“Super sweet sci-fi romance, really cool exploration of non-binary gender identities, with just a little bit of naughty tentacle shenanigans. Full review here.“
GAIL’S DAILY DOSE
Your Tisane of Smart . . .
“The bottle rules the sensual world, but the tea-cup is queen in all the fair dominions.”
~ Around the Tea Table, by T. De Witt Talmage (c.1895)
Your Writerly Tinctures . . .
“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
~ Madeleine L’Engle
Book News:
“Someone was trying to kill Lady Alexia Maccon. It was most inconvenient, as she was in a dreadful hurry. Given her previous familiarity with near-death experiences and their comparative frequency with regards to her good self, Alexia should probably have allowed extra time for such a predictable happenstance.”
Quote of the Day:
“I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.”
~ Anna Quindlen
