4/5 stars

When you start reading this book, you meet Derek, who is escaping from something that we don’t exactly know anything about yet. Then he comes to a familiar sight and there are flashbacks to give us a clue into what is going on. The author has written a really great story about family and loyalties, which is rather complicated but really fun to read. Once the book starts to introduce us to even more people, including Derek’s relative, as well as Chandra, it starts to remind you a bit of the first few episodes of Game of Thrones. The main characters are enjoyable and deep, which you don’t always find in this type of book. Fantasy is not my favorite genre, but I felt this book had some likable qualities, mainly, the way the story keeps transitioning, like scenes from a movie. Even if you don’t normally like this type of story, this one may interest you.

Count 52,684 in the document, but I have no words.

See this? The original purpose of this was actually to prevent the tiles from falling into the wall, because there's nothing behind them. "Ziploc Bag Patch Job" by J. Madeley, documented by me.

But there was an unintended side effect, and a good one. Ever since that bag's been put there, we haven't seen a single drop come from the below documented thing:



Try to imagine it: shower water formerly of unknown origin (moisture from the pipes, we wondered?) splashes into the tile holes, collects with all the damp and rot and whatever else is inside the walls or directly below the tub, and then begins to saturate the recently redone popcorn ceiling of the dining room below. This results in the phenomenon "Dining Room Ceiling Hole", documented by me. Pieces of decaying popcorn treatment and the occasional droplet constantly threaten to fall into food on the dining room table that you're about to eat.

Fortunately, a couple of people have come by to take pictures and make a quote. I think the second guy came around because the property manager didn't believe the first guy, but that whole shower section of the bathroom needs to be re-tiled after new drywall is put in. Then the dining room ceiling, all water damaged sections replaced and I suspect they'll try to put the same old popcorn treatment over top.

Not seen: due to Samsung camera phone malfunction, you don't get a portrait of "bathroom sink dripping directly into a large pot", so that you always have to check the pot and see if its contents need to be dumped into the toilet. That'll be a pipe and faucet replacement.

Getting down to work when my laptop screen went grey-checkers and basically seems dead now. Very scared. Some things are backed up, some not. I'm using the basement tower right now. Can't really afford for this kind of thing to happen.

I love my book, and know that I have written what I would want to read. That’s not my problem. My problem is that I view myself as an unusual person, so there are still those readers to worry about--there is no way I can feel fundamentally secure in the idea that I’ve written a book anyone else in the world wants to read, beyond a few sympathetic beta readers who are generally friends and family. And so as I wait for reviews, I’m bracing to be told in a really scathing way that I’m an over-hyped simpleton who, through the charitable good nature of others, managed to pay his way to publication and publicity so that he could inflict his mediocrity upon others.
