Quote of the Day:
“I really wish there was someone smarter than me around to deal with it.”
“I understand, but sometimes being a grownup means you’re all the smart you’ve got, and you just have to do your best.”
~ Overheard in Borderlands Bookstore
Your Moment of Gail
“I suspect it may be like the difference between a drinker and an alcoholic; the one merely reads books, the other needs books to make it through the day.”
(Interview with The Booklovers blog, September 2010)” ~ Gail Carriger
Questions about Gail’s Parasolverse? Wiki that sheez!
I have every publication of yours that I can get my little mitts on. Your books are comfort food for my mind. The longer I’ve had them, the more times I’ve reread them. I let them sit for a year or so, and then it’s like a special treat, or a visit from an old friend you haven’t seen in a while (to muddle the metaphor). The Finishing School, the Protectorate and the Protocol are like a sampler box of gourmet chocolate. But the San Andreas Shifter books are pint after pint of Dulce de Leche Haagen Dazs. (5th Gender is this poor orphaned little dark cherry gelato . . . .) Sigh. I wish you wrote faster.
P.S. I bet you could get a Kickstarter or Go Fund Me campaign funded to do another printing of the Fan Service pretty much in record time. I’d subscribe!
