Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Stranded

The Boyfriend's car is in the shop. Which means he has taken my car to work. Which means I'm stuck at home today (yes, I have a day off).

Normally this is a very good thing. I can read, watch Law & Order reruns, and generally wallow. Except my aparment looks like a tonardo hit it. Which means I probably should be cleaning instead of infusing myself with caffeine and typing this blog entry.

Bah!

In other news - my latest column is up over at Romancing The Blog. I actually wrote this blog a couple of weeks ago before my brain began to melt. That was quite insightful on my part since if I had to come up with a RTB blog topic right now I think it would short circuit what brain cells I have left functioning. So go forth and comment!

I try to skew my RTB columns towards a reader's perspective because 1) I'm not an author and 2) Not big on reading author/related posts about "craft." Still, it's hard. Especially when I seem to be hating every book I read these days.

On that subject - I'm starting to get into Lover Eternal more now that I'm around page 100. Still, a hero possessed by evil who must have oodles of meaningless sex to starve off the darkness?! Didn't I already suffer through this plot device once for a review book? Somehow it hasn't gotten any less insulting since then either. Right now - LE is firmly sitting in average territory. Let's see where it goes from here shall we?

*giggle* That's the case for me, too, so I'm trying to avoid reading this week. Your latest RTB column is completely spot on. Just read your TRR review. Damn, I wish I have your ability to write reviews. Nice one. Enjoy the rest of your day off, anyhow. :)
