I am easily amused (Updated)
Top ten searches that led to my site over the last 24 hours:
- jill grinberg agent
bladder torture
strange color puce
batsmen losing balance and hitting wicket
what a boy looks like naked
best sledges
my sister naked
publishing, book, advances, average
is new york or sydney better
dumping someone
Is there no topic on which I’m not an authority? Nope, not one.
Update: Just so as you know, I cheated and left out all the obvious searches like my name, books I’ve written, Elvis and mangosteens.

janet Says:
And I thought it would be mangosteens — just thought you should know that someone else is blogging them.

Niki: Course not. You’re a good girl, you are.
Janet: I left off all the obvious searches like “Elvis”, “Justine”, “Larbalestier”, “Magic or Madness” and “mangosteens”.

Jenny D Says:
“what a boy looks like naked” is particularly adorable! assuming, you know, sort of ya fanbase rather than weird pedophile–but it has a sort of openness/air of inquiry that makes me think the former…

5. Justine Says:
Jenny D: that’s what I assumed, too. Not the fanbase, but that it was a curious little girl. It’s the first time I’ve seen it. Rather different from “my sister naked”, which comes up every single day.

janet Says:
justine: ah, I see. I’m glad that the mangosteen community is going strong.
I just sent you some email with the subject line “what a boy looks like naked.” I hope it gets through your spam filter….

7. Justine Says:
I prolly should’ve mentioned that I cheated and took the obvious search terms out . . .
Your email sailed through my spam filters. Why does that sound vaguely rude?

Rachel Brown Says:
How do I figure out what search strings took people to my website? that sounds like fun.

I use statcounter.com. It’s most excellent. Hours of procrastination guaranteed.
