I remember a lot girls were pregnant when we graduated -- no deaths yet. And, the principal was having an affair with someone. And, we were allowed to wear "skorts" (Skirt-shorts) to school the last week of classes -- and they couldn't be much above the knee. Girls always had to wear dresses and not aloud to wear pants. Oh, and the theme song was "I Am Woman" by Helen Reddy. :)Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-22787978113050245542012-03-16T15:22:17.829-06:002012-03-16T15:22:17.829-06:00it's a type of book I'd never read myself,...it's a type of book I'd never read myself, but I do love how her name Brinda Berry resonates and vibrates when pronounced.

Just when I thought I had the hang of this blogging thing.<br /><br />At first, I didn't think much of the idea of this book. But your sell job and the way the story promises to unfold made it sound better than the original premise. I guess that's fair warning that the "all X ever wanted was y" but premise can turn people off; maybe lead with something other than that. <br /><br />Then again, if I knew anything about marketing, would I be doing my current job? <br /><br />Probably, as it would be a shame to see law school go to waste.<br /><br />Back to pizza rolls.

Besides, I enter every kindle contest I find because my tablet screen isn't easy enough to see in daylight, and I read while I'm walking for health reasons. I think I have about 30 e-books in line, most that indie authors sent for betas or reviews. Instead I read the paperbacks I can see better.Sher A.
