The ARCs themselves are not Fragile, but we do have winners who each get a copy. Woo! Thanks to Shiloh for offering the copies and judging the winners in our What’s that Smell? contest? Midknyt who said Why, it’s the new Burger King Flame scent, of course. That’s what the look over the shoulder is from - “Mmm…Burger King? No, something…different.” He really shouldn’t need to use that much though. Jen C who said: Now, I think that it is actually a good smell. I suspect that the smell has to do with “that manly scent, soap, hard work, and…

Need another look at the tree? No? Well, let’s get to the winners, then. Boy, oh boy,, did you guys Stand and Deliver when it came to cootch-tastic holiday songs. Holy crap. Honorable mention to Kaishai for I’m dreaming of a white hoo-hoo and notably “Bonkin’ around the Vulva Tree. The actual song officially became 200% more bearable. Honorable mention also to AQ for the absolutely stunning version of “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear,” particularly for the use of the word “sapid.” Melissandre gets mad props for instructing the Merry Gentlemen how to make the ladies more merry. Rev.…

From of the awesome folks at Ninth Moon, I have 3 sets of B.I.C.H.O.K. magnets for today’s prize.

Leave a comment and tell us what task you are most proud of accomplishing this year. Mine is no secret: writing the Bitch Book, when I’d never written a book before and didn’t honestly know if I could, is something I’m ineffably proud of, and…

It’s the start of Eight Crazy Nights: a giveaway every day for Hanukkah, the festival of fried foods and wrestling bits of candle wax out of the menorah after cramming the candles in their bases each night for a week-plus-one. But that’s beside the point. Our first giveaway is for an ARC of Jessica Andersen’s Dawn Keepers. We have three to give away, and Doc Jess will select randomly from your comments, provided you answer her question: If we posit that the world *is* going to end on 12/21/2012…what is one thing you absolutely want to do between now and…
