Lots of good linkities today.
Hope your work project is deployed on schedule.

Footnotes, good. Endnotes? EVIL.

Love the princess who saved herself! None of that saved-by-the-prince crap, none of that patriarchal violence. I borrowed your link (with credit!) for my own post tomorrow.

A recent post from blodeuedd..Lady Scoundrels’: The Darkness that Comes Before by R.Scott Bakker
Ouch! I have a kid entering college in the Fall. I don’t think I needed to know that there is a good chance that he may be there for six years. He better be out in 4 as I then have to pay for his younger bro.

Chris- Apparently, the poutine soda doesn’t parse.
A recent post from lorraine..Ten On Tuesday- Ten Reasons Why You Knit
Finally caught up on the links 🙂
Have to say about your additional comment:
Maybe all authors of popular series that need to end (I’m looking at you, Janet Evanovich!) should do the last book as a Choose Your Own Adventure…
Isn’t that the one where Stephanie either finally gets killed (probably with a cake if there is any justice in the world) and Ranger and Morelli finally get together ?? 🙂
Have a good weekend!
A recent post from Kate..Little things……..a round up post….
