I thought I had it on my bookmooch wishlist, but maybe not...I'm going to go see. :-) Thanks for not letting a good book slip through my memory! <strong>I just loaned it to a friend but will add to bookmooch when I get it back - or (even better) I'll let you know it's ready and I can send it to YOU.</strong> I can’t wait to read this book!

I just loaned it to a friend but will add to bookmooch when I get it back – or (even better) I’ll let you know it’s ready and I can send it to YOU.

Ever since I saw that cover, I've wanted that edition. I skim the intro first, then go back and really read it after. <strong>I'm so happy you're so happy!</strong> I’m so happy that you liked this book.

I tend to read the introductions first to see if I get a flavor of the book before starting! <strong>Spooky ooky, creepy and eeky!</strong> The cover is spooky!

She assumes you know what she is telling you, like you are a friend, a confident. You understand." Yeees. And I think this is a big part of what makes this book so brilliant. I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much, Care! And thanks for linking to my post. As for introductions, I learned to read them after the book the hard way. But if they're not safe to read first, they shouldn't be introductions. Unfortunately it seems that publishers can't be trusted to respect their reader's desire to not have stories spoiled for them. “Her style is so conversational and easy and, yet … it makes the reader UNEASY!
