I must echo Vivi Andrews. Awhile ago, she reviewed this book and stated, "I would say that this book is a must buy for fans of Smart Bitches, but I'm certain all true fanatics already have their copy." Yeah, I'm probably a little late jumping on the bandwagon. You'll have to forgive me. I've had my nose buried in a pile of grading!Most of our readers are probably already fans of the snarktastic Smart Bitches (and therefor probably already own the book). If not, gentle reader, rush out and get a copy!
Here's what others in the blogosphere have to say about this fantastic book:
"It’s snigger and giggle and burst out loud laughing funny, it’s perceptive, it’s enlightening, it’s incredibly well-researched, and it’s just plain fun. It will convince your readers to shout out loud from the rooftops that they’re romance readers. Or at least to raise a suggestive eyebrow at the sneering bookstore clerk when they buy their books." (Dear Author)
"English/Lit grad students working with romance novels: Smart Bitches just pwned your thesis. Scrap what you got and start over. Think I’m kidding? Ignore my advice and you will Not Pass Go and Collect $200 you’ll just go straight to FAIL." (Love Romance Passion)
"FUN! As someone with a BA and MA in English literature AND enjoys the occasional romance novel, it was a relief to read a book that defends the genre for what it is: a genre that's not much different than mysteries, thrillers of John Clancy novels -- just with more, um, man titty." (Book a Week with Jen)

I have not read it yet. But I did make it to Candy's signing in Tukwila. That was fun! And I bought the book, but my TBR pile is quite impossible right now. The excerpts she read were hilarious!
LOL great post, I haven't read it either but anything that guarantees a snorting laugh is definitely worth looking into.
I ordered it today from Santoro's, my local bookstore, to read on a cross-country airplane trip in two weeks. Is it the type of book I can read with my three and five year-olds in the row? Big Boy has taught himself how to read from road signs and bus schedules, but I'm gambling the "itch" sound combination is still a bit complex, so I can read this in front of him. Or I could do the brown-paper book wrap.
