She's no Paris Hilton...

Third Death-agon has gone back into hibernation after the passing of Rue McClanahan. He'll come again when we have another set of celebrity deaths--hopefully from the '60's or '70's time period. These '80's icon deaths are making me misty-eyed. Guys, we're down to one Golden Girl. I don't want to live in a world where we have no Golden Girls.
There's no appropriate segue, so...
I need to get a website blocking program on this computer and block Amazon.com. Their 4-for-3 promotion got me again! ARRRGGG! I was just trying to start my Christmas Wish-list (hey! Christmas is going to be here before we know it!) and you had to flash your 4-for-3 promotion all over the books I was selecting. I also bought The Hunger Games--sadly not part of the promotion. ($9-and-some-change is really cheap for a hardcover.)
While also browsing the evil that is known as Amazon.com, I stumbled upon Alison Weir's page and got all lovey-dovey with her Tudor books. Maybe I'm getting sentimental because this is the last season of The Tudors, but lately I've had this desire to read a bunch of Tudor history books. I've always been drawn to that family since being introduced to King Henry VIII and his six wives--a man's got to have a hobby... I just never took the time to read a bunch of books on them, but now I kinda want to. Also, Mary, Queen of Scots is pulling on my heartstrings.
Of course, all this could be my mind's way of distracting me from writing a query letter and the synopsis for my finished manuscript.
