Welcome, early birds! See, Liz, we had 27 post here before the official opening, and they count as much as any others.
They sure do! I'm glad everyone enjoys these meetings so much that they want to get to gabbing early!

Go read it right now! ... more
That's one of my favorite stories. Maybe growing up in parochial school will do that to a girl!

When you've all finished reading the material above, and got tired of trying to outstare the cat, let us know whether you've read this book, or any others like it. There are all too few, as far as I know.

I know, but I'll bet you'll tell it first, Brenda.

Let's just say that interest in "open marriage" has skyrocketed lately, and Tristan has another book on exactly that topic.

I wonder if Tristan Taormino had any trouble finding good stories for this anthology? Did she have to cast more widely or did good ones come pouring in? These stories are so great.

LOL This is how I feel so often Sacchi! I just give up and say hi to everybody inclusively and then try to keep up with the conversation...

Maybe if we're really lucky Gingrich will make some wild comment (or someone will make a revelation) that will focus interest on this trans book, too.

Maybe we should send him a review copy.
