  • narfna on A really good anthology! Emmalita and andtheIToldYouSos were not kidding.Good to know! Thanks :) I haven't been leaning towards historicals, either, unless they're queer. Which is probably why I haven't read her yet!
  • Amy on Tom Robbins re-reads #1: Skinny Legs and AllCan-O-Beans is one smart cookie. You quoted my favorite line from the book - about the importance of word choice, language and precise vocabulary.
