Who wouldn’t have done the same?

I wanted to announce a link to the book blog of Ball and Cross Books of Moscow, Idaho. The owner(?), Mark Beauchamp, posts books for sale with pictures and descriptions. The prices are reasonable and the book I bought arrived with ninja doodles all over the packaging. (My wife maintains that the ninjas are more worthy than the book, but that is a whole nother matter.) So, if you’re crazy about Chesterton, Wodehouse, or the ninjas of AAPC, check it out. Also, keep an eye on it to see if anything other than Chesterton, Wodehouse or the ninjas against AAPC shows up.

I hate when the mail is late. I start to wonder whether there was any at all.

I really wish that this story about the licensing of NASCAR by Harlequin for a brickyard(sic) romance called In The Groove had a converse in which a stock car was painted with the cover of a Harlequin book.
