Primrose, you and Gannon made me smile! Lorem Ipsum is fake Latin. It's dummy text used by the printing and publishing industry to visually check layouts prior to adding the real copy. In Jasper's third Thursday Next book
"The Well Of Lost Plots", Thursday's little boy Friday (naturally!) speaks nothing else.

“What did my grandson say?” asked my mother, staring at Friday.....“Oh, that’s just him jabbering away in Lorem Ipsum. He speaks nothing else.” “Lorem—what?” “Lorem Ipsum. It’s the dummy text used by the printing and typesetting industry to demonstrate layout. I don’t know where he picked it up. Comes from living inside books, I should imagine."

Gosh, I just remembered that the underworld in the BookWorld speak a slang version. They may know how to translate my code. In that case, scrap my second instruction and go straight to line three. Right?

IT'S HERE. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Quickly read the first couple of chapters and can't wait to get stuck into it. I just have to finish off "The Black Echo" by Michael Connelly, only a bit to go, and then I can finally read it. Of coarse it's getting bumped up the TBR. Yabba Dabba Doooooooo. :D :D

:D I'm just happy it is here, I had nearly given up on it. I get books from all over the world, about 3 or 4 a week and I have never (touch wood) had one not turn up.

FANTASTIC NEWS! The Fourth Bear has landed! Thank goodness I don't have to launch my rescue plan. I know you will be kind to your new book, Gannon,it's been through a lot. Keep it warm and dry and laugh when you turn the pages.

Don't forget the debriefing and following in-depth discussion; who's supplying the nibblies and drinks?

I have read about a 1/4 of it so far and once again it is brilliant. I must say that I slightly prefer the nursery crimes books to the Thursday books. Only just mind you. Maybe it is just because the last two Jasper's I have read have been the nursery crime books. Glad to say that it was definitely worth the wait. :D

G'day Gannon, are you and Jasper getting along? Is the fourth bear causing any problems in your relationship? :wink:

Haha Maud, Jasper and I are getting along like a house on fire. Plans changed again and we ended up spending the day at the beach. I fell asleep reading "Bears" last night. I have read 1/2 of it and am loving it. Looking after my nephew today and tomorrow but hope to finish it when he is sleeping. Top storyline and quite suspenseful. :D
