Okay, maybe it's been too long since I've read Fighting Fire. It was one of my first Mooch books...

Is Clockwork Girl a sequel to Clockwork Heart? Or a typo? If it's the former, do I want to read it? I am also not finished with CH, and I believe it's just us this round, so it's all good.

Totally a typo. Typing way too fast and with my brain on something else. I'm now about halfway through. Unlikely to finish Retail Hell though. Nothing worse than someone who thinks they're funnier than they are at the expense of others. Toss in misogyny and fat-shaming and I might have to find this man and beat him with a shoe in case he's thinking sequel.

So the sexism article was timely indeed. I was explaining to Mark yesterday how gay men can be sexist against women and he was skeptical until I got to the boob grabbing. Then he was appalled and suggested kicking them in the nads. Equality is equality, after all.
