Instead I have to be a pretend-shark (because, really, I'm a teeny tiny clownfish at best) and chomp through a PhD thesis. There might be sobbing involved. And gnawing. And the letters w, h & y written bigger and bigger on the margin. And pleading for it to be over already so I can go back to reading books for fun.<br /><br />I'm already on the final warning for sobbing on my rather opinionated couch - it threatened to become lumpy and change from incredibly comfy to, well, not so comfy if I don't stop with the waterworks - so I think a book would be the safer choice.NotJanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330407812411729832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-4986550870532774192014-12-20T13:40:31.272-05:002014-12-20T13:40:31.272-05:00104, but only if you come sob on my couch.

As much as I’d like to host Your Sharky-Sobbiness on my insanely comfortable couch so we can banish all worldly cares with magical frozen umbrella drinks sipped straight from unicorn horns that have been lovingly polished and carved with ancient runes (I just received a Ninja blender and am now a Certified Master of Blender Sports), I will humbly request a book. My book, in fact, smoking hot from the presses after you negotiate a resplendent contract. You will, of course, have to start representing YA and MG. Wait… what? Time to wake up? Must have fallen asleep on my couch. Anyway, my answer is 108.
