GRRRRRRR ARRGH. FINALLY got the Miffy pillow I ordered via Walmart & that I accidentally ordered from a 3rd party vendor. The vendor is a dropshipper (item came directly to me from China) & now that it's here - it's absolutely not a licensed product but a knockoff. Poor quality all around.

"Miffy" plush pillow - not at all plush.Close up of poor embroidery (one of the eyes) - both eyes are like this as is the nose.Close up of part of the label - all in Chinese - No licensing info.

Today is Romance Book Blast Day and I've already given away 700 free copies of THE BACHELOR'S VALET, my cozy Wodehousian MM romance set in 1920s London with magic. ✨Get it on Amz and KU: books2read.com/u/3LelXN 💖 Over 900 more free indie romance ebooks: www.romancebooklovers.com

Alphonse Hollyhock is blessed with wealth, class, and more beauty than brains. Though he hasn't got a lick of wit or magic to his name, he's perfectly content living life as an airheaded bachelor with his valet—the clever, unflappable Jacobi—by his side to ensure everything runs smoothly. All he lacks, according to his mother, is a wife. Despite Alphonse's protests, he's to marry Aaliyah Kaddour: a bright, headstrong young woman who would probably be charming company if she didn't threaten everything about Alphonse's way of life. Marrying means giving up his fashionable flat, his fast car, and, worst of all, it means losing Jacobi. Perhaps most distressingly, this talk of marriage is bringing all sorts of confusing feelings to the forefront. Because rather than falling for the beautiful girl being pushed into his arms, Alphonse seems to be falling for his valet. Except a man can't fall in love with another man. Can he? Meanwhile, Aaliyah has plans of her own. She's as devious as she is pretty, but if Alphonse wants to get through this marriage business in one piece, he'll have to trust her. Her and Jacobi, and, most dangerously, his own feelings. The Bachelor's Valet is a novel in the Flos Magicae series, a collection of queer romances set in an alternate 1920s universe with magic. All the stories are standalones and can be read in any order.

PSA related to a conversation I'm having elsewhere -- Insisting that NB or agender people should look androgynous (ex: Tilda Swinton with a shaved head) is to accept Western ideas of gender as the "default", & is in its own way cultural imperialism & sexist. Miss me with that outdated bullshit.
