I think a nasty stormpocalypse is headed our way. Barely got the outside toys put away when the wind starte blowing and the sky turned an ominous gray.

Very nice review. It was cool to see that the thrust of the book was as clear to outsiders as to those who know you/us.

What a sweet review!
DH taught Olivia to do the "I < heart > you" thing where she points to herself, rubs her chest and then points to you.
I am slain.
Bush is apparently speaking in Cleveland today. Might 'splain the shitty weather in Ohio, what with the cloud o' doom following him around and all.

The real heart of the book is centered on the online friends that Allyson made who became real life pals,such as fellow campaigner Kristen, ita(yes,her name is ment to be spelled in lowercase)
The reviewer totally gets it. Even the grammar!

Me too, even without actually seeing it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
YAY FOR NOAH BEING HOME! WHOO!!!
Yay for good review, paperdol! I suck as a friend and have yet to haul my ass to the bookstore, as my bed seems to have developed its own gravitational pull. I should get there tonight, though. Hopefully. And then I'll buy two books - one for me and one for lending.

I bought mine in Milwaukee, read it, gave it to my sister, and now I'll buy another in Chicago when I get paid at the end of the week.

The pimp your bookcart is totally the best thing ever! My librarian showed us that site a while back, which I think was a big hint hint. We plan on pimping her bookcart to make it a caffeinated cart. At Children's hospital, they have a cart pimped to look like a cow which says "Book MOOOObile."

I already have 4 (or maybe 5, I'm not sure) people in a borrowing-book tree, after I finish with it. I wish I *could* buy a copy for lending, because I'm still unable to part with mine!
Also, now I probably know how the people who ahem tv episodes feel when they can watch along with everybody else, with the addition of the way the un-ahem-ing people around them can't share the joy. Only with me, it's because I'm selfish and petty and wanna hug my copy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nice review, Allyson! Go you.
In unrelated news, my head hurts and I want to go home. But I will not.
Code question: Like how "Does this make me look fat?" and "What's up?" often mean something unliteral, am I amiss in often interpreting an intent "So...are you seeing anyone?" as first gambit in the asking out game, and a gambit you can reply to in code of "Yeah," or "I'm off the market" (if you want to make the subtext dom?
Got into an argument about it yesterday where I opined that a fictitious boyfriend is both more likely to work and less painful than the truth which may simply be "I just like you as a friend."
