Mom's a Cheetah- By Bella

While Red's away, the cat will play...As I'm sure you know, Red's still sick. While she's in the shower, I thought I'd take this opportunity to tattle on her. She has read three books not on her list! In between her codeine-induced coma, she has read Heart-Shaped Box, by Joe Hill; Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett; and Christine Falls, by Benjamin Black. And let me tell you, the authors? Two of these things are not like the other. Because Joe Hill is the pen name of Joe King, as in son of Stephen. And Benjamin Black? Really John Banville, most recently known for The Sea, winner of the 2005 Man Booker Prize. Red enjoyed all of them, especially Christine Falls, but maybe she just enjoyed the thrill of cheating. And she's going to do it again! She thinks she may be dying, so she's reading another book she wants to get in before she dies. What a baby! This next one is called Special Topics in Calamity Physics. As you may recall, she read the first twenty pages before she started her goal, and loved them. Now, she's going to take on the rest of the book. Cheater cheater. Ooh, here she comes...
