It’s been awhile since I’ve had more than 10 minutes at my computer, alongside my sexy postage scale and my box o’prizes (which, for the record) the cats desperately try to sleep in, but I refuse to allow them to do so. They are miffed).
First, a coronation! After consulting with the Oracle of Bitchery Titles, I am pleased to confer upon Danica, who, about 18 years ago in Internet time, guessed The Seagull Book in a two-part Guess That Lonely Heart. Kneel, Danica, and arise a member of the Smart Bitch Peerage™.
I’m SO RELIEVED someone got the seagull book. All’s right with the world.
It’s a great day for the Bitchery. Congrats to the newest members of the peerage, and w00t! on the cover contest.
I’ll never look at a Phillips head screwdriver again without snickering.

Why not avoid the copywrite deal all the way around by having them purchase their books? College students, as well as continuing ed, are used to paying $60 or more for their textbooks, though I direct them to Amazon marketplace…
I am in love with Judge a Book.
Thanks so much for the link. Good for laughs, snorts and the occasional guffaw.
I don’t think that educational fair use extends to short stories without paying some royalties, since you’d be using the whole work and not an excerpt.
That may depend on the way the short story is sold--one of the…
I enjoyed the anthology Where’s My Hero?, with stories by Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas and Kinley MacGregor. Julia Quinn’s two Lady Whistledown collections, with stories by Suzanne Enoch, Karen Hawkins, and Mia Ryan, are both very good. I’m not usually…
I’ve wasted about 2 hours on List of the Day and haven’t even looked at the other two links yet. I think I’m in love.
