Mike, that audio sample is delicious! I’ve already read the book (and enjoyed it immensely) but I think I might have to get the audio version for an upcoming road trip.

I know how that feels. I have a cold, too. I went through an entire roll of toilet paper in two days just for the runny nose. How is it possible that you have that much fluid in your head?! One of life’s many mysteries.
Anyway, I recently read your older book Suicide Notes by recommendation from a friends, and man, it was an amazing read. The whole ballerina thing was the highlight of me and my friend’s jokes at school for weeks. Though, when we mentioned it WE were the only ones laughing, and the other kids looked at us like we were insane. Ahem.
Anyway, I plan on reading more of your books very soon, right after I finish the infinite stack of books on my desk. Which keeps growing rather than shrinking as I read… I blame my addiction of ordering books from the library everyday and borrowing them from friends. FML.

I freaking LOVED this book! It was so nicely written and had fun twists to it! I cannot wait for the next one! I have to say I loved the gay factor thrown into it! My boyfriend and I enjoyed reading it and I have passed it along to my bestfriend who has finished half of it!

It is New Years Day and I just finished Jane Bites Back. I got my hands on it Wednesday evening and I read it straight through. I laughed out loud reading it and I intend to recommend it to my Janeite friends. I especially liked the literary references and jokes sprinkled throughout the book. Making another 19th century writer the villian was lots of fun, particularly because she was a nasty piece of work when it came to Jane. I am looking forward to the second book in this series.

Actually, I’ve read it and I loved it. I was a bit worried and first thinking that maybe I wouldn’t understand if I I hadn’t read Jane Austen. No worries though, it was completely enjoyable and I’m looking forward to future books. My favorite part was throwing in Bronte and Byron and humanizing them at the same time as making them undead. Brilliant!

I just finished your new book today and loved it! I am so glad that another author dislikes the Brontes as much as I do. I also enjoyed how you basically poked fun at yourself as an author and I am looking forward to reading Jane Goes Batty (which you shouldn’t have put in the back…only makes me a little perturbed that it hasn’t been released yet…that is unless you want to send me an advanced copy…eh?)

I am now passing Jane Bites Back to my roommate, who will in turn pass it to our other friends. You are welcome. If you need something to read, that isn’t necessarily Jane Austen-like, you should read the Enchanted, Inc. series…very fluffy indeed, but a really fun read. Have a great day!

Comment on And the Winner Is . . . Who? by kathequa

I agree as to the demise of the Oscars. I think we can both agree that I don't need to bother with discussing Gwyneth and her fake tears acceptance speech and ill-fitting dress, but I digress..anyway, Ellen Burstyn was robbed that year as well for best supporting actress in Requiem For a Dream. Dame Judi Densch got it for, yes, Shakespeare in Love for all of her 7 minutes in said film. SO disappointing.
Sidenote: Inglorious Bastards was really good. It was Tarantino getting back to his roots. It's worth seeing if you liked True Romance and Pulp Fiction.

Go see Precious. Really. If for no other reason than Mo'Nique's final scene. The movie evolves from its initial despair into a tale of self-reliance and triumph (he says in his best movie critic voice).

I feel your pain, Michael, one of our cats was diagnosed recently with cancer and is now receiving weekly chemo treatments. He's doing very well, but the expense–YIKES! But we love our kitty so it's worth it.
