Do so! Her books are amazing. Beautifully written, insanely well researched, endearing and charming.

YES!!! Kowal’s beautiful series (start with Shades of Milk and Honey) is like Jane Austen with magic. The main character, Jane, can work Glamour which has become a gentle lady’s magic and she meets a rare gentleman who has gained acclaim with it. It is just an EXCELLENT series, now finished at five books, and I can…

99% of them live on my Kindle. Partly because you can get them cheap as ebooks and partly because the covers still embarrass the hell out of me.

I wish I knew why I was so absurdly obsessed with this time period. The Georgian-Regency-Victorian-Edwardian period is my person catnip and downfall. I never read romance until a friend shoved a Tessa Dare book in my hands and now it’s a bit hard to stop. My bookshelf has had a crisis of indentity. Spaceships and…

Massive and heartfelt congratulations to you and Allen, Mark. I’m so excited for you two! You two are weaponized levels of adorable together.

Ahmed is well within his right to grow up to be a supervillain. This school completely failed him and their behavior was absolutely disgraceful. It was a clock and he was wearing a NASA shirt for fuck’s sake!

Atlantic City is an absolute cesspool. I live in Jersey and there are some really nice parts of the state but Atlantic City is every Jersey stereotype packed into two blocks.

Romance readers were the WEIRDEST of the bunch but also brought the most sales. They didn’t just buy one book, they’d buy a dozen and be back a week later to buy a dozen more.

Hah! We did the same thing. They were unspeakably disgusting. They tasted like a knock off version of those message heart candies from Valentine’s Day. They didn’t even sell when they were discounted to fifty cents.

I don’t understand the question.

Sounds like you were a Borders employee! We could not move those candies for love or money and they sent us TWO displays of them. Just another outstanding decision by Borders management.

When I managed a Borders we were also responsible for this small calendar kiosk on the other side of the shopping center. I was there covering someone’s lunch break and this crazed woman came over demanding why we had no bichon frise calendars. The dog calendar people were always the weirdest.

Amen.

I really fucking am. I didn’t sleep well, my coworkers are annoying and I’m this close to leaping out the window. I should not be crossed today.

Team no one on this. They’re both fantastic musicians and they both seem like total assholes. White more than Carney, though.

Yeeeeeeah, just a little. This is completely a nonsense “scandal” that was first used to find stuff that didn’t exist about Benghazi and is now being used to discredit a presidential candidate

Colin Powell, for example.
