This is not
about shampoo. It's about reading a book.
I just
finished reading Night Light by Terri Blackstock, the second book in her
Restoration Series.
But when I
went to post it in my Book Boogie blog, I discovered I'd already reviewed it
nearly four years ago. Hell, no wonder some parts sounded so familiar. And here
I thought I was so insightful because I could almost anticipate what was going
to happen next.
This has
happened to me twice before, but luckily I figured it out early, before committing fingers to keyboard.
Nobody likes
wasting a perfectly good, well-written book review, so I tried to see if the
situation could be salvaged. Maybe I could surreptitiously replace the old one
with the new? Maybe I could delete the old and post the new? Surely, there's
something I could do.
So I re-read
the old one, and wouldn't you know it, it was better than the one I'd just
written. Consequently I did what any other self-respecting writer/blogger would
do.
I trashed the
new one. Damn, that hurt.
