March 1 question – Have you ever read a line in a novel or a clever plot twist that caused you to have author envy?

This is not exactly what is asked above, but…humorous? 

My mother could sling words with the best of them and if I have a varied vocabulary it has to be partly due to her every day usage in my life.  She was also an avid reader.

She shared with me one of the funniest overlooked typos she ever found.  She read ‘bodice-rippers’ by the dozens, trading them with friends.  The typo she found was in one of that genre of books, which one is immaterial, but you do need to know it was a romance novel.

The line that cracked her up was “Her blood was cursing through her veins.” 

My mother said she could hear in her head, “Goddamit, goddamit, goddamit…”

One little missing ‘o’ made a difference.  lol
