Bad romance covers unearthed at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books.

Catoosa County News: “Catoosa author Marnie Pehrson was just honored as one of Barnes and Noble’s top 100 best-selling authors….Pehrson adds that her books are also a clean alternative to most romance novels and that they won’t offend someone’s morals.”

Ben Macintyre: “Take a look at Tintin’s eyebrows. They are two, single-line half circles, above eyes that are no more than blank holes in a round face. Yet these are some of the most expressive eyebrows ever drawn. Mostly they are raised in permanently enthusiastic expectation; when Tintin is on a mission, they rise and flatten very slightly; when he is amused, one lifts a little higher than the other. The same breadth of expression is true of Captain Haddock’s beard, Snowy’s tail and Professor Calculus’s hat. Even Tintin’s tuft is eloquent.”

I’ll be less surly tomorrow. It’s one of those days.
