I love Don't Call Me Jonathan. However, I am only now recovering from the book hangover caused by Playing for Keeps.

Despite the fact it destroyed me, Playing for Keeps is my favorite book of yours.

And you're quite proud of yourself for inflicting all that emotional damage - as well you should be!

And I thank up for it.

I look forward to it.

(Stil haven't gotten over Playing for Keeps, by the way.)

Grateful that you shared those stories.

Playing for Keeps by Jay Heron. It's been eight days and I still have a hangover from this book!

Yes, it has been a week. Yes, this book has stayed with me. No, I do not want it to let go of me.

I cannot stop thinking about this book! This week, I've been rereading familiar books because I can't concentrate on anything new!

The man is delusional - and gross, but mostly delusional. My grandmother in the worst of her dementia wasn't as confused

Read. Reviewed. I swear to the universe, you are trying to kill me! (Both with the book and the acknowledgments.) Thank you so much for a book that completely pulled me out of my own reality.

You're welcome! Although there was never any question of whether or not I was going to buy it! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Downloaded and ready to read - once I fully wake up. Slept late due to interrupted sleep. Do you have any idea how much noise two kittens can make from 3 to 5 am?

Thank you.

Yes. Plus, I had strep throat and lung inflammation. My husband's been in and out of the hospital. Monday we lost one of our cats to sudden-onset kidney failure.

This book cannot come soon enough! February's been awful so I could really use a new book by one of my favorite authors.

It's all faux outrage anyway. Morality theater. A mask to hide behind so they can claim to be protecting women, children, or whoever, without actually doing anything that would make a real difference.

Of course he hasn't read it. They never interact with any work they want to ban. That would require a level of integrity that they do not possess.

You take care of yourself and get well. That's the most important thing. I'm sad for the delay, but there's something to be said for anticipation too.

Thanks. Don't mind my ranting. It's just so relentless.

(Plus steroids always do a bit of number on my emotional regulation!)

This was the first piece of news I saw today after ignoring news due to strep throat and lung inflammation. Why won't he and his cronies just die or get arrested already ?! I wish my dream about space aliens disappearing all the fascists would come true

Well then, may they run free and create beautiful chaos that turns into yet another wonderful book!

May your words flow freely and your characters not keep too many secrets from you

Yay! I should be over the flu by then.

My husband and I remind each other all the time that part of the reason we work so well is that our crazies mesh almost perfectly! ๐Ÿคฃ

Sounds like my marriage!

Pre-ordered! Had some bank issues to sort out. Put a real crimp in my book buying since it was my book money account!

"Think of the children" when said by an evangelical or MAGA means "think of all the ways we can hurt children and how many of those ways can we try to make legal."
