Hope you enjoy it. (Best savoured on a cold, wet Washington State day?)

But one man's meat is another man's poison. I've had a succession of wonderful blog and newspaper reviews and fanmail, all of which is saying how they couldn't put the book down and there wasn't a dull page. And then I read this in a forum, to bring me down to earth: "it started off intriguing, it got incredibly over-blown, slow, and laborious." Lol!!

No matter how many people you please, there will always be those who just can't see the attraction. I find Twilight unreadable. But 8 million people will tell me I'm wrong!!

I was thinking of you tonight, Stephanie Meyer of Twilight fame has sold over 8 million books apparently. I commented I bet you wish you could too. Funny how some books just catch on isn't it?
