When you have a chance- please stop by and follow the blog for my middle grade novel that I am hoping to get published. http://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/ <br /><br />Take care-<br />Jess- although I may show up as Fairday, the main character from my novel. I can't figure out why that happens and I can't fix it. :)DMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-71985865353911146792011-11-04T17:26:51.966-06:002011-11-04T17:26:51.966-06:00Eek!

I have to know! :)<br /><br />@Anachronist... I would have to insist. This isn't your kind of YA.<br /><br />@Melliane...I think if you didn't like Twilight, you probably won't like this one.<br /><br />@Belle... If you don't like those, then you may not like this one. <br /><br />@Giselle... It wasn't boring per se, but I can see how it annoyed many.<br /><br />@Aurian... If you don't like YA, then probably not for you. :)<br /><br />@Animewookie... LOL My my... :D<br /><br />@Stephanie... I hope it does away with the secrets!!<br /><br />@Nina... Hm... if you try it, I hope you like it. At least you know what to expect!<br /><br />@Jenny... LOL Nope, no triangle! I'm the same... sometimes they don't bother me at all.<br /><br />@Ashley... I know! I love the cover!<br /><br />@Savannah... LOL I loved her name. I even enjoyed her when she wasn't keeping secrets!<br /><br />@Felicia... It really did. It wasn't even close to a dnf.<br /><br />@Mel... I hate cliffies!!! Hate!<br /><br />@Smicha... I hate the secrets in this book too.
