Merriam-Webster has declared “w00t!” as the 2007 word of the year. Hopefully next year it will be “FTW” and so on until the entire English language is comprised of intentionally misspelled words and acronyms.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

My fourteen-year-old daughter said the exact same thing about the decline of the civilized world when I told her about W00t. Then she said, probably dictionary-type people trying to pretend to be cool.
