Just write.]
I thought better of my pal Booksquare. I thought she was too busy thinking Deep Thoughts to stoop to participation in a meme. And I thought this would be a great opportunity to show my superiority (okay, just pretend for a minute) by sniffing importantly and explaining that I don’t do memes….

Oops! I think I just memed again.

Johnyy’s kiss with Cilla? The stuff of eleven year old fantasy (weird hand aside). Making fun of a girl’s first literary crush is cruel. Yours??

I reread (long story) the Amy/Laurie romance last year. Okay, I want to be Jo. I am Jo. But…Amy and Laurie worked for me. I love girly-men as long as they can change the litter box. Very important. Can we kiss and make up or is it heroes at dawn?

Please not dawn. One needs her beauty sleep. Desperately.

Lolita is beautiful. Truly so. I appreciate it more as I grow older.

David, I had faith.

Now that I’m old enough to appreciate the prose, I’d like to approach it again. Judith Ivory, one of my favorite romance authors, inspired me the second time. Did you happen to catch an article she wrote a while back mentioning it? Made it sound delicious.

BookSquare, we hardly knew you at all! Your comment on my blog about Laurie, Alcott’s girly-man (look at the name!), is enough to incite a blog feud! When the topic is fictional men, let’s just agree to disagree. THB (As for books, I totally agree with your assessment of “House of Mirth.”)
