If you haven’t perused the page the ancient Sumerian god, Mantitte the Top-Heavy, made for us today, you can hurt your eyeballs right here.

And here comes your weekly chance to be inducted into the Supremely ‘Sclusive Smart Bitch Peerage. Guess the correct title, author and heroine’s name (don’t forget the heroine’s name!) and you’ll find yourself the proud possessor of a supremely witty¹ Smart Bitch Title.
