I think I save up all my love for those monthly novel round-ups.<br /><br />Plus it is fun to play the tortured writer card.

I love it so much I want to lick its pages. I wish you would buy it so we could argue about it.<br /><br />Also, your blog is somewhat negative, which is fine. It is okay to be negative. But think of how much more you would really be accomplishing if you spent more time focusing on what you love and what intrigues you rather than what you hate or what irritates you.Pet & Gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384451441377704526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450078601022572253.post-15605713515906388762010-06-02T20:28:07.996+01:002010-06-02T20:28:07.996+01:00Babs: Yeah.

I usually look for authors I like in second-hand bookshops, though. That's because I can't find them in mainstream shops like Waterstones. If anything small bookshops are places for literary excursions, while your Waterstones and co. are your genre providers.M.J.

For whose benefit are these boxes created? I don't think the buying public really want the same old, same old every time they go into a bookshop. It would be fun to mount a raid on a large branch of a certain bookshop and hurl books from the shelves on to the floor and then shove them back on the wrong shelves. Would it make any difference to sales? After all if you want a specific book it is easier to order them online. If you are in a bookshop I defy most readers to resist picking ramdom books up and browsing the contents. Am I making sense?Alison Summersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450078601022572253.post-21840632158331603292010-06-01T16:13:37.958+01:002010-06-01T16:13:37.958+01:00I hate people.
