Serious question:

With the amount of lip-licking a dog does, have you ever seen a dog with chapped lips?

Why is it that I approach book reviews with spoiler alerts like I’m about to read juicy gossip?

👀(Insert giddy/evil laugh)

It’s the “tap to review,” isn’t it?

I hurt my back/hip/butt this weekend doing absolutely nothing interesting, so I’m on the couch writing this morning.

Can you spot the Doodle?

Found this, sadly without attribution.

I should juxtapose it with the article going around about 'people who decorate for the holidays are happier people' but who am I kidding? That would take more energy than I have.

You know what I love about anthologies? So many new-to-you authors!

You know what I love about Days of Awe (besides my totally balagangsta story, "The Agent")?

We're Jewish authors writing the Jewish stories we want to read.

My oldest is bringing her boyfriend to meet us today, which must be why I woke up with the greatest urgency to go out and buy an Entenmenn’s Pecan Danish Twist.

I’ve officially become my mother. Except, she can’t stop me from stealing the pecans off the top anymore.

I got excited. I thought it said traife. As if there are rules for knows how to transliterate.

But — if I ever write erotic romance, I know what I'm naming the forbidden hero.

For A happy New Year
Kinderlach!
You see the star of the new year. This is how your happiness will shine bright and clear.

(OMG did you know Google Translate can translate Yiddish in photos!?!)

Methinks he's one of those guys who's not as good as gold. But also, Happy New Year! These greeting cards are honest, and I love them.

Better hope mom's writing her shopping list and not a naughty list.

No worries! These kids are as sweet as honey. Bete'avon—I mean, L'Shana Tova.

What's this? You haven't met the Feingold Sisters yet?

You can read all about their exploits only in the #DaysOfAwe Anthology. www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHXNMLVR/

Oh hello, lovelies. Did you know our #DaysOfAwe anthology came out a few days early and is already killing it like the Angel of Death upon your sins?

The Feingold Sisters are #1 in my book.
Read all our stories of awe and survival.

Nothing says "Happy New Year" quite like Tsar Nicholas II's head on a rooster during the atonement ceremony when (for some) a chicken is waved over the head and then slaughtered in accordance with halachic rules and donated to the hungry.

That guy was such a bastard. #KnowYourHistory

Just me having a totally Ashke-normal supper at work, as one does, mere nights before the Days of Awe.
