I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Can you explain what you mean, Typo? What does "for comment" mean? A review? A quote?

I'm hoping for a mention in a blog post. So somewhere between a public comment and a review.

In my experience, that's not the sort of thing you nudge someone about. If they're interested and have time, they'll do it.

Finished my history and the first chapter of "Deadlands".
The main character is Jill who has a lot in common with Jilli-Voice-Reason, but is not her. (For one thing, Jill is a dedicated Bicyclist.) Whether she continues to have a lot in common with Jilli will depend on Jilli's permission, though other fiction has been based upon her.

I'm looking for Beta readers if anyone is interested. Profile addy is good.

That's unsurprising and depressing.

That Emily Giffin thing is outrageous. I hope some of that got back to her agent and/or her editor, because bad word of mouth like that goes a lot farther more quickly these days.
If I caught S. even making a comment on a review of mine, I would freak. You don't do that, and you don't encourage people you know to do it, ever.
