Patti Abbott is otherwise occupied today (the rumor that they call her Mama Punisher on the yard is only a rumor), but will be hosting the links and some reviews next Friday as usual...meanwhile, please enjoy the reviews and citations at the links below, and let me know if I've missed yours or someone else's in comments...a few stragglers might come in over the course of the day, as frequently. Thanks!

Okay, Todd. I've added my entry to the list. Looks like a very good one today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding my long-winded entry, Todd. Yes, the list looks good with a few authors I have been meaning to read, like Sturgeon and Koenig for instance.
ReplyDeleteI survived althouth the level of pain is crying for Vicodin.
ReplyDeleteYikes. Sorry, Patti. Treat yourself pleasurably/prudently however you can. (Toothy fun, folks. Never recommended.)
ReplyDeleteYvette, Prashant, thanks...it always looks good, though, doesn't it? And long-winded isn't a flaw I'd ascribe to what I've read of your entries, Prashant.
Get well soon, Patti, and do take that Vicodin.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Todd. Good luck with YOUR toothy fun next week.
Thanks on both counts, Rick!
