What can I say that
Has not already been said
By Joan’s fab review?

Not a non-fic fan
Was not expecting to like
As much as I did

For me, the best joke?
The list of eye-colors for
Building a hero

Best, that is, until
I saw the "heroines list’
Then I wept laughter

But-then I kept going
And giggled at "alpholes’ and
The dictionary

By the time I came
To "Choose Your Own Adventure’
And Chapter 30?

I HEART YOU, Bitches.
Take my fifteen dollars, cause
It was so worth it.

This book was breezy,
Smart but irreverent, light
But very filling.

I learned a lot, too.
Like Candy’s Pirate fetish
Sarah’s is secret
(my vote is for sheikh romances)

If I had to bitch
About something, I’d have made
Following changes:

One: Loved, loved the list
Of heroine types. But there’s
No hero types list?

Two: Chapter on your
Blog kerfluffles. Bit odd
In a reference guide

Despite my nitpicks
This was well worth the money
And an A from me.

So when does the Bitch
Encyclopedia of
Romance come out, hmm?
