This isn't a question but I just wanted to thank you so much for your fantastic book reviews. I find that if you recommend a book, rest assured that not only will I read it, but I will like it so much that I will also recommend it to other people. In fact, I do have a question now that I think about it. What does "tk" mean in your reviews?
Charles Finch
Oh Carol! This is so so kind of you!!!! I am really pleased you feel that way, because I try to put a lot of thought into my reviews and am never sure if people are reading them...
To answer your question, "tk" is journalismese for "to come"! A lot of journalism terms have misspellings to avoid similar letters being confused - hence "lede" not "lead" of an article, for example.
