There was too much telling instead of showing, and I’m not interested in decorating. Your positive review did made me rethink this decision, but I don’t think it’s for me. I only review books I like.<br /><br />I appreciated your observation about categorizing books and Meier’s blog post on this subject. Women’s fiction includes books about relationships written by women for a primarily female audience. My agent is shopping my adult novel, which tackles science and religion, as “commercial women’s fiction.” My novel for teenaged girls is being shopped as "literary young adult fiction." In the end these are marketing categories and something I let my agent worry about. I just write stories.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-84784732595978352222010-05-15T07:41:32.325-07:002010-05-15T07:41:32.325-07:00Another great review for this book!
