Aww, he seems a fun guy! It'd be great if he joined us.

I wonder how he'd feel about you renaming though, Davie darling.

[Elle]

obviously in a lot of cases people get ARC's

I would imagine he'd wish he'd thought of it first.

I'm now left feeling utterly inadequate. I just get reviews after the book is out there. Where am I going wrong. About 2056 are my books going to be banned so they're forgotten when the time travellers start their journeys

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

From now on I shall do all my reviews from the future, and be a guaranteed trendsetter.

[David]

That is good to know, Rosemary. Would you be interested in reviewing the book I intend to release in 2023?

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Already have *smirks"

LOL

[Joo]

I've read a book that's not out yet. But I haven't done a review yet. So where am I in the timey wimey?

[David]

Rather than review one of my books, I'd rather time-travelers sent me some decent investment advice.

Third horse in the second race.

Don't tell anyone I told you.

LOL. So, "Baku" is really a euphemism for the future?

[David]

So, that's how you can tell Doctor Who is fiction - he doesn't do any book reviews.

He's too busy saving the universe and flirting with his companions

I suppose that is better than flirting with the universe, some of those planets never phone like they promised they would.

Big problem for you huh

Yeah, y'know, you go into orbit around them, give 'em a bit of radio chatter, back and forth, but as soon as you want to launch a probe, suddenly they've got a star they've been orbiting for millennia, and they've had a moon or two together, and, well... you know how it is....

[Jim]

I should probably get out more :-(

OMG I finally understand what Kubrick was getting at in 2001 A Space Odyssey!

[Patti (baconater)]

Went straight over my head.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Mine too. Fell asleep

[Patti (baconater)]

You shouldn't have necked the gin Nosemanny.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I suspect only gin could improve 2001. Or sleeping through it

"Maybe you should take a stress pill, Dave."

[Patti (baconater)]

Right then. If I don't recognise it as a masterpiece, I'm ignorant as I don't know 'what it's really about'?

Is my life lessened by not being astounded?

Do I even give a shit?

I think I need to take a stress pill, Dave.

Don't we all from time to time! The best advice HAL 9000 ever gave (and the last).
