasional paranormal one or fantasy type that catches my eye, but for good 'ole reading fun - I've been buying Regencies since College.

Lately, I've been having a HARD time finding new ones, and have tried several bookstores. During Tax Season HELL I wasn't able to buy many books (or had the energy to even try to read one), so now I'm catching up, and I couldn't find ANYTHING!

Frustrated, I did two malls tonight. My normal bookstore, with no luck, then the small bookstore at another mall, that for some reason, has always had their Regencies set together instead of mixed in. As I was looking, an employee was in the area shelving new stock and had piles of romances all over and asked if she could help. I explained I was looking for Regencies and where were the new ones/have they come out this month.

She gave me a pitying look, pointed to the three I'd already looked at, and said 'They are stopping that line, that's all we have. They are not going to be publishing them anymore'.

I almost cried. 'Why!' I asked. She shrugged. 'Not popular'. Seems the current trend is for extremely sexual. :::sigh::: No more subtle romance. Now it's all about the sex.

There will be occasional ones she pointed out, but the two main 'lines' of Signet and Zebra will stop the monthly printing.

Time to dig through my books and savor an old favorite.

My cats

Here's a pic of my kitties - Kethry & Eowyn. The one looking at you is Eowyn. Also called by my mom 'The Great Invisible, Cat'



I tried saving this one as 'medium' in photoshop. Kat, can you see it? Mercy, I don't have any thing that says 'save for web' on my version of photoshop! argh! We must have different versions - or I'm looking in the wrong place :(
