Hello Bloglandia! I'm always one for the experiments. As they say, you can take the girl out of the science lab, but you can't take the science lab out of the girl. Wait, maybe I'm the only one who says that. Anyway, last week, I met a few robots as part of a new experiment. … Continue reading The Robots Have (Almost) Won Me Over
Someone’s Not Playing Hard to Get
Hello Bloglandia! Don't worry, despite the title, this post is not about dating advice. Instead, it's about Bookbub. Namely, how they're behaving in unexpected ways.
