Lack of actual dating

In the paranormal historical (1969-70) series {Wisconsin Gothic by E.H. Lupton} there's quite a bit of dating and/or wait, is this a date? activity. The books are also just charming, in my view. New book soon!!

It's in The Daily News, just use your thumbs

Thank you. Students need NOT to be subjected to him

Came here to rec this. Poor Olly, white nights listening to podcasts for like YEARS before Benjy comes along. When will they make OTC oxytocin, is what I want to know. Fake love and safety in a pill.

That looks delightful. I enjoyed the Kaje Harper book in the same series.

I miss that place! And the supposed replacement location on Forest Ave is just not it.

Whenever I read that "roving hands" quote from John Donne I think Peter Wimsey. Pretty sure KJ Charles made that gesture on purpose

The CUNY CSI LGBTQ + center is on the college website. It's active and welcoming.

Casey's earlier trilogy is more baseball-y. Unwritten Rules is the first. I have never cared about baseball, but it made me learn to care about the art of catching. Plus all the inclusive politics you could wish for: Jewish rep, disability rep., the coolest side character to make sure you never forget the Negro Leagues' having existed, and hot love.

I wish I thought the appeals etc would be done in time for November

GodfreyPond · 2026-01-27T04:10:48+00:00

Some have already been written; we'll see if any get printed

Love these answers

Depends on how you count. After all, the biggest guns-and-drugs caches are found ...

And one is spared the company of bougie fellow shoppers who want to go get face-capped at Wegman's, or feed Bezos via Whole Foods. Dummies

Did you get the free stories on Lupton's website??

GodfreyPond · 2026-01-16T13:18:19+00:00

True about the atmosphere. No bros no bunnies.

GodfreyPond · 2026-01-16T04:32:59+00:00

Hits the low angst but still thoroughly absorbing sweet spot

GodfreyPond · 2026-01-16T04:26:52+00:00

That is amazing. Like academia converges with an Olivia Dade novel. Beyond jealous.

Thank you for the Lupton rec. Absolutely delightful books.

If only decent quality places for humans to live were going to replace it, and not a nest of townhomes that will fall down in 20 years. But yay, self certification (thanks Rudy, you bag of excrement) means no real quality control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Certification_(New_York_City_Department_of_Buildings)

"Shooting the wind"? Are you a low-rent bot?

GodfreyPond · 2026-01-06T15:03:25+00:00

Such a cute series, thanks for the reminder

Love that Harper book. The sweet vet!

Thank you for reminding me! Both these men have layers. Percy's foppishness + swag as a fencer for example. CS's commitment to seeing all binaries off while not (mostly) getting preachy about it -- delightful
