They save the film industry from catering primarily to young males, whose appetites for Transformers, Saw, and 2012 are insatiable. 2.

When I started this blog, I had no idea that I'd make as many friends and read as many books as I have. Then again, five years is a long time! And as I am feeling generous, and because I want to thank y'all for reading...

I know I should be writing something erudite about the latest Harlequin-RWA debacle but I'm also reading Terry Pratchett and I think it's coloring my perception. Truly, this is something that belongs in Discworld . I am also in the thick of deadline hell and am about to behead Jane Austen so you can see I'm rather distracted. So I'll tell you instead what I did last weekend, which was to attend the...
