Good for YOU! I need to get better at 'screw it' <br />Take those chances. I'm so glad you did. <br />BTW, i recently read from a librarian, that while she was looking for more realistic/sports/contemporary/issues book for MG --her girls were still gobbling up paranormal YA --like big time. Those that read it--never stop. And they have BIG apetites. SO rock on! Best of luck.K. L.
