Do you think queens have much time to read? Do you think that after Queen Elizabeth's social secretary has read out the Queen's engagements for the next day and Philip has said goodnight with a friendly tap on the bum, she gets out her torch and reads under the quilt? If there wasn't enough time to read, one would think that would be enough reason for one to abdicate.* I would hate for anyone to be deprived of the sort of enjoyment I got out of reading Magic Slays.
I would try and rhapsodise about its heroine, Kate Daniels, in poetry, if I wasn't sure that poetry is the sort of thing Kate would resort to violence to prevent. Which would be a good thing, because my poetry is not the sort of disaster you want to unleash on the world, particularly as so many people are already predicting the apocalypse. As a matter of fact, since so many people think the end of the world is nigh, why don't we all just quit our jobs and read? I guess we can watch some movies too, and have book clubs in cool cafes. Who's in?
* Speaking of abdications, I think England should definitely have a holiday in thanks for Wallace Simpson. If Edward VIII hadn't abdicated to marry dear old Wallace, England would have had a Nazi sympathiser on the throne during WWII. Which would have been bad.
