Book Review: Girl Parts
“Hello, David. My name is Rose. It’s a pleasure to meet you. We are now entering minute two of our friendship. According to my Intimacy Clock, a handshake is now appropriate…” David and Charlie are opposites. David has a million friends, online and off. Charlie is a soulful outsider, off the grid completely. But neither feels close to anybody. When David’s parents present him with a hot Companion bot to encourage healthy bonds and treat “dissociative disorder,” he can’t get enough of luscious red-headed Rose — and he can’t get it soon. Companions come with strict intimacy protocols, and whenever…

And thus….
The reason that I haven’t done an IMM post in two weeks. I had a birthday. For said birthday I got gift cards, which are my favorite type of gift, and I went on a book clearance sale buying spree! It was really fun. Then, all those books showed up at my door in three boxes over a week span, and along the way I received prize books and swap books and books, Books, BOOKS! I suddenly realized….I had no idea where they were going to go! So, after a lot of cleaning, a lot of rearranging, here are my…

In which I plan my move to WordPress.
A very short while ago, I decided that I was ready to upgrade from my Blogger space here. I’ve had a blog here in Blogger for an extremely long time, even before I decided to book blog. In all that time I’ve always been missing something. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to make this space exactly what I want it to be. Long story short? I’m ready to move it on up. So, I purchased my own domain name and my own web host space and I’ll be moving over to WordPress software at the end…
