I hope they figure out what is wrong soon and that you are on the mend quickly. I feel for you and your fear of losing your sight. I had lost my sight in my right eye back in 1999 due to a car accident, though I was lucky enough to regain 98% of my vision in my right eye, it was still such a shock. I'm a new follower of your blog and I would love to hear updates. Oh and I love that you read out loud to your hubby... so cute!

I also love Jace at the grocery store & Jace invading Simon's personal space & how funny was Jace's comment about Kyle's videogame being stupid because you couldn't kick anyone (you could only use guns). So hilarious! But I was also quite taken by devoted, sentimental Jace in this book too. I like that he would never ask Clary not to be a Shadowhunter because he knows that wouldn't be fair, and I love that he recognizes that he doesn't get to tell her where to go or when. And when he talks with her about the Morgenstern ring... *melt*<br /><br />I am so glad that <i>Komarr</i> gave you peace and the strength and resolve to get out of that relationship. It is incredible how the right book at the right time can prove to be so meaningful. I love that you were able to meet Lois McMaster Bujold & tell her how important that book was to you. <br /><br /><b>ashweyreadsalot</b> - It really is a very supportive community. And I totally agree with you about Cassandra Clare! Her books are so absorbing, and CoFA was exactly what I needed to make me take a break from my stressed-out tunnel-vision. Not only is the MI world easy to immerse yourself in, but the characters themselves are all remarkably compelling. It is impossible not to laugh with them, cheer for them, & ache for them. So glad to hear that <i>City of Bones</i> and <i>City of Ashes</i> were able to help get you through a difficult time. :)<br /><br /><b>Chachic</b> - Thank you, Chachic. Oh, old favorites really can be the best. Familiar and comforting, all at once. :)Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679587020101376314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528600585203292987.post-50867768986989210622011-04-13T18:02:48.622-07:002011-04-13T18:02:48.622-07:00So sad to hear that you're going through a rou...So sad to hear that you're going through a rough time right now. :( I'm glad things are starting to look up and that reading has help you pull through. It's amazing how books can be helpful in situations like this. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I just reread an old favorite because it helps to be distracted and step away from real life problems for some time.Chachichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216391673830772231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528600585203292987.post-88201262338267929232011-04-13T13:50:25.481-07:002011-04-13T13:50:25.481-07:00Glad you feel like this is a safe place to share y...Glad you feel like this is a safe place to share your feelings. It's amazing how "strangers" can create such a loving, supportive community, isn't it? That book for me was actually the first Mortal Instruments, City of Bones. I think the first two were already out when I started reading and they got me through my own crisis in a perfect, complete absorption in something other than my stress, sort-of way.

I hope and pray for your recovery. <br /><br />There have been so many times as I have been reading Jace snark that I have almost texted you.
