TB published the third Lizzie boxset, and she’s still trying to figure out why readers love Lizzie so much but is grateful they do. In writing news, TB is in serious crunch time to get Girl Love Happens done for her editing date. In other news, technology has decided it hates TB, and everything has been breaking on her websites, causing a lot of screaming and even more tears.
