Your daughter is a genius. These backgrounds totally hit the spot. I picked the one without the moon for my mac. The plant silhouettes are reminiscent of a piece of glass I made with a sandblasted poppies design, so it feels personal as well as beautiful. I’m trying to figure out how to download the centered moon picture to a large sheet so I can make some wall hanging from it. Even though my decor has no blue in it. It’ll be wonderful. I’ll put all my cobalt glass near it or something.

Great wallpaper designs! I put one on my machine at work and got loads of compliments.

It’s already out in England right now – it caught my eye yesterday in my local (Yorkshire) Borders, set out in a special rack right in the path toward the coffee shop! It was a wonderful surprise.

I’m almost positive there’ll be an Agnes avatar (an avatar is the little picture that appears beside posters names in some online communities and blogs). And I’m pretty sure there’ll be Agnes wallpaper–think flamingos and bullet holes–when it’s done, too.

I’ve just spent most of the day working on the content for the Agnes site so that Mollie can get started on it. LOT of content, especially since there’s going to be ten of the Cranky Agnes columns on there. I have four done. I’m cribbing from some old Argh Ink posts, so when you see them, don’t say loudly, “HEY, DID JENNY WRITE ABOUT THAT ON ARGH INK?” It’s only on two out of the ten of them, and I’m rewriting them.

But thank you very much for remind me to put a Download Page in there.

I’ve loaded the TUMF’s wallpaper on my office computer, my home computer, and my PDA. (Hey Mollie, thanks for creating 3 versions!)

Dare I ask if we’ll be blessed with AATH wallpaper and avatars? OMB, I’ll have to find an online community to join just so I can use the avatar! (I’m picturing that portrait of Agnes from the site.)

Beautiful. Beautiful.
Sorry, can I be dense and ask what an avatar is?

That was the funniest trashing of a book I have ever read. And it is amazing how many books “borrowed” their cover from the same inspiration.

Poor Mollie will be playing website catch-up for a while now. Updating AATHM reviews on Jenny and Bob’s website, keeping up with UMF, Adding the Dogs and Goddesses link to Jenny’s site, finishing Bob’s site… It never ends. Great job Mollie.

Oh my. Did you read the SmartBitches review /after/ Agnes?
(To give you a hint, the reviewer openly regretted there was no grade lower than F.)

Clearly your daughter is a goddess among mere web mortals.

I love the downloads, and I am looking forward to reading both TUMF and AATHM, AKA Agnes.

These covers would make beautiful sweatshirts.

Gorgeous. Mollie and Mara outdid themselves.

I love the Smart Bitches. They’re so damn SMART. And I thought that before the review, too.
Plus they get the best worst book covers. Did you see the one with the rabbit ears? I have to go back and get that one, it’s absolutely the worse cover I’ve ever seen. Makes me feel good all over. And you have to check out their inspirational cover contest where readers created their own covers using images from the Creation Museum. Their minds are vast and deep but also incredibly Byzantine. And then there are the reviews. Genius, I’m telling you, even before Sarah liked Agnes. Now Candy will probably loathe it, but I don’t care, they’re still one of the funniest, smartest sites on the net.

The UMF website is indeed just beautiful, kudos to Mollie and Mara!!!

Off topic here, but Smart Bitches posted their review of Agnes & the Hitman this morning … A-, they loved it. Woo hoo!

It’s a magnificant website – gorgeous downloads. My hat is off to Mollie (and her mom).

The website is great, I loved the black sides, makes it more dark, while flowers softer it. I love it.
