I love that my new(ish) blog set up allows categories- so someone who is interested in a specific genre can find all the reviews in that genre. But speaking of you (I am now...)-- how do you do it?? What you have accomplished in such a short time is fantastic. Where do you find the time? Is there a drug or a time machine? Please share!

Yep, that's it exactly! I'm all about the character, and if romance is part of that, fantastic. When it's the whole storyline, it's not enough.

That's a great idea! I think i'm in the minority, but I'm not a huge fan of the "like" button phenomenon.
(total side note- but I just realized I can make this posting window bigger by dragging the corner- way cool!)
