Set the car to Ramming Speed to get to a plowed street, and am now at work. Schools are still closed, so Deb'll be home with her get, and someone's gotta be here. Well, that's not strictly true, but someone's gonna go wiggy if she spends another day in the house. Tom is my queen. He brought rolls.*

I am in awe of the sheer multi-level badness of Rose Red.

[livejournal.com profile] viedma was entirely right about The Secret Garden. I feared a total stickyfest, but the author's sense of humor is so sharp and dry that you could crumble it up and put it in your chili, so it's cool.

*"Rolls." Local dialect for big mofo box of doughnuts.

Are we talking The Secret Garden by Nancy Friday? *hides in phear* (not because of the book but because of the Evil Ms. Friday-- I had to work with her once on a project)

LOL You can tell where *my* mind is at. ;) The FRB book was one of my faves as a kid. That and A Little Princess (luckily read before I saw the awful Shirley Temple film version of it)

Oh, oh, I haven't read the Secret Garden in too long!!!!! I basically destroyed the library's copy as a kid, reading it over and over...

I got the cheap-ass $6.00 hardback from B&N. It's mercifully illustration-free (the Tasha Tudor illustrations have always put me off), and in a nice readable type on acid-free paper.
