Day for day, nugget for nugget, I believe it is my favorite. <BR/><BR/>You gave me the ok to comment when you said, "The kinds of books we read and write are indicators of our tastes, not our intelligence." <BR/><BR/>Though I enjoy the intelligence, spirit and style of your blog, I'm not a reader in your genre. I've felt a little--irrationally--conflicted about that. Well, you just cleared that right up.RKGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980854958149292420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1168717051458396322007-01-13T14:37:00.000-05:002007-01-13T14:37:00.000-05:00LOL...Brenda...that is a VERY creative premise for...LOL...Brenda...that is a VERY creative premise for a romance novel!
