I'm over at TEB , patting ourselves on the back for a job beeeautifully-done. Lisabea's finale is magnificent, deserving of a standing ovation. It's all so ...so....lovely. That standing ovation line reminds me of all the school concerts where the audience all stand up and applaud until their hands hurt--just after the teachers point out that without us amazing parents we'd never have gotten to hear this amazing music. We are so achingly clever, we kill ourselves with joy. * * * Speaking of death, no, the boy still hasn't decided which school. A couple more days of indecision and voila! The decision will be made for him because it'll be too late. I've taken to repeating to myself that there are worse things than getting a job instead of going to college right after high school. My husband, who goes out running every morning before the crack of dawn, got home this morning at six am and I woke to hear him on the front porch (open window weather. Ahhhhhh) ta...

broken sobbing alert continues. This state of starry-eyed blubbering is usually only reached after three fruity alcoholic beverages. Ann Aguirre has it. This is the best. She's won. God, this book brings tears to my eyes it's so so so. . . Oh. Lordy. Tumperkin, Carolyn Jean, Carrie, Ann. You are all....Oh. Shit... it's all so beautiful. I was THERE. I was PART OF GENIUS. Oh. OH. Ohhhhh. Now that your nipples and heart are on full turgid alert, go read. Chapter one is at Tumperkin ’s. Chapter two is at Carolyn Jean ’s. Chapter three is at HERE! My Place! Chapter four is at Carrie Lofty’ s. Chapter five is at Ann's. (see above) Chapter six (and the finale!) will be at Lisabea ’s. Links etc lifted directly from Ann's blog. I'm still too verklempt to busy myself with links and trivialities.

Yay! IT's UP AT LAST! Lovely Salome/Carrie Lofty's place. I'd put up the appropriate list of all the chapters but Tumperkin's done that already. In fact this great novel is all over the interwebs like the latest writer scandal, only with fewer comments. Thank god for that fewer comment point, eh? I mean seriously, the recent scandal is turning into a case of bunny stew calling the kettle obsessive boiled bunny ...never mind. UPDATED TO ADD: I hadn't read Carrie's chapter--I had to post at once so I'd be on the cutting edge. Now I have read it.... and whoa! baby , that's some powerful magnificent prose, y'all.

ta da! The Unfeasibly Tall Greek Billionaire's Blackmailed Martyr-Complex Secretary Mistress Bride You'll want to read chapter one and chapter two Before you read my entry, a warning: I'm determined to win as many points as possible based on Tumperkin's system. one point for every time: - Molly indulges her martyr complex - Nico mentions his belief that Molly's a whore - Nico cuts Molly off mid-sentence - You make a reference to the global hummus industry ten points for every time you use one of the following phrases - To her consternation, Molly's nipples hardened - What was the point? Nico never believed her! - He came, roaring his pleasure Here are my instructions from the TUTGBBMCSMB Home Office: Chapter three-t he squicky first-sex chapter: be liberal with the cliches; should (if possible) include one of those weird internal hymens that romance heroines have. You see? Not a lot of space for that plot schmlot stuff (I don't know how Carolyn Jean ma...
