ION, I just got my December issue of Romantic Times Book Club. In October. Within a week of getting the November issues of the other magazines I read. Is it just me or is this a little ridiculous? It's basically reviews of books that hit the shelves in December, so it's not too soon to preorder or make library purchase requests, but if I read it now, there's no way I'm going to still remember that any particular book sounded intriguing 6 weeks from now when I might actually see them in the local B&N.

Serial commas suck. They're for fuddy duddys and maiden aunts and licorice eaters and people who have hard candy in cut glass bowls that melts together into one lump and collects dust.

Well, I'm two of those.

I should clean out the candy dish, yes.
