We here at The Uncrushable Jersey Dress have had a very fun month. First, Betty Magdalen stumbled across our humble blog and then in a blink we had all these other Bettys sprout up. (But you were our first, Betty Magdalen. And Bettys never forget.)
Our very first goal was to have someone--anyone--who wasn't related to us and whom we hadn't press-ganged into it, comment on the blog. Before, we wondered if we were the only ones who knew and loved The Betty. And now we have lively comment threads from several of our more loyal Bettys. (Is there anywhere in the inter-webs discussing turbans more passionately than we?) Our little spinning globe is collecting dots like a pubescent fry cook. And today someone from South America popped by (accidentally? with a Google search of sausage rolls?) so that makes us read (however briefly and accidentally) on all the continents except Africa and Antarctica--so if you know anyone going... We couldn't be more tickled.
Keeping this in mind, we (The Grand High Poobah Arbiters of Everything) decided to add links at the bottom of each of our primary book reviews to the Amazon page that carries them. We may also at some point join the dark side and add Adsense (still undecided at this point) to help defray the small costs of conquering the world one Betty Neels at a time.
Being hyper cheap Aramintas we still encourage you to pick up your Bettys at libraries and library sales and used book stores and Goodwills but, if we've just reviewed one you just have to have, feel free to hop on our link and ride on over to Amazon. Our modest goal is that it someday generate enough to purchase an ink cartridge.
Again, I thank you, our Army of Bettys. When I am really the Grand High Poobah Arbiter of Everything, I will remember you fondly.
And I shall be "Betty Debbie the Magnificent", sans turban, distributing our largess to the deserving masses. By largess, I mean Betty Neels novels, and no one is more deserving than our army of Bettys.
ReplyDeleteDr. Sir Betty Debbie the Magnificent, you mean.
ReplyDeletebookmooch.com is also a good source for The Neels.
ReplyDelete...and has the best site name ever!
ReplyDeleteI'm still pretty sure I have all of the books (although I may be missing one or more of the novellas...), but just yesterday I found two duplicates, which are going out to my good friend, Betty Janet, on the grounds that she only has two Neels books and thus has the greatest need.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the love, Bettys -- right back at ya! You tolerate my know-it-all-itiveness in a way that is most generous and kindly, as befits your Araminta hearts.
I think that would be Dr. Dame Betty Debbie the Magnificent...
ReplyDelete(That's my pesky know-it-all-itiveness again.)
Betty Magdalen, excellent! Way to show unstinting generousity...first giving away your well earned book by donating it to one in need of Neels, and then giving away your own books! We should set up "The Betty Magdalen Neelship Fund" - and whenever you win a book, you could donate it to a deserving Betty.
ReplyDelete(BTW-Betty Janet should be getting the book you donated to her today or tomorrow...)
Betty Debbie -- Yup, she tweeted yesterday that she'd received it. I have a couple I need to send to her; that will get her collection up to 5!!
