If it is anything like her, it will be. So weird to be recommending an author based on cookie-chat. Can't wait to read more.

Wow. Gonna step away from Natter for a bit. Not flouncing, just need to not get stressed by the prickliness. Someone let me know when/if it is safe to return.

I had no idea oxford comma was such an issue (how was I an eldest, not a middle?)

Edit: a few quick scenes that could be nsfw. Also, music. And silly math jokes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I cannot pretend to understand the Banach Tarski theorem, but I can pick up enough to get why the video is funny, so I call that a win. Also, many, many oranges is funny.
I have opinions about phrasing and whatnot, but, eh. They're probably predictable, anyway, and I'm sleepy.
My mother was lamenting how she had spent too much on e-books recently (and, dayum, she was right!), so imagine how happy she was to learn of this "borrowing e-books from the library" concept. You all are rock stars in her estimation, just so you know. I won't claim that I've never not given credit to the hive mind so I'd come off looking all smarty-pants to my every-day 3D peeps... but this time I did credit you.
We're getting her a library card tomorrow!
ETA: Er, she's had library cards before... just hadn't gotten one since she moved up here. She'd want that clarified.

She's also got books out on the history of virginity and one on sex and size and some erotica (none of which I've read, going to remedy that.)
I used to read her LJ and remember when she was writing the virginity book. Very cool that she's your neighbor-ish!

msbelle already made the points I wanted to, so I will just point at her and say "what she said."
I bought Hanne Blank's book on virginity a few years back but haven't read it yet -- maybe I'll pick it up after I finish reading March. Trying to get as many books read as possible before the baby comes!

That's where I saw Hanne Blank's virginity book! I knew it sounded familiar. It was in a stack of books in your guest room, Kate! Anyway, sarameg, this latest book looks really interesting, and I think I might get it.
