Uncle Walter's Bad Romance Novel Covers

Boom. Mic drop.

Peace Out.

Happy Fucking New Year -- K.R. Gray

That's it, folks. It's been a great run, but it's time to go.

For continuing Uncle Walter fun, visit us on the Quotes blog.

We can also be found poking fun at comics and UW's poor texting abilities.

Thanks for sharing the journey with us. We've enjoyed it and all of you.

-- Uncle Walter and The Wife

He was a loose cannon cop that didn't play by the rules.

Rules like leash laws.

He was really lax about poop-scooping, too.

Detection Mission -- Margaret Daley

Brief hiatus from the blogs

The Uncle Walter family is participating in GISHWHES this year. We're in the home stretch and feeling the strain. We are so exhausted in fact, that we are taking a brief break from posting so as to focus on our many, many tasks.

You should feel free to look through our past posts (there are over 1,000!), leave some comments, or enter our Caption Contest.

Even better, you can support us by following @AlarmClockRRALS on Twitter! We need at least 200 followers by Sunday. It will only tweet once per day! In exchange you will have Uncle Walter and The Wife's eternal gratitude.

Thank you for your understanding, and we'll see you on Monday!

- Uncle Walter & The Wife

It’s true that every time you hear a bell, an angel gets its wings.

But what they don’t tell you is that every time you hear a mouse trap snap, an Angel gets set on fire.

ksucymckoc -- What words do you think I could make with these letters?

Sheesh, would you just get off Facebook© and look at the damn Scrabble© board?! I'm trying to give you some hints here!

You've Got Game -- Patricia Kay

Uncle Walter, Guest Blogger extraordinaire!

We recently visited at Oh Get A Grip!, a great blog run by six authors of sexy books.  Uncle Walter was given the honor of contributing to their weekly topic, Constructive Criticism.

Are covers fair game for snark?  Unlike the quotes, the writers don't have as much say in them, so is it okay to rag on them?  Or are we bringing down the whole of the romance genre by poking fun at any part of it?  When is enough too much?

Uncle Walter addresses these concerns and explains a bit about the founding of the sites.  Be sure to read the comments and share your own!  We want to know what you think.

Don't forget to enter our caption contest!  Yes, yes, we need to end the dang thing eventually...  But really, we're trying!  We are!

P.S. Yes, we should have posted this the other day... um... we forgot and only posted it on the quotes site.  Our bad.

Oh my god! Look out it's coming!

 

It's Uncle Walter's Bad Romance Covers One Year Anniversary coming next week!

Riding the Storm -- Julie Miller
