A less good review...

Mrs Giggles didn't like Lord and Master. On the other hand, she did give it a 68, and said that someone looking for a low-conflict romance might enjoy it, in a way that I don't think was pure snark.

This is the sort of thing I was talking about in my post last year on review writing. A good reviewer recognises that other people have different tastes, and says enough about why they liked or disliked a book for other readers to calibrate to their own taste. Yes, I'd much rather she loved the book, but this is still a helpful review, even if it stings.

Not very well today, in spite of which I still managed to get 314 words done on the new New Book this evening. So at the moment it looks like switching project was a good idea.

Did a lot of tidying up of accounts and email today. And tried to look at what tax paperwork is necessary for UK resident receiving royalty income from US (for someone else, because even if we ever move back I'll be under US resident rules for some time afterwards). However, my brain wasn't up to that. mishalak I may bug you about this tomorrow...

Read lots of con reports. Wish I could have been there. Miss you guys. Glad most of you seem to have mostly had a good time, even if there was a minor problem with the obnoxiously unbadged. Happy anniversary, Londo and LoneMagpie. May there be many more.
