And I even added a comment after yours, directed at you.<BR/><BR/>Sally - as a reader, I love YA books. They are as varied as adult books: there are "good" and "bad" and deep and shallow and cover all the same genres as adult (well, except possibly "adult" ...), and lots of self-respecting adults in the know choose YA fiction for its directness and in-your-faceness. I will definitely buy your June baby, to remember that I'm a grown-up. Kind of. Shall we invited Jane to our launches, do you think? I think she deserves it for telling us about the boots, if nothing else.Nicola Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189894289540344094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-30643572909990363682009-04-11T16:38:00.000+01:002009-04-11T16:38:00.000+01:00Oh, my, we're going to have Rival Launches to cele...Oh, my, we're going to have Rival Launches to celebrate in June with both of you swanking around with your new books, aren't we? I shall look forward to that.<BR/><BR/>Nicola, I do hope you DID actually click on the link and see the boots. I dearly want a pair just like that, even though I doubt I'd be able to even stand upright in them. They are just gorgeous.Jane Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411253302725735470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-6559144786529966002009-04-11T12:03:00.000+01:002009-04-11T12:03:00.000+01:00I don't usually buy YA books as I am neither young...I don't usually buy YA books as I am neither young nor an adult. But I am definitely going to make an exception in this case. Sounds great.(But how dare it be published in June? I don't like sharing...)Sally Zigmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520579251842006765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-15226857710929713082009-04-11T11:06:00.000+01:002009-04-11T11:06:00.000+01:00Jane, now I'm really blushing.

And I thought I was going to have to make some erudite comment on something heavy to do with vanity publishing. And now I'm going to crawl away into a chocolate-filled hole somewhere. Thank you - and I look forward to doing the same for you.Nicola Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189894289540344094noreply@blogger.com
