Just a little note regarding my Friday memes and posting.  Tomorrow morning we are driving, I should say hubby is driving and I am along for the ride and probably reading, back to see the surgeon for my 2 month post op visit.  Am hoping that some of the restrictions are lifted but not the one where I can do housework lol (and don’t tell hubby I said that).  Getting very used to and enjoying blogging and reading the majority of the day.  We won’t be back until sometime in the  afternoon so my postings will be later on.  Now on to today’s meme:

Today’s question:
Do signed copies excite you? Tempt you? Delight you? Or does it not matter to you?
My answer:
One word Absolutely !!  Especially if it is personalized.  Ironically, the first book that I received with a personal inscription was from the doctor who performed my 2nd and 3rd back operations and had just had his latest book published, the topic, backs.  Since then I have received a few more.  And all of my signed editions have a special place in my bookcase.

  Before I share with you the words I found this past week, I just want to also share my thoughts.  Back in the day (lol) when I was in school, I probably wouldn’t have been able to find these words in the dictionary.  It just amazes me that we have so much knowledge at our finger tips with today’s technology.  I WONDER what we will have say in 10 years.

Today my words are a bit different.  They are slang words (which I was eager to look up lol) that are used in Ireland and thereabouts. and they are:
  *bollocks 
–noun

1.(used with a plural verb) Vulgar. ballocks.
2.(used with a singular or plural verb) British Vulgar. rubbish; nonsense; claptrap (often used interjectionally).
  *gobshite
–nounChiefly Irish Slang: Vulgar.

1.a mean and contemptible person, esp. a braggart.
2.a stupid and incompetent person

The University by Jeffrey Leever
Published by Capital Crime Press
ISBN 13: 978-0-9799960-6-1
At the request of Omnimystery, a PB copy was sent, at no cost to me, for my honest opinion.
  Synopsis: (taken from back of book): Ah…college life. A place for learning. Partying and dating. And murder. When investigative journalist Kevin Gibson lets his cousin, a former cop, talk him into looking into a student’s disappearance at Tremont University, he gets more than he bargained for. A former student-injured in a brutal attack two years ago and in a coma-may hold a critical piece of information that can solve the mystery. Meanwhile, an attractive coed continues to hide a very dark secret.
  Tremont junior Brett Duncan is drawn into a cunning world few know exist-a conspiracy involving faculty, students and some well connected people in high places. Beneath the campus’ Hallmark-card exterior lie many secrets, and a pulse-racing mystery with plenty of chills along the way.
  My Thoughts and Opinion: I will start with the positives of this book. I found it to be a quick read with page turning suspense the last 1/3 of this book. I felt that the author’s writing style and the way he created the story line of suspense was quite good. However, there were quite a few things that I didn’t enjoy, and this is my opinion and only my opinion, another reader might totally disagree with me. I felt that some of the sub plots appeared to be written in haste, which made the story line unbelievable and took away from the suspense. I also felt, and again this is my opinion only, that the book as a whole was unsophisticated. The overall basis of a suspenseful plot was good, however, the subplots appeared to be written with not much plausible thought. Unfortunately, this is not a book I would recommend.
