books
today, i went to sunny bookstore, a 2nd hand bookshop to run an errand.
well, sometimes what you are looking for can be right before you, without you noticing it. you just have to look harder.
i found two out of the three books i went there for. having found a few other books of that third book's author, jv jones, i decided to ask if they had catalogue or something. the sales assistant directed me to her colleague, who asked me which book i was looking for, and the author, which i told her.
i was quite stunned by her reply that the book hasn't been published yet; it's publication has been postponed indefinitely.
i was stunned because i thought that author was rather obscure. i may have stopped reading fantasy for a while, but i thought i still have a decent knowledge of who's who in that genre. and as far as i am concerned, i have never heard of j.v. jones before. i just didnt expect her to know who and what i was talking about.
and i was also stunned that she could even tell me that it hasn't even been published yet. because it was already good enough if she could say they didn't have it. and yes, i was also stunned, because she's female. or at least i think she was, even though she had very short hair, like a guy's.
so after i got home, i went to verify her words. she was half-right. it isn't out yet, but it's due to be out in december 2007.
well, maybe she got lucky. and fantasy is definitely her genre, because of what the other one said when she referred me to her.
but still, this is a perfect example of what i was saying, that people who deal in something should have some feelings for it, never mind that those feelings may just be for a small part of the entire thing, like how fantasy is only one of many genres.
