That way, I know when something's coming! She had a long, hard battle before she returned to writing. I thought it was worth rushing out to grab a copy, if only to support her, but also because I love her books, of course! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-83929936899274525722014-02-06T09:50:00.818-06:002014-02-06T09:50:00.818-06:00It's a good one, Melissa!It's a good one, Melissa!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-57408302056412782162014-02-05T23:07:07.230-06:002014-02-05T23:07:07.230-06:00I really like SAA books.

I'm sure you'll love it when you get to it. Dept. of Speculation, though . . . so many people have enjoyed it that I wouldn't tell anyone to avoid the book. But, if it hadn't been so short I doubt I would have finished.
