Is this a *kissing* book?!

Is this a *kissing* book?

As you can see, Elfbaby is absolutely enthralled by the very juicy How to Knit a Love Song, by one Rachael Herron. Who just happens to be her honorary godmother. It's a hugely enjoyable read, with sexy cowboys and spinning wheels and alpacas and Nissan bakkies and a rather fabulous woman called Janet whom I desperately want to have cocktails with. Evidently there are going to be more books set in this little Californian town. I do hope Janet gets more page time. She's brilliant.

(Oh, and, um, yes. It's a kissing book. Very much so. *Ahem.*)

Mass Observation: what will you be doing?

What a wonderful idea: gather masses of diaries for one particular day, to create a ginormous slice of life archive. Apparently this was done in 1937, and is now being done again. I know I plan to take part - how about you?
