Happy Birthday hugs and three big cheers for Live Journal’s Carrie Jones (

)!! Love (and Other Uses for Duct Tape), published by Flux, is officially out today!! This anxiously awaited sequel to Tips on Having a Gay (ex) Boyfriend (Flux, 2007), follows Belle during the final months of her senior year. Just when things were getting better, all kinds of changes throw her off kilter. Find out how it all goes down for Belle, Tom, Emmie, Dylan and Bob. 

On her website, Carrie confesses that she wrote this story using the Alison McGhee method of writing and writing and writing — out of order. Carrie’s editor, Andrew, deems it a sexy way of writing. Cowboy boots and a puppy were also involved. That’s all I can say. You gotta read the book!

  2. You made me cry!
    This is the nicest/coolest post ever. Grover is not in trouble for moonlighting, I assure you. How can he be when he looks so sexy in that apron?

  3. What a relief! I’m thinking of recruiting Grover as a sous chef. I just hope Tala won’t get jealous. Happy Release Day, and Happy Birthday again!! A million fudgicles to celebrate!

  4. I forgot to mention that the VERY best part of this post is the duct tape on the bowl of soup. That is priceless and cool and good and I am just in awe of you and your awesomeness. Seriously. Everyone in the house is all, “Whoah. How amazing. Look at it! Squee! Look at the duct tape! Squee! Squee!”

  9. My husband thought I was crazy using his duct tape. (You’d think he’d know me by now.) As for the pasta, it’s the brand I’ve used all along. Grover loves the extra attention, and is now thinking of running for office.

  10. Grover does indeed get around. I think Maine is too cold for him. No snow on the ground here in Virginia. And you’re very welcome. I’m always happy to link to good stuff!
