not your mom's socks.

I have an awkward favor to ask regarding Book, and I'm going to ask it in here, for full embarrassment purposes.

I love reading your comments and thoughts about Book on fbook, in chat, email (hi lurkers!) and in literary - they're wonderful and I would love to read more, anytime.

There are a number of authors on the board, and I'm saying this for all of us - As new writers (it's true for established writers also), public reviews and comments are hugely important, especially within the first month following a book's release.

If you are able and inclined to do so, would you consider copying your thoughts over to that big, online, riverlike bookseller, and/or that good online reading space, or anywhere else folks consider books? With my gratitude and hope that me saying this will help other authors as well.

Many thanks, and if you're not into it, don't worry - that's cool by me too.

he Physics of Game of Thrones October 15, 6:30p.m. - 8:30p.m. Two Brothers Roundhouse, 205 N. Broadway Aurora, IL 60505

Join Dr. Rebecca Thompson, Head of Public Outreach for the American Physical Society, for a fun and fantastical discussion on the fundamental laws of science that Game of Thrones gets right.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Remember the traveling nail polish box? (Or, hey, even if you don't: look, it's a traveling nail polish box!)

I wasn't a part of the original traveling nail polish box, so I don't know when it stopped traveling. But amyth was purging her polish collection, and I've started a bit of a nail polish obsession, so she sent them to me. (Woo hoo!)

Is there any interest in reviving the traveling nail polish box? Because amyth sent me A LOT of polishes, and I won't keep them all. So I'd be happy to send them on to someone else (possibly with more from my collection).

If you're interested, email me at my profile addy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hi, all -

Our host is doing some upgrades on Monday, so there may be a few minutes of downtime around 10am board time. Do not be alarmed!

The annual Delurking thread is now open! (Late, oops, so we'll leave it open a bit longer than normal.) Come out and play, lurkers, the water's fine!
