YES. I have Raynaud's as well, and everyone thinks I'm making up some crazy WebMD shit until the one week in February or March where it gets really cold (I'm from the South) and my fingers look like an actual dead person's. A weird purple-ish white color. And when it warms up in the spring and summer they get bright…

Happens to me all the time. If I'm taking a bite out of something big, like a cheeseburger, my bottom lip smudges my chin. I have a pretty short, sticky-outy chin and also a penchant for taking huge bites of food like the classy lady I am.

Sarah MacLean and Tessa Dare are my two fave Regency writers right now. They hit me in all those junior-high-Julia-Quinn-obsessed areas.

I'll admit I've never read a Patterson. I flipped through one, noticed the chapters were like three pages long, and gave it a hearty nope (how distracting is that shit?). I assume he actually did write them himself at some point? Otherwise how the hell did he get that gig? I'd compare his output to someone like Nora…

FWIW, I worked at Barnes and Noble for five years, and Gabaldon was always shelved under fiction. I assume it's that way at every B&N. Fuck James Patterson, though. And it pissed me off to no end that Nicholas Sparks wasn't shelved under Romance. There's NO way that he would be shelved in fiction if "he" was a "she."
